POWER/ALTERNATOR:

my old 270 mechman alternator

It did 165 amps by 700 rpm engine speed, full output by 1800 rpm engine speed.

0621001803.jpg

0621001803a.jpg

THE CASING'S MOUNTING HOLES DIDN'T FIT =/

stock 160 alternator's measurements

0625001548.jpg

270 mechman alt

0625001546.jpg

matthew logan from mechman was nice enough to modify one of my extra stock alternator that i had

for the malibu,so it can be a direct fit for sure

my new one

it does over 300 amps by 1800 rpm, with over 170 amps at 700 rpm engine speed.

0806001145.jpg

they tested it in the dyno and it did 319 amps at 1800 rpm engine speed

0806001147.jpg

0806002032.jpg

The most unique part about it, is the fan cooled, external rectifier.This takes all the heat produced by the rectifier, and mounts it remotely, away from the windings of the alternator.This way, the air is not pre-heated before it gets to the windings, so the windings stay cooler, cool down faster.Also, because the rectifier has constant air flow across it at all engine speeds, (courtesy of an electric fan inside the rectifier) it is almost impossible to overheat it.(overheating is a common problem on 300+ amp alternators)

0806001142.jpg

0806001143.jpg

The bus bar on the rectifier makes it easy to hook up huge positive and negative cable runs to the battery(s)
