Hi,
So I took the bait and ordered a Denso racing alternator from DB
Electrical. Nice unit. Mounting it was a 1 on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10
being impossible. Easy, peasey.
So, here's my question: the alternator is supposed to be
"self-exciting". Once you get to 3000 rpm, the thing should turn on. I was
expecting to see the system voltage jump up a bit to 13-ish when the
alternator turned on, but that is not the case. I get ROCK STEADY 12.06
volts from when I start the car 'till I shut it off.
Can anyone else whoe's done the conversion comment on the operation of
this setup?
Maybe I should be looking to use one of the other spade lugs on
the alternator to get the thing to turn on?
Alternately confused,
rml
