    Hi, I recently bought a 270 XP for a Golf tdi, direct from Mechman. It was for a friend of mine. He runs 2 big amps : an MTX te4000 and a Lanzar opti 4x250, with 4 Optima blue batts. The problem is the voltage : too high. It stays above 15v whatever he tries, giving him much problem with the car. After some electronic checkings, some error messages told him : too much voltage ! The alternator is internally regulated, so he can't just buy an external regulator. What can he do ? Now he had to disconnect the alt to drive safely, but he can't do that for too long. I think he is ok to send the alt back to Mechman because he can't do nothing with it. He is, of course, really d…

    My mechman 260 is getting blazingly hot, is this normal? Thinking its a ground issue, I have it attached to a battery which is attached to the motor. Any ideas?

    I've been having issues with the PCM messing with my voltage, so I spoke with Josh Over at mechman and he told me to see what happens when I disconnect it.. this is what happens.. this is something he has NEVER seen. As I say in the video it is not a self exciting alternator. It is a brand new 320a alt.

    I posted this elsewhere and was told by many that Mechman is the place that I would find the best answer. I typically would not ask another company for advice concernering some company's product but since I can't get an an answer from them... why not... I have some questions concerning a high output alternator and figured there's no better place on the internet to find a good answer to my problem. I own a 2002 Tahoe, and am in the process of trying to set up dual alternators. The alternator I ended up with is manufactured by Mean Green Industries. I know nothing about this alternator. The website tells me very little useful information about it. When I attempt to contac…

    I have a 270a Mechman that I purchased this spring. Not a month after I bought it it had charging issues and was repaired under warranty. Well now I have another problem and not sure where the problem is. My system is NOT installed right now and hasn't been since the repair of this alt. I have two 3yr old Redtops under the hood now. The batteries rest at 12.6 with the truck off and hold that way. When the truck truck is at idle my voltage is at 12.9. As all. As I give throttle is goes to 13.6 but doesn't go higher. When I come to a red light it's back at 12.8-13.0. Again No radio at all. I'm thinking it has to be the alt again but I have two new xs3400's that could go in …

    I have a batt bank, 2 hc2400's and a hc1800 Bought a 200 amp power bastard alt that is a direct fit for my 02 taurus It spiked to 16+ volts when i hit the gas lights got real bright then the voltage regulator kicked in and it settled back to 14.5 v. Sent ot back they put in a new regulator same problem. Bought a HO rebuild kit for my stock alt, same problem. Went to a local mechanic and he said there is no way to solve the slow regulator issue I'll buy a mechman if they can solve this issue. I also need a direct fit due to space restraints Why is my HO alt having these issues.
