Default Upgrading My Alternator

lol i know dude , but theres 2 ways to adjust power , by intensifing the field , like the regulator does , or spin it faster ,which it does also,alt do output more as rpm is increased , i was being sarcastic , <IMG src=smileys/smiley1.gif border="0">, higher output alts have more windings usually to make it stronger. the reg actually limits current to keep the voltage at bay .

Default Upgrading My Alternator



I cant find the info i once had (i recently reformatted my pc) but theres a box you can buy its an adjustable regulator.From i gathered from the literature i read on it it was being used on a 100 amp alternator like mine and they were actually able to adjust the alternator to get enough power to actually melt a battery down.</P>


Do a search on it i cant find the info i had but theyre out there and always a good mod to have reguardless of other mods.</P>
