Iraggi Alt doesn't put out at idle?

[kentb 10+ year member]

i got a new 240 amp amputator series that is supposed to do 165 amps on idle.

my voltage drops down(mid 13v idle) worse at idle compared to my stock alt(130 amps)(high 14v idle).

my ex only does 600 at idle.

do you guys know how many rpms the idle rating on the iraggi is?

both alt does more or less 15v @ 1.2k+ rpm

im using MLA module btw.

if your car is ideling lower than when the alt puts out try changing the alt pulley for a smaller one

id say go to auto zone and test the alternator. if it needs replacing replace it, it could be the regulator. go check it out! sometimes HO alts fail!

This is a common issue with HO alts. They require a higher internal (within the alt) RPM than a stock before they can start giving power to your system. I'd contact Iraggi about replacing the current pulley on your HO alt with a smaller one to give the alt a higher internal RPM. Hopefully he can make one small enough to run at your car's idle RPM.

If not, another option to look at is getting the smallest pulley you can and then increase your car's idle to the point where the alt will kick on. If you don't sit in traffic much you won't see a big difference in your MPG.

its already came with a smaller pulley.

problem is, iraggi doesn't even reply.
