Hi Guys
I have a 2000 model 6CTA M3, at the moment it has a Delco 22si alternator, J hinge, 12v, with sense wire. I think its 130amp or 145amp
I am looking at installing a 28si, preferably 180amp, 8600223, or 160amp 8600312, to give me more charge at idle.
I do a lot of drifting, engine idle or off and when wrecking idle & low rpm,s. on a night especially I have a a large load drawing from the plotters, radar, lights, heater etc.
I have 2 x FLA Trojan 6v, in series giving me 12v @ 415amp on the house batteries, 2 x Banner AGM for starting, hook up through blue seas isolating switches and a DVSR.
Has anyone upgraded to any of the models mentioned, have there been any problems, any detrimental effects on the serp belt/tensioner, etc. is it worth the cost ?
I think these are plug and play from what I can see.
Is it difficult to change the pulley from old alternator to new ?
any advise is gratefully welcomed
Thanks in advance
Paul
