hehe yes i got the idea from you.... thanks drew and thanks to sean here... he helped me figure out the prob with the alt.... thanks sean

it was a ho alt... mechman 220a... well ive been talking to them... finally figured out the prob.... they sent the alt with a smaller pulley than the stock one.... well since im revving the engine up to 8K the alt cant handle it.... "Our units are not designed for that kind of RPM with the pulley we send it out with. Our units are pullied for the stock RPM redline that your vehicle came with from the factory, which is significantly lower than 8,000 rpm. If you are running that kind of RPM, you will need to run a larger pulley on the alternator to slow it down. Keep in mind, that this will dramatically reduce idle output. We will need to know the first and last name that you used when you purchased the unit, and also the idle speed of your engine and the diameter of your crankshaft pulley. Once we have all that, I can issue you an RGA with the details written on it so we can modify the unit for how you are using it. "

got it all sealed off today.... still gonna use some expanding foam in some areas... but turned out pretty good i would say... passanger side: driver side:

lol when u switch to zcons

well found out my alt died so now i have to wait for that to get fixed.... braced the roof yesterday... I plan to use some expanding foam as well to help seal it off more.... started sealing off the sides yesterday ... but ran out of 2x4s.... i went and picked some more up today... and im off tomorrow so ill be working on it some more then: i need to cut off a little bit of the wood off on the bottom so the 2x4s sit more flush with the sides of the wall....

thats cute you guys went out and took vids together !! nice vids dani

Nice vids

nice find !

Nice hair trick when u gonna hit that 150

dont really have a thread about the turbo build... i have lots of pics lol... i guess i can start a thread in the off topic showing the build... this isnt my first turbo build on this car.... ive been through a couple of setups already lol...

im having problems with the alternator i bought from you guys......its a 220a alt for a 91 civic..... ok well when i first installed the alt, it had a whining noise to it... sounded like a s/c spoolin up after about 3k rpms... and the whining got louder...so loud it was louder than my turbo (no it wasnt the belt squealing lol).... well the alt finally died and stopped charging.....so i sent it back to you guys to repair.... well when i got it back and installed it... it was still making the same whining noise....but atleast charging..... well after about a month now it died again....doesnt charge at all......i was wondering if i could send this back to you again and have you fix it or if possible make me a new one.. ive known mechman to be a reputable company.... but having this alt die twice now is kinda sucky lol....

look up xs power d3100 batts

are those the original baskets ?? terminals look weird on them ...

ok thanks. haha thanks, i didnt mount them myself though... my dad helped me.

its a unibody car like mine.... No frame. Need full lenth runs from the frint. Not to frame. from the front ?? show me where you grounded your batts ?

hehe get a hatchback very nice drew...

well those spots were perfect cause it has the threaded holes already...ill check closer to the frame but theres not really any good spots i already looked... its pretty funny though i disconnected the grounds from the body so it was just the copper bars on the batts negatives.... and the car still started lol... i think the bus bars themselves were acting as a ground lol.... more power wire ? where lol? the alt wouldnt fit any more wires on it.... hopefully will have the amp hooked up soon

thanks yes here ya go alt hooked up with 4/0... there was no way i could fit 2 4/0 on the alts posts... they are way to short... i barely got 1 4/0 on the positive.... 4/0 runs ran thru the firewall and loomed dont make fun of the wire mess ^^^^.... thats what happens when u do a wire tuck to the engine bay... have to find spots for all the wires so under the dash worked lol.... right now its just laying on the floor.... dont think im gonna hide the wires either... this way if i ever need to get to them i can easily... this is a project car anyways lol.... piece for the cars electrical: going back to the wall... on the left of the wire there is spots in the body where i can ziptie the wires too... ill do that once i get further along... havent cleaned up the buss bars yet... we kinda just hurried through this to get the car running again so i could get to work on time lol.... ground 1: heres wheres ground 2 will go: ground 3: heres where ground 4 will go: ooo yaaa:

exactly what i usually do.... their are bolts all over the body... just find one and sand down the paint lol 4th order looks great!

ive already been in 3 roll overs and im only 22 lol..... wheres the pics of the dead bodies

nice find !!

wow a actual shop did that work lol... glad i do all my work myself

get er done !

will tomorrow too dark to take pics now lol
