I still got my ol' civic with the JRSC , and the air to water intercooler i invented. I'm using the following pulley setup to net me a total boost of 12 psi.

Honda CRV crank pulley + ENDYN alternator stepper pulley + JRSC stock blower pulley = 12 psi. Im netting 12 psi because im losin a couple or few psi thru the air to water intercooler.
My problem is : My alternators keep getting too hot or overspinng and they crap out and die.
What pulley combo could i use to keep my 12 psi, yet not damage the alternator every few months ?
Can someone install new stronger (guts) of my OEM alternator ? Or coulds i swap out the stock oem alternator for a stronger or one that can withstand higher rpms ?
but i neew to retain the same size oem alternator or smaller for clearances .

thanks to anyone who has any sort of input that could help me out.
BTW, the car still pulls low 12's till this day. 4- 5 years and still tickin like a champ !!

HONDA forever man
I also have a 350z, but like driving my civc more, go figure !

you using the stock blower nose pulley?

you can go pretty small on that before you run into belt slippage..
i've got a 3.4 on my sohc

fugg it. I removed my intercooler. Im gonna keep running 12 psi without it. The car will still put down low 12's without it.

My best et without it = 12.4 @ 110 mph
my best et with it, 12.1 @ 112 mph.

what about putting a underdrive pully on the alternator.......it will spin slower.....

Or knocking down the crank pulley and running a smaller blower pulley.

maybe you could try running a air duct to keep the alternator cool while driving, but i guess eventually the car idling would burn it up anyway.

Wait a minute.

The driving pulley is the crank, and the pulley being driven is the blower.

The size of the alternator pulley is only relevant to the alternator. Get a bigger alternator pulley and you should be set.

agreed. the speed difference on the alternater pully will only be a function of the different circumfrence/diameter of the new pully. the difference will be made up with a tensioner, and the overall belt rotation speed (determined by crank) will remain the same.

could you post up more info about your setup???? Thanks!

Thats a pretty nice intercooler you made. to you.
As far as your question, take either off the crv pulley or the alternator stepper pulley and get a smaller blower pulley.

Tad

so why did u remove the intercooler?

I thought u were having alternator problems

Give me a little more info. What is dying in the alternator? The bearings? The insulation breaking down? The brushes? The internal electronics? Is it failing mechanically or electrically?
