I can see why that can be a limiting factor. Theres obviously twice the surface area. But what are other limiting factors to adding a huge H/O alt? Also, will adding a H/O alt or a multiple setup strain the engine? Make it work harder, and in return, more engine noise and less MPG? Work harder, yes, less MPG, yes. More engine noise... not really but maybe a little because the car will push more fuel in and adjust the timing. But remember it takes power to make power. For example, on my 270XP if i dont play my stereo I get 25-28MPG. If I get on it the whole way home from work I will see 19-22MPG.

Hey man it's no problem. We all make mistakes. No one is perfect. Jared pm me your phone number.

If you wish to talk about the 390 further simply email me at [email protected] the 380sp is not an hairpin design (hp and xp) are. Anyways I'm on my iPhone getting blood work done so I will chime in here and explain some more things when I get on my computer. As for the op, shoot me an email and I will take care of you

Weird, I have no issue with the coupon code at all. I've had also plenty of people put orders in today that have had it go through.

We actually do have the 390XPs available for this vehicle just don't have them up on the website yet. The 320HPs will stay as is; We are just having a hard time keeping them in stock. That should be fixed soon though as we have a big shipment coming in hopefully within the next month or so. The 380s are the SP series alternator line and while they are killer alternators, the 390s walk up and down on them for idle output. We're talking 165+ amps at idle on the 390XP while the 380s are about 135-140. The pricing on those is still the same just like on all the other vehicles. Yes they are expensive. Are they worth the money? Absolutely. Not to mention instead of having a HUGE ripple current on a 350+ amp alternator due to how much power they put out (30+) you can expect 7-10 on a 390XP. Say hello to no engine noise from a high output alternator Sorry about the delayed response.

On our systems it Shows the correct fitment that you chose. It's just stuck on the front end. I almost have the issue fixed for the front end though.

Okay so after reading this post I believe i know what's causing the incorrect name to appear on the product. Basically we have a ton of products so I've been working on speeding the page load times on the site up. I actually increased them by about 150% if not more. Basically I have a caching system in place that remember what to show the visitor without having to dynamically recalculate everything each page load. So when someone visited lets say a dodge ram for the year 2000 that year's instance was cached and when you went to do your actual product with a different year make model it showed the previous persons vehicle that fits the same alternator. I will have to reprogram some of my caching logic this week. Thanks for bringing this bug to my attention.

Eric, Put it up on the test bench and she works just fine. We're gonna look at the harness to see if that was the root cause. I'll give you more of an update tomorrow.

Not saying the mods messed up the alternator, just to know what we need to fix in the housing to get it to fit is all

Eric, if you would send it back so we can take a look at it that would be great. This will also give us the opportunity to look at the modifications you had to do as well... let us know.

That's correct it was easier to fit through the firewall and I didn't have time to do a second run. Got to remember though I only have a single 270 amp XP alternator..

We were open, Stan is just out of the office for meetings all week. I will ship it to texas though for you. I was trying to juggle shipping, answering phones and dealing with walk in customers today so i wasn't in the office much as I would've liked to be. I apologize but we will get it out for you.

Well, maybe because we had two orders for the same vehicle and engine within a day of each other? Just saying..... As for the OP, I just spoke to him on the phone about the situation.

Maybe im getting names mixed up, whats your name?

Might also add I don't have nearly as much drop front to back..

Well I'm running 13kw off a single run of 0 of pos and neg so I would trace down that problem to see where you're losing voltage.

Just saw about the front to back voltage drop, you must have a bad ground or something, double check!

Honestly, not really. The 15v regulator under full load on my car reaches full output at 14-14.3v.. so that little bit of a difference you'll never hear audible.

Read my post up above for the rough idle ^^

1 XS D2700 in the front 2 Odyssey PC2250s in the back (http://www.odysseybatteries.com/battery/pc2250.htm) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/102298/Photo%20Apr%2010%2C%2011%2009%2013%20PM.jpg

I did. look again. That was right as I was leaving the parking lot so I didn't really give it time to recover but whatever. Maybe I'll make one on the freeway tomorrow.

Okay, So in this video, yes my voltage goes low, but im also running FOUR T2500-1bdCPs at full tilt... So voltage drop is expected on a 270 amp alternator.... nonetheless it's not bad at all for how much power I'm running. I don't really consider 12.8 bad voltage.. at idle with this much power to be honest...

Harvey, In the midst of getting all the hondas out your regulator upgrade was overlooked on accident. The honda regulators do really well but are set a little bit lower. If voltage becomes an issue, I'll issue you a call tag and get the alternator right back out to you as soon as possible. I do apologize about this however, but let me know how the voltage is holding up.

Harvey, you may need to tighten that alternator down more.. or you may need to jump a belt size or two down. If you put a socket into the pulley nut and tighten the bolt with the car off and if your belt moves with your alternator you're good on belt tension, if it stays stationary and the pulley moves it's too loose.
