You are welcome, and I'm sorry about the confusion.. We have had a few delays on some really custom work, but our workflow has been pretty steady in getting out in 1-2 business days for the most part.. I honestly havent been on here in at least 2 months, and if someone hadnt brought this thread...

It was shipped on the 16th, and you should have it Friday.. You will have a PM with the tracking info in about 30 seconds after I post this.. I have not been on my laptop this week, so if you sent me an email and didnt get a reply you have my apologies. You would have had a much quicker answer...

Sorry, just been hammered, hammered busy.... Stupid utility company is redoing the cable lines and our internet has been spotty the last couple days so I havent been on here much.. If anyone needs to get ahold of me quickly, please call.. 888-441-0144

Phi, I will send you a PM... The 230 your getting is the baby brother to the 270 (as I mentioned to you)... The 230's will all run closer to 250, and a shade under the 270 at idle.. Feel free to have Snoopdan test away.. I'm doing an install on an Accord this week, I guess I'm going to have to...

I actually think they are .5 ohm @ 12v because *techincally* they are about 27.5-28 amps per.. If you look at the bench, that is what the 5 toggle switches are for.. Well, yes and no on the FET's... The FET's are either on or off, it's just how many are on at any given time.. We have a big 3K...

I know we dont use current shunts for load.. The main 1/0 output wire does run through a 500a shunt which is where the ammeter on the bench gets its feed... Honestly, I dont remember what the final ohm load is... The big first stage bank is made of big "corn cob" resistors that are ~30 amps...

It was set to max just to catch max output, it's kind of hard to hold a camera and catch so many things happening at the same time and I did it so there were 2 meters both showing the same thing... If you dont believe it, you dont believe it.. I guess that's why they have SPL meters too.. The...

If your referring to the Fluke 337 clamp, it was set to hold max and has to be reset to clear it.. It was intended to be that way... There was no discrepancy between the 2 meters, just going from max hold to normal...

Feel free to comment, I'm sure there will be many... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oigS8ccj6oA

I dont remember exactly what engine RPM, but alternator RPM was between 2200-2250.. The only reason I didnt have a laser tach on the pulley is I was already holding the camera, and the 2 meters.. I'm not an octopus... Just a tip though, look at the belt in the video CLOSE, if you can see the...

I wont rate alternators by engine RPM, there are WAY too many variances... We rate them for actual alternator RPM... Speaking of which, 800 Engine RPM on most vehicles is just outright laughable.. For example, most every single GM vehicle post '99 idles at 550-575 engine RPM, which is just a...

PM replied...

Because my camera wont pick up frequencies that low... If I remember correctly that was right at 30hz... First off, It's not a GM alternator.. Watch the video in the other thread.. Look close at the alternator, surely someone with your intelligence and vast knowledge of alternators should be...

Hexacon P250 if your soldering 8G....

We build a 290 amp, 200 amp idle alt for the VW's.. Unless you need more than that, I wouldn't even try the dual alternator route.. We run these alts all the time on 6K-7K watt systems and as long as you have a few batteries, you will have ZERO trouble with them at all... Rob
