Anyway, on to the remainder of the pics....
A kind of crappy picture of the windings. I wanted to get a picture with the case opened, but the guy put it back together before I had a chance. What I wanted to show was that it has 3 sets of 4 windings as opposed to the stock one which has 3 sets of 2 windings. Much more heavy duty
A (kind of crappy) shot of the regulator and such. Just to give you an idea of what it looks like inside. As you can see we used a Honda regulator, which I believe was pulled from an Accord.
A shot of the final fitting of the alternator. In this pic you can see the bushing that was used to hold the alternator in place (on the left). You can also see where the OEM plug goes in to the alternator.
Another shot from the front. Again you can see the bushing, as well as the new belt that we had to pick up as the stock one was too short.
0 gauge wire was installed between the alternator and battery to supplement the now too small stock wire. Both wires were installed, so the stock one isn't left hanging. The black boot looks ugly in this pic, but we trimmed it up and it fits real nice now.
A final shot of everything all wired up. As you can see we just ran the 0 gauge along the front and into the battery. I prefer blue wire, but we had to use what we had available
. Once I get some loom on there you won't be able to tell the difference anyway.
And that's it!
We didn't have a load tester handy today to test the output, but playing a sine wave through my system we got it to pull 157a. I completely expect it to produce 180a under full load though, probably be even a bit more.
