the battery is at 12.4 volts while car isint running. goes to 14.7 or so while running, at 5500 rpm or so it goes to 16.7 this alternator is a brand new bosch for a 90 teg. i need to know whats is the problem.

 

maybe the regulator on the new alt is bad, yeah taht is kinda high

 

well the alternator just blew up at ~9900 rpm. pretty neat actually, big puff of smoke and a nice red light in my dash...

I find that comment funny along with your avatar! Hehe!

 

LOL

 

i went ahead and ordered a 94 GSR alternator- heared its higher amps and will also be designed fr 8000 rpm revs


u think itll hold up to anything higher? that ls one was pretty crappy

 

lol........ thats funny

i would have imagined the regulator was bad, regardless of how high you rev i do believe it should regulate the voltage like it should..........

anyways........ good laugh
