[QUOTE="All_Logix, post: 7617590, member: 628274"] Don't waste your money bud, the 8th civic has a sophisticated ELD (electronic load detection) circuit and will shut the alt off if it THINKS it has enough power to run all of the electronics. It is built into the ECU for all American models, so your options are either...1. try and be super efficient with the big 3 and replacing the battery with a good one. 2.) Bypass the ELD, I wouldnt attempt this without an in depth understanding of digital circuitry and 12v technologies. OR 3.) replace the ECU with a JDM ECU import for around 700-1000 dollars. Sorry for the bad new my friend I understand your situation all to well [/QUOTE]
