Batteries and alternators?

**claor** · 13-01-2010, 09:49 AM

Going to get to get a massive bank of batteries, not entirly sure yet, possibly absorbed power.

As for the alts, not sure, my current one is stuffed, drawing 3 amps of current when everything is turned off

so i need a new one, but cannot find a 200A + alt that will bolt directly up, to a VW transporter, and i cant be stuffed bolting up a bracket.

considering i will be rarely turning it up to ~160 for more then a few seconds its not even that necessary, it will be so efficent it will do 150's from 500 watts

Anyone have any ideas where i can find big alts that fit a 97 transporter ?
They want $480 for a genuine bosch 90A (same as stock)....

Also i wont be starting the wall till next week or so now argh!

thanks for loooking

Ask GolfLoon he would know.

Have a look at a VR6 alternator, its 120amps and its just like any other mk3 and mk4 alt. Im prity sure the transporter alt would be the same. IIRC Loon wants around $150 for a vr6 alt.

Try some merc alts, some of the bigger mercs had 150amps.

I have no idea where to get 200+amp alts, i did look but no luck. Most people sugested geting one rebuilt/rewound for 200amps but then the auto sparky said it wont charge at idel.

Any progress on the build so far?

OK, for the last few days phil from DG imports Australia and I have been working on the VW

We had a CNC machine cut the baffle out

Test build,

Used steel braces to reinforce the box as much as we could.
to be welded

Braced
