Excessive Amperage Group Buy

First of all, I would like to take the opportunity to apologize on this forum and through this group buy thread to Nathan. He built a 200 amp alternator for my 2002 Mazda Protege' 5 and it never worked. I became quite disgruntled of course and did not make positive recommendations on this forum because I thought that the alternator did not work because of something on Nathan's side. It turns out that I was completely wrong. For some reason the "brilliant" freaking engineers at Mazda thought that it would be cute to 1) require a two part voltage regulator (the first obstacle) and 2) to basically hard code on the ECU the expected voltage and amperage output of the alternator. Even if Nathan figured out the two part voltage regulator which I'm sure he could, there was no way he could forsee such an idiotic ECU setting. My sincere apologies go to Nathan and his company. Nathan, if you think you can help me trick the ECU then I am willing to give it another try??

Brandon !! Hey man. What the F#@% !!! - Dont you love those engineers...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/furious.gif.fc81ca146dbff91fede3ed290dbc4f4c.gif ? I need to find a way to bypass the ECU on those cars then ! I still have the 2 alternators that I built for you sitting here ! Those engineers wound up costing me about $700 on your alternators (not counting those who wont buy from me because of you ragging on me) - no hard feelings about that though. I knew the alternators were charging on the bench tester - they make a special plug to bypass the secondary regulator to test them on the bench testers. I am glad to hear It was not my fault !!! Thank you for this post ! I really appreciate this Brandon !........

So far we have one who has paid in the group buy. I have several who says they are in so I am sure we will have the 10 with no problems ! I am listing the buyers on page one of this post, post #4 so everyone can keep up with how many we have.
