Optima Yellowtop + High Output Alternator Install

[Legacy777]

Email Chad, and see if they did one for your alternator, and if so, see if he can scan it and send it to you.

Ya I will

I stopped in at Midas today, since they were doing free charging system checks'

They only tested it under the cars load (lights, stereo, etc)

But the guy said it was 'phenomenal'

My Optima Yellowtop was putting out 1065 CCA

Even with everything maxed out, the voltage never dipped below 13.58V at 3000rpm, and 13.15V at idle

Yeah.....I think the voltage regulator in my alternator is set a little lower....because it rarely goes above 13-14v....at least according to the select monitor.

I'd have to put a DVM on it and test it again.....

After a long run of the stereo or computer with the car off, I get a solid 13.8V+ for a dozen miles or so, but thats about all.

Can this uber alternator be installed while keeping the a/c?

[Legacy777]

yeah....why would you have to mess with the a/c?

[Splinter]

It replaces the current alternator, it doesnt supplement it.
