Last Fiero build log

No, but I don't think they're that bad, haha.
Also, the back didn't sag too much with all that weight. Each battery was 58 pounds, so with my m4a there will be over 300 pounds in the back trunk.

Free lowering kit

Lmao at the lowering kit. And that thing wasn't even noticeably lower after the batts went in. I was shocked (no pun intended haha) since my car squats hard enough to need correction with only a d3100, dc 5k, and a lone xl 12...

Still has bounce too, haha

So you're going to go through with the build? Woot. Still don't see how you could possibly fit anything in that tiny car. The car looks like a back to the future type car.

Yep, still going through with it. Was only going to sell my gear, so I lost less money when I upgraded.

I've got it all planned out. Still a difficult install. The Delorean is what's in Back to the Future.

those alts under load WILL stall your engine, probably even with your redic idle RPM.

I have a 270 & 390 on a v6 in my mini van and they will drop RPM to 200 or less under full load.

Run 1 alt off the ecu, and the other 2 off a toggle switch so they're only on when needed.

They'll always be needed, because I'm always playing my system while driving my car

I have to leave for work in 10 minutes, but I could take a pic at night some time. That would be cool! If you want to PM me your number, I could get in touch with you some other time

I can take a pic later, but it barely squats at all. Ask @av83;

If you're drawing enough while driving to need all three 320amp alts engaged you're an absolute beast lol.

Took my car in to the shop on Friday. Turns out I'll only be able to fit one more alternator, not two //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Cut a hole thru the hood and cover it up with fiberglass //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif youll have enough room then.

Do it like the old school large super chargers that come out the hood

Those are different. There are engine components between my serpentine belt and the hood/trunk lid. Really can't fit any more alternators. This second one is going to be a real bitch, because the space is so hard to get to.
