DC Power Engineering

Hi I would like to get an estimate on how much would it cost to make a 300-320 amp alternator for my 2008 BMW 328i sedan.

The purpose of this thread is to discuss the design flaw of the 250XP alternator case. This thread is NOT to BASH on DC Power so DO NOT use it to do so. I am here to discuss ONLY fact's, and help improve on design quailty. The mounting ear has broke twice on my 250XP alternator, in under a year. This is installed on a 2.3L 4 cyl equipped 99' honda Accord. The case is weak due to not enough material left around the mounting ears and the bracket allowing too much movement. From what I understand DC Power will be redesigning the case and leaving more material. I will post pics of the new one if Rob does not. If this happens again I would hope for a bracket redesign also.…

Does dc make anything for 2009 nissan murano? or if not a regular item can it be a special order?

i might be getting a 2005 ford ranger 4.0 and i want to make sure i can get a high output alt for it before i do buy it, on DC's website it doesn't even have a listing for a 05 ranger but i figured i would ask you guys here if there are any options, preferably a DC alt, im looking for the highest amperage i can get, which going by there normal alts would be like 250-270 amps. thanks guys!

Hello I have a 2007 Mazda 3. It is a 4 cylinder 2.0 liter engine. I will be running an saz-2500d and another speaker amp so probably 2800 watts total just in car audio. I just want an alt that can support that without spending too much money. Hopefully best bang for my buck under 400$?

Checked the DC Power site but do not see an option for this vehicle and was wondering what may be my selection. 2002 Isuzu Rodeo 2WD 3.2 V6 Probly no room for a 2nd alt so I will probly need something with some hump. Need your recomendations and my options. If you need furthur info will be glad to provide it. Thanks!

Hi I need to order a 270xp for a 1996 Infiniti I30. My ticket number for my price inquiry is SLI-594-11958. I'd like to place this order asap. Thanks again - Rick

So i finally put in my order for dual 270 xp's and the bracket. The two T4000's and the T1000.4 are dieing for the power. Luckily I'll be in town to pick it up , so I'll let you guys know how it turns out.

Hey everyone i am new to car audio and am planning on doing something big. Well first I was planning on getting a 250 amp alt with 2 yellow top batteries supplying power to 2 audio q 2200 amps connected to 2 12 fi btls . My question is that is there anything i need to be worried about? Because i was wondering if different parts of my car for example the dash lights or head light are being supplied with excess power? Is there some sort of regulater that controls the flow of current to the different appliances and delivers what is needed? THANKS! your help is highly appreciated

How much of a difference and what kind of benefits will I get by running a 15.1 voltage regulator on a 270xp? I just got my 270xp last Friday and it was suppose to have this upgrade regulator in it but after I installed the alt I notice that my voltage is only at 14.3. So I think they forgot to upgrade to the 15.1 regulator.

Rob told me a while back that i need to pay little extra to have a true 18v regulator installed on my alt. How much is it for starters and is it still internal i hope? 2nd, for safety sake, i'll have 6 25a stepdowns in the car to run it on 12v still.. But, if i purchase the VCM, can i still safely step the regulator down to ~15v if i ever had to bypass the stepdowns?

What brand of belt do you guys recommend using with the 270 xp? I put on a new gates belt and i have slipping on a cold start (less than a second). When the engine is warm it doesn't slip. I have tightened the belt up a few times...seems to help a first but is this because the belt is new and still stretching?

Rob & Kyle, What is the status on the 270xp? I have one on order since January for a 99 Honda accord 2.3 ltr.,4 cyclinder. I talked to Stan last week and he told me that it might ship by week's end. Are we close to shipping? Please give me an update. Thanks...

Watching "Inside west coast customs" earlier and they installed a DC power alternator on the main build they were working on, it was a Baja Chase truck for "OX" of metal mulisha. Not sure if it was mentioned before, but i thought it was cool.

I don't think you have gotten the last two PM's I have sent you. Can you tell me the last one you have? Thanks!

ok so i got a dual alt bracket from dc power with my stock alternator on the stock location and my dc power alt on the bracket. stock alt charges my stock electrical and DC Power alt charges my sub amp (sounddigital 12k) i would like to use 16v batterys. that means my alt need to charge @ 18volts rigth ? what do i need to do to my alternator in order to do this?///voltage regulator? or is it even possible?... idk... please help btw my truck its a 05 f150 5.4l engine.

Hey DC! Have ya'll ever made an alternator for my car? If so, can you give me the options I have? I'm looking for a little over 90 amps at idle, and maybe if anything, 150 at full output if possible Thanks! P.S. Do you think you can make a Voltage regulator for it? Thanks again!

Hey, I recently sent in my alternator to be sold by DC... Seeing how they sell like crazy, anyways I sent my alt I believe two weeks ago before MECA, and Rob said he recidved it, he said it was basicly BNIB. I have not been able to get into contact with Rob Nor Kyle, this is a new experience with DC, typically their customer service is fantastic to say the least. My name is Julian smith and the number will be an (816)830-XXX number calling from Missouri. Whenever you guys can give me an update or a call thatd be great. Thanks a lot guys. (and I don't want people posting on here who aren't Affiliated with DC Unless they Are mods, I don't want some nonsense going on, thank…

Hi.I was just wondering if DC made HO alternators for a 2001 Mitsubishi Galant.Not sure exactly what engine but I know its a 4 cylander.Thanks.

I apologize if this has been answered. I did a search and didnt exactly find the answer im looking for. What is the differences here? For my specific vehicle (1997 chev tahoe 5.7) there is the 270 XP and 270 SP, only difference i see is 10 amps at idle difference, with about a $50 difference in price. Can anyone clarify this for me please?

Hi im looking for all the possible options of alternators for a 1991 Corolla 1.6L 4AFE engine. Also wanted to know if you make custom alts. I need at least 130amps at idle and not less than 240amps at full output, can it be done? Thanks. And quotes please shipped to 00744.

Our New Lathe... More pics and vid coming soon.

How do I run dual alternators in my truck? The engine is a 2.8l V6 out of a 92 S-10. I want both alternators running everything, not one my truck and one my back battery bank/system. Thanks, Dom

I received my alts,and bracket. But I am missing the pig tails and instructions to wire the alts......Also are all the alts set to 18v.
