RXFORD Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Is it spinning fast enough to throw little electric people where they need to go? ie; pulley sizing correct for idle speed of crank pulley diam? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, just a bulb It worked in the previous setup with the China bosch , the light comes on and goes off as soon as I start it. Comes on if you disconnect the sense wire 3 hours ago, mjrstar said: I wonder if it's a winding issue which is only apparent when belt tension is applied. I'm assuming the bench test is driven directly on the front.. Test bench has a belt drive, it's a pretty cool bit of gear, it's huge 3 hours ago, RXFORD said: Is it spinning fast enough to throw little electric people where they need to go? ie; pulley sizing correct for idle speed of crank pulley diam? This has crossed my mind as the crank pulley is smaller than a normal sb mopar , it's off a marine engine. It is the same as it was with the previous alternator though. A big rev does not change it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hood Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 I had regulator issues on a newish alternator on my hilux recently. Alternator was just over a year old, and I only managed about 10tho Kms on it, and unfortunately out of warranty. I took it to Lance @ Autowire who pulled it apart and the regulator failed on it. Turns out the alternator itself was ok but the cheap Chinese regulator let go. He sourced and fitted quality genuine denso unit and it was good to go 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNAMUCK Posted Tuesday at 18:07 Author Share Posted Tuesday at 18:07 Do you have a pair of front runner tyres? I once asked on a forum filled with clever people , " how fast do you need to go before you need front runners? They answer was, youre thinking back to front. Its not how fast do you go before you need them, they help you to go faster. /every bit helps. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted Tuesday at 22:23 Share Posted Tuesday at 22:23 Probably should have them, because of bias ply Hoosiers on the back, but when those are worn out I might try some drag radials , so would need a radial on the front 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted Wednesday at 02:53 Share Posted Wednesday at 02:53 Ahh ive always wondered what the point of those drag specific front tyres was. (For rwd) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cletus Posted Wednesday at 08:17 Share Posted Wednesday at 08:17 Yeah it's not great to mix radials and bias ply tyres, it can make for some interesting handling Nzdra rule book says 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igor Posted Wednesday at 08:51 Share Posted Wednesday at 08:51 I ran a Mini 1275GT with 12" radials on the front and 10" crossplies on the rear for a while when I young and silly, and too broke to buy two more radials. Never drove it fast thouigh cos it felt too weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
