    Bought a Denso alternator from alternatorparts.com. It's a 220 amp unit part number N1ERIF220. I need a small v-belt pulley and nut for it. The pulley I have on it is slightly bigger than the serpintine one that came with it.

    Since I am the one who heads up product development here at DC Power, I would like to get some input from the members here about products you guys are looking for that we may/may not already have.. I think we are more known as a "high priced" manufacturer because that's what our specialty is, building the biggest, baddest, meanest alternators you can get.. However, we also have a lot of other things we can do, we just dont get asked alot for them. Not only that, I think most people automatically assume that "I need a 200 amp alternator" when they dont. My goal is to get a lot of input from the community here about what is MOST important to you for charging system needs. O…

  11. I Accidentally left my carputer on last night. When i started my car the XP wasn't making my engine happy charging the batteries up at full load. Anyways, this is what happens when the 270XP loads down a 4 cylinder's engine at idle. It takes 20 seconds for the computer to actually realize what's going on and adjust for the load compensation. The alternator in this car idles at 2,000 alternator RPMs. 500 alternator RPMS LESS than the competition. It's rated to do 180 amps or so at this RPM. It takes power to make power. This proves it.

    Since me and Kyle have the same car.. we've known about this for a while... hehe. this summer, i'm goin at it again and need to know which route i am going to take due to timeframe.. I will need my new alt upgrade sometime this summer... Preferrably within the next 2-3 months to be honest. For that timeframe, have u guys been able to figure out, or be able to test the dual 320HPs or is that out of the question? I know the 270xp is in play.. and i know the 390xp is as well.. So, of the 3, which am i looking at for best option this summer? And you know me.. i run more power than what i can fit in this car...lol

    Just wondering why the price point between the 270 Amp SP and 250 Amp XP is so large. I don't understand why I would pay $120 more for the same output at idle and 20 amps LESS at max. I know the XP has some different internals, but is it really worth the extra change?

    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?
