Would it be possible to see a pic of an RB spec Mitsubishi Alternator next to the LS Mitsy one please .
I'm very interested in this kit but just curious to see if the LS one is larger in diameter compared to the Nissan supplied one .
Mine would be for an R33 spec RB25DET .
Thanks in advance , cheers Adrian .

Mr Billtech uses my kits but I am not him even though we are both named Andrew. Does that answer your question

hahaha yeah man!

For a second though you were him - top bloke, always hires out his dyno for me to tune shit boxes

I was looking at my alternator wiring last night, and saw that at least on my R34 GTT there are two small white wires from the positive coming out of the alternator going into the fuse-box to an 80A fuse there (Looks like a PAL fuse?).

This would obviously need to be replaced with larger wiring with a larger alternator, and the fuse replaced with a larger one.  Is that what others have done for their larger alternators, or have people simply been wiring it straight to the battery, and bypassing the factory fusing, etc?

What alternator are you running?
What's your voltage at peak rpm ?

I have a 90AMP circuit sports alternator, and at voltage drops a bit at mid RPM, falls to aboout 13.2V then makes it way up again to 13.8V.

I do have 2x of the pumps setup on 2x SSRs and they're controlled by PWM based on manifold pressure (to keep both fuel cool, and voltage stable-ish).

Looks like I might "want" to upgrade soon.. not need though :D 

Hey mate,
Do you do a set inc the alternator?
Price shipped to AKL NZ please(AUD)? [emoji4]
Thank you!

Sounds about right, seen voltage like that on most factory setups,
FYI
Ls1 alternator gets 14.5v to 14.2v all the way to redline.
Bit extra voltage for you pumps, coil packs heaps a lot.
And if your running A Agm battery you need 14.2 to charge it correctly.

Buy the way I like that you are using ssr [emoji106]

When upgrading alternator I do suggest adding another power cable inline as factory system as you pointed out has a fuse 80 on Gts-t and run through a larger spade terminal at the fuses boa the gets real tired, especially in a r32 Gts-t, r32 gtr runs twin terminal to spread the load.

FYI ls1 alternator p/n
GM#92058857. (140Amp)
Mitsubishi #A3TA7991 (140A)
Bosch #BXM131E. (140A)
Power master #4/58203 ( 200A)
These are the best but there are cheaper aftermarket ls1 alternator just check eBay
 

Which would say is the best(most reliable)? Also, any issue using a cheaper aftermarket one, except probably durability? Thanks

My personal car runs The Mitsubishi alternator, made in Japan, OEM on all Holden ls1 engines. All others I have seen not including powermaster but they might be, are made in China.
It's a personal choice but as my favourite saying goes. The poor man pays twice

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
