You could always run 2 alternators...

I thinking four alternators so I run an E-charger, lol. All kidding aside, one is sufficient.

No, seriously. Run a rwd alternator on the back, stock on the front. Use the rwd one to run the water and ps pumps (amplifier/HIDs/etc also, if needed).

So for the EPSP, an upgraded alternator is a good idea. You can get away with the stock alternator, but you have to run a high idle.


Which water pump are you using?

FYI...it's under $200 if you send them an alternator to upgrade (increases your rating 80amps). My '02 Sport alternator is 180amps now.

Meiziere 136

Here a tip if your going run one. Leave the thermostat in and drill 3-4 holes. If you take out the thermostat, it will take forever to get up to normal operating temp and wild temp swing. The thermostat helps both situation.

My engine does not get over 150F even with the adjustable thermo switch for the pump. When I get off the freeway and shift to neutral to cruise for a half mile, the needle for the temp gauage would slowly move down like a tachometer, kind of freaky.

I'm getting mine from the same place. Pretty convenient since they're in Socal.

What happened to this?

KillerKrossover: can you post more pictures of your setup?

Thanks

Just as an engine needs fuel, air and spark. This project needs money, time and parts. Right now I have ran out of all these things.
