Ford302Redneck Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Still isn't a smart thing to do. If you want 14 volts, buy a better alternator. Or buy two 14 volt batteries and something to adjust the voltage to 16.8 volts.(Charging voltage for 14 volt batteries.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corteznewbie Posted January 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 all ready have a good alt and had to bypass the ecu voltage reg. i just rather float around 14.4 to 14.8 if i can Quote Team DBs (Driven By sound) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford302Redneck Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 I didn't say it wasn't good but 150 amps is rather small these days. Some companies have some that put out 200 amps at idle and 300 max output. That's double what you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kleinteich2 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 not trying to thread jack or anythin, but, wouldnt one 16v alt with a stepdown for the rest of the car work better? i mean u could have yur 14v constant to yur amps(like yur wanting) and u would have a constant 12v system from the stepdown for the rest of the car.

You usually need two stepdowns to run a car properly. Honestly its not worth it. Like I said, either buy 2 14volts or a new higher output alternator would be best IMO.
