Re: Maniac Electric Motors Alternator Update
So, far I am very happy with my high output alternator I bought from eaglehigh. I got nervous after I found out manic electric did not build it. so I contacted svxcess. Thanks you, for helping me you know a lot more about alternators than I ever will, so nice to have you here.
The alternator has handled everything my car and I have thrown at it.
I have the alternator wiring mod and a strong battery.
so there are no weak links in the system.
but now I can say that weak link, was the stock alternator.
I ran the stock alternator with the same battery and the alt mod, It could not handle my sub hitting (I have a small setup) at idle. It struggled best way to describe it.
Things just didn't feel they where getting enough power. also, my stock alternator was struggling so much it heated up my engine bay.
hopefully with this alternator will last long because it wont have to work as hard and the battery will last longer because it wont have to pick up the slack for the alternator.
***still to early to tell I am just telling you my initial impressions
the only way to describe it is Power; and not having to worry about not having it***
Q: someone said that having a high output alternator give you worse gas mileage is this true?
