February 23, 2017 at 1:35 am 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,Ā 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 drawingĀ from the plotters, radar, lights, heater etc. I have 2 x …

I have “home run” voltage meters on all my battery banks. I have a good idea of where the power is used. I have a pretty good understanding of alternators, one-wire vs. three-wire, internal vs. external regulation, etc. The issue I am addressing is the desire for charging the house bank when underway. We cruise a lot, with overn…

They are stamped 260bar If it is advisable to incr…

I saw steam, stopped and shut down, it got the turbo hot enough to take the paint off. ( you wonāt recall it ) both you and Paul Foulston kindly took time to advise me on what to do and check on another forum (BD) I had no symptoms of cracked manifold or head, no bubbles in header, fitted …

November 9, 2016 at 7:41 pm Hi Fellas, just new to the site, I have fuel filtration as per Tony’s recommendation, FS19513 – FS1000 on engine fs1280. is there a finer micron filter that is plug and play onto the existing 1280filter head spud threads ? Is it necessary to go finer micron on that last chance filter? i have had this filtration since 60 hours, 2010 with 1800hrs currently and she runs sweet as a nut, no smoke. ive always wondered if having the bulk kn…
