can you raise the voltage at the regulator?? or ECM??
 
well im not impressed with 13.5 - 13.9v im lookin for 14.5 -15 alot more potential energy!! anyone know any tricks!! :coolio:

There's plug-in solutions to modify the voltage output of the alternator... I don't remember where, but I've seen them before.

Run heavier wire between your alternator and battery.

13.5 seems weak even for stock. Stock mine always put out 14.3-14.7, well it had a napa reman alt but it was just a stock replacement.

overdrive pulley. contact ryanfromohio he can get you in contact with a guy that sells them.

I've had one for a while, and its great.

BUT, everything in the car runs on 12V... using 13.5 or 14.8 really doesn't make a big difference

scott192 11-10-2010 01:38 PM

a .5 volt difference is HUGE when it comes to car audio alot more potential energy and alot less likely for my amp to go into protect mode thats why im lookin to raise the voltage

I think the output voltage varies based on the state of charge in the battery. Forcing a higher voltage may cook your battery.

it has more to do with the temp of it and im trying to figure something out to cool it better cause you could cook an egg on that sucker and yes i have ran bigger wire that did a whole lot of nothing lol need a H/O alt to see any gains from a bigger wire... adding a second batt seemed to help the voltage from dropping to low but id still like the extra juice!

Deka 9a31 or Kinetik HC1800.

Selling both currently. Stock alternator, two runs of 2/0 welding cable to rear, 2/0 welding cable for big three. I am running 2.5-3k and dropping to 13.8ish at idle, never below 14.xx while driving. :) These batts must be magical? lol

I do believe that it drops the voltage that the voltage regulator sees, so it thinks it has to put out more.

This is a plug and play piece. I just bought one and installed it because I was having voltage drops after installing a UDP. As soon as I started the car I got a 1.0v and a little higher increase with it plugged in. It took me like 30 seconds at most to install this too.

Ttop191 11-29-2010 06:49 PM

So it must just be a plug and play resistor to block whats going to the sensor?

Just reviewed the website and I think it's a great idea!

i have one of those boosters but i took it out because it actually works and my voltage was around 15 and didnt want to damage anything

how much u want for it?

Gr1m 12-01-2010 12:26 PM

i believe i have the stage 2 one, i have to check if its still in my toolbox
