Big 3 Install FAIL

yea unless you can cut and strip factory wire and mash it in with the wire in the 1/0 lug and still have a single lug on there cause a signle will fit

is the wire secured to the alt? looks like it can easily fall

 

[cdc351jeferson 10+ year member]

looks like he has enough room for one lug so if he can get both wires in one lug it would be only way to complete his big 3

I won't

Not secure without a bolt or lug but is still drivable. Voltage drops when I hit 3500 rpms down to 12s

looks like he has enough room for one lug so if he can get both wires in one lug it would be only way to complete his big 3

I don't think so

pm'ed you. not sure could have been flash in the pic but i think i saw corrosion. would make the bolt weak and make wire carry less amp and voltage. replace factory wire and i pmed you a ho alt for your car.

im assuming you already secured the power wire on the alternator.

just amazed at how ppl can strip nuts and break bolts. what are you guys using for tools? hammer and chisel? it's a 13mm nut, you use a ratchet with a 13mm socket set the ratchet to click clockwise so the tension is counter clockwise (most new ratchets actually say on or off). i have a Nissan and the alternator is right there with easy access so getting the tool is not a problem.

looked to me like the bolt had corrosion. so it was a weak bolt. its reasonable that it broke due to the corrosion.

HIGH OUTPUT ALTERNATOR 2002-2006 SENTRA ALTIMA 2.5L - HIGH OUTPUT ALTERNATORS FOR INFINITI & NISSAN

I installed one of there alts a couple weeks ago, don't buy there wiring kit it's comparable to house wire(very stiff) and the pulley will be coated in about 10layers of paint that have to be removed before install or it smokes your belt instantly! other then that it's a good alt.
