load boss alternators....?

[brent338 0]

So, looking to get some thing ordered.

gonna run an Orion 2500d, and I'm thinking that Load Boss might cut it. Its rated at 220A, and 110 @ idle. but I have heard people testing the 220's @ 238A. would that be sufficient for the orion or would I need more... cause those Iraggi's are like 3X more....

another funny thing...

from the manf. quotes...

LB, 110A @ 800rpm, 220A @ 1600rpm

built, Denso, 70A @ 800rpm, 165A @ 1600rpm......? huh.... its a 280A btw.

also, thinking about running a 1/0 knuconcept collosus, Pos. & Neg. from front batt. to amp/back batt.(or/and batcap). Is this worthwhile? I imagine its a much better ground.

OEM alt 135 amps @1800rpm.

h/o 110@idol and 200amps@1800

Running a full length ground will, in most cases carry less resistance than the body of the car.

Or, just do both...?

wouldn't hurt I suppose....

yeah, loadboss is altstart....

there damn good deal, and carry a lifetime warr.

I guess I'll just try and be a test subject.

can't find anything bad on 'em.

I just installed a 165 amp loadboss a couple of weeks ago and I really like mine. I actually made 180+ on the test sheet so I was really happy with it. Can't really beat it for the price. Imo

Agreed.

I've seen this method provide an extra 2 volts to the rear batts.

This, and the big 3 are the most cost effective methods to beef up your electrical system.

I don't have any experience with the alternator though.

Good Luck

2 whole volts or .20??????

[johnecon2001 82]

Not a chance the ground would increase electrical 2v. Maybe .2v.

thats what i was thinking... cause if adding a run of wire will take me from 14 to 16 volt ill go to the local audio shop and pay there crazy price tonight for wire!

Had a Load Boss 180Amp alt on my old Silverado, and it had a sheet that showed full output was 193 Amps at 1800RPM's...

Loved it, still have it being unused currently sitting in my garage.. for a 99-02 Silverado 4.3L v-6.

Went with X-Cessive Amperage on the Sebring since Load Boss didnt offer anything for my Sebring, but I'm going back to Load Boss for my Blazer.

I did the full run of ground on my Sebring...good thing to do if you haven't , helps a bit.

Awesome Alt's for an awesome price from Load Boss, and best thing is , they are located right in my back yard...... thumbs up to them.
