    Eric, I know exactly how to fix this, but your going to have to give me some time to fab it up. Basically we're just going to hang a backside idler pulley on the bottom alternator pivot bolt between t

  • Yes.

I thought I read that right ... Thanks for clearing that up edub... :fing34:

:) awesome, I am excited as I plan to order my alt tomorrow morning!! Once my darn paycheck clears my account.. ugh.. morning please get here faster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My voltage = 12.0... slowly dying alt.

P.S. Does in stock on the DC site mean it is actually there and basically ready to be shipped that day/next day?.. or does that just mean you have the ability to make them sometime... like idk nvm, I cant explain it. I just hope in stock means it ships out in 1-2 days.. cuz my stock alt is on its last leg :(

My turn, Kyle, Rob, I have the same engine as edouble, I want one.

Let us verify that everything us kosher with his first :)

No problem Kyle, I've been waiting months for one that will fit, a little while longer won't be a problem.

I have this Sunday afternoon set aside for the install. It should only take me less than 30 minutes to do the install really (had stock alt off twice now). I have four different sized belts to try out as well. Obviously the stock size will be tried first.

I will keep you updated asap. If you want me to call you on Sunday PM me your cell Kyle.

Ooo that brings up a good question, I just ordered an alt from you guys like an hour ago, Should the stock belt fit the Pro alt? Or will i need to find a different size belt for it? Didn't even realise that it might need a different size than what i have.

What alt are you buying?

Because using the stock belt for my car, which is a 1998 honda civic (basically your car), is NOT an option.

Squealing, squealing ERRYWHERE!

Thankfully I'm swapping them out today, but trust me, stick with a smaller belt

So does it fit.....

Yes! I had to "adjust" a few things but it is in. Kyle I will be emailing you the details. I am uploading some videos now.....

Sweet! Awesome news. Looking forward to seeing your new voltage :P

Very nice, glad to hear everything worked out.

Here is the vid of my stock alt. Another 79 minutes and the DC Power alt video will be uploaded. I will post it tomorrow morning.

Awesome story of great customer service! Thanks for sharing it. :)

DC alt is pretty damn impressive :drink40:

Kyle obv ninja'd the vid... Just venturing to guess, I'd bet the voltage drops are from engine rpm drops, not the alternator.. Most 4 cyl cars hit a wall at some point and start to drop.. Still pretty impressive on 3Kw, at idle, and with the defrost on blast. That's where XPs are just win, win, win though... Thanks for posting those up Eric!

I ordered the Pro 210 max /100 idle alt for a 97 civic hatch

Are these made with Tiger's Blood?

Sure thing Robbie, thank you :drink40:

I wasn't watching engine RPM. But I will take note. I was planning on running a 1/0 ground from the alternator directly to the battery but I only have one 1/0 lug laying around. More 1/0 lugs are on order. Do you think this will help any or would I be wasting money?

I am typing you an email now Kyle.

Good videos. Strong alternator. But I have one thing to say. That stealth install you have, of the headunit, is great.

Where would you connect this wire to? Between alt case and steel bolt when mounted to engine? I would think the ground would be sufficient, considering the case itself is the ground, when it's bolted in, that's a pretty big piece of conductive metal it's bolted to.

lol I didn't even notice that stealth install cus I skipped around in the video but that is badass.
