  1. 8 more business days to save at least $100 on your new high output alternator! (865)522-6166 ext. 201 or [email protected] 8:30am to 5:30pm Eastern time Monday through Friday
  2. We will get the 2.4l unit out to you as soon as that v-6 unit is here. Shouldn't take long, you are close.
  3. As stated in the SMD thread, ship it back to us and include a copy of the shipping receipt for reimbursement. We will cover standard ground return shipping for you.
  4. 99% that you got a v-6 unit there! It must have been mis-boxed as a 2.4l unit. Send it back and I will get you the 2.4l unit ASAP. Sorry! -Eric
  5. And if you step up to a 1500w amp you will still have enough power. Add an AGM battery under the hood and you are good to go.
  6. We now have XS Power Cable IN STOCK and ready to ship! XS FLEX Pure Tinned Copper (Blue or Clear) 50' spool or by the foot. XP FLEX CCA (Red or Black) 50' spool or by the foot. Special introductory pricing too low to print! To order email [email protected] or call (865)522-6166 ext 201. Thank you, Eric.
  7. Can't go any lower on the price, they are already $100 off each unit from retail. For multiples I can give a break on the external regulator conversion you will need.
  8. Still taking orders for these units! Powdercoat, external regulation, clutch pulleys all available too!
  9. Oh I might, I was thinking I might tackle the install myself.... Help with it will be needed, installing alt and belt... Is your car a 2.4l? If so it's an easy install, right up front and on top.
  10. Gifts are good, if you have any questions about this gift give me a call or email. Eric.
  11. Okay, I think I get the 96 poles, it's the number of stator wire groups inline with the axis of the alternator?... The reason I ask about the power requirement is I swapped out the CS130 alt out of my olds, in my sig, for a AD244. I cut off the original connector for the CS130 alt and put a AD244 connector with a 5 watt 85 ohm resistor on the "L" terminal. Will this new alternator of yours work in this application? Right on the pole count. If you are running an AD244 case like on the F/S GM trucks this will bolt in place. The only concern would be the output stud pointing UP rather than out the back, otherwise it's the same mounting.
  12. I don't have one for the Caliber SXT at this time. This is one that we plan on sorting out over the winter if time allows.
  13. You are right, the 6-phase is basically 2 stators in one, if I recall they are phased 6.5 degrees off from the other. The pole count is the number of passes through the stack. Your typical 32 pole unit is more common, these are the same pole count as the new Denso Hairpin design. Due to the high pole count, 6-phase design and the efficiency of the unit the load on the engine is typically less than the same output on your more traditional designs.
  14. It's conventional wire, but it's a 6-phase, 96 pole unit. Same thinking as the Denso Hairpin, just using round wire and a lot of it.
  15. GM OWNERS! MechMan is now offering our 300a+ unit for GM applications. This is available as a direct bolt-in for your GM trucks and some GM cars without PCM controlled regulation.

  17. Nice videos Mark! I knew it was going to be a tight install, there isn't much room in there. It's worth the work for the increased amperage.
