let's hope it works. autozone can test the amps right?

sweet...let us know how it goes....optima and big 3 didn't resolve dimming headlights.

His feedback looks great. I think you should be pretty happy with it. Good find on these, kind of hard to find.

My alternator on my Camry decided to take a dump tonight.

Have you installed this? And if so, how is it?

[Eye8Pussies]

wow...160amps

haha...if you push this to the max, your car's going to sound great, but probably roll backwards down a hill.....


decent price too!

ya does sound nice

Having questions about it though. We'll let y'all know the outcome.

[V6LE_CAMRY]

have you installed it yet?

ive installed it and it works better than stock. lights are much brighter and puts out 15.0-15.2ish volts at around 1200 rpm. when idle (~750 rpm) it reads kinda low voltage though, like straggling 13 volts, but i guess thats just cause HO alts dont read too well at low rpms.

had it load tested at Auto Electric Systems (AES) and the guy told me it looked like it would max around 82 amps though...but amps only put out as much amps as is needed right?

how would i get it to read 160 amps or atleast 100 amps?

ive emailed the seller and he said hed send me another one on monday and provide the stamps for me to mail this one back, so iono

AES told me they could make me a 130 amp for $279.

sounds like there's something wrong with it then

yes, alternators only put out as much as is drawn, but that's the point of getting it load tested so it can find out how far it can go when needed

and that sounds like a good seller to be willing to full responsiblity for his products

^maybe my system/car was only drawing 80 or so amps when i tested it?

[Tercel GTS]

I'd get a second opinion at another shop just to be sure.

just got the second alt the seller sent to me today. put it on and had it load tested at a different shop and it put out a little over 100 amps at 2000 rpm

not the 160 amps the site says its capable of but good enough for me! plus 160 amps out of this thing is a little farfetched anyway for its size.
