Hi all I'm doing a production run of alternator mounting kits to fit 140a alternators to RB engines

The kit will have mounting brackets and hardware and new pulley

The alternators I'm using also plug straight into the original wiring.

The alternators can be supplied or you can get them yourself from oex $190

Holden $250 or Bosch for 250-300

Want to get a idea how meny people would be interested as all up

Alternator with kit will be under 500.

But the more interest I get the more I make the cheaper I case offer them to everyone.

Thanks

Interested! That being said, what is the main advantage and disadvantage? I assume this is a higher current than the standard alternator (90, 120?), and that you can power electrics / charge the battery better at slight expense of engine power?

  • Like 1

Yeah standard alts are 80A and when running for example walbro 460 (can do 30A per pump) and electric power steering (Astra pump can do 80A) you won't have any power left for engine/lights etc

Bad enough with direct injection fuel rails that can shoot fluid through skin like a bullet

Like a liquid bullet with no gun powder.? Just so I am the same page,

Advantages of my setup is 140a output
Oem alternator made in Japan for Holden Australia
Local warranty.
Second hand alternators can be bought from wrecker for $50
New from Holden $250

Ard are expensive and try getting warranty if something goes wrong

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
