Mechman 225 amp alt in Saturn :D

[Pioneer~Saturn]

Alright,

The Mechman 225 amp'er for the stock location got installed successfully today. Even though there was some slight difficulties with the fitting, Mechman responded lightning-fast to the situation and custom-made me a bracket to make things work for me and it was a perfect fit. I got it installed and turned on the satty and it held a solid 14.6V and the test-drive was great and held above 14.3V the whole time (the AC-position alt was off for the test-drive...and no equipment was in the car..just the HU and a pair of comps ..yea, its painful)...amp dyno'd at about 153 amps at idle and 243 amps max

But here are demz picz...enjoy..

See ya stock alt...







The bracket...

HUGE thanks to Matt and Dennis for the fast response to the fitment problem+fix

i hate alt installs, always some bracket mod needed or some bolt that is too short, or a belt that is too long/short or some tensioner that has to be moved

[Calikid]

Yeah, i sent them an email and they responded very quickly.

New forum boner?

I actually really enjoyed it...the new bracket was perfect and was just a minute to install

It was the power steering that was a huge %$#@ of the day......lots of cursing going on during that
