So far in 80 degree weather last year, the griffin radiator, 6 blade fan and reduced diameter pulley keep things nicely in the desired 195-205 degree engine temp range. Have not had a chance to see how things go under more stressful conditions. Thanks Mark L for mentioning a cooling aspect I had not thought of. Hate to have a generator setup that will not drive a pusher fan near idle if it turns out I need one.</span></div></div><div><div class="yiv7591505166MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"> </span></div></div><div><div class="yiv7591505166MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">So for the time being I will just stick with the new generator and stock pulley.

They were marginal when five grand was the upper rev limit, today most modern engine rebuilds are good for 6500 or more. Mechanically the generator is not really designed to spin at high speeds very long (Tigers run around 3K at 70), the bearings will overheat and spall, the brushes float and arc, the commutator breaks down, and then really ugly things begin to happen. Going to the Hi-Po larger pulley helps but you now have a lack of current at lower speeds from a 25% or so reduction in rpm. The combination of your headlamps, tail lamps, gauges, fuel pump, and ignition will consume around 270 watts, that’s 20 amps at 13.5 volts, and the generators I’ve had rebuilt might pump out 25 amps on a good day at max rpm, but at cruising speeds you’re lucky to get half that. Add a GPS, cooling fan or other accessory and you will run out of juice.</span><span style="color:black;"></span></div><div class="yiv7591505166MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"> </span><span style="color:black;"></span></div><div class="yiv7591505166MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">So what’s the option? Obviously an alternator is the way to go, even under-driven they put out three times the current. But they look so modern. As an alternative I have now installed three PowerGen alternators that look just like the generator. They can generate over 30 amps at idle and are good for 7000 rpm engines. They ain’t cheap but they look just like the OEM generator. They make a one-wire and a two-wire version, the Tiger offset pulley bolts right up.</span><span style="color:black;"></span></div><div class="yiv7591505166MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"> </span><span style="color:black;"></span></div><div class="yiv7591505166MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PWM-82101/">http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PWM-82101/</a></span><span style="color:black;"></span></div><div class="yiv7591505166MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"> </span><span style="color:black;"></span></div><div class="yiv7591505166MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"> </span><span style="color:black;"></span></div><div class="yiv7591505166MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">The pictures are from my car.</span><span style="color:black;"></span></div><div class="yiv7591505166MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"> </span><span style="color:black;"></span></div><div class="yiv7591505166MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">Bugz</span><span style="color:black;"></span></div><div class="yiv7591505166MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"> </span><span style="color:black;"></span></div><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in;"><div class="yiv7591505166MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;"> Tigers [<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:tigers-bounces@autox.team.net" target="_blank" href="mailto:tigers-bounces@autox.team.net">mailto:tigers-bounces@autox.team.net</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>genepadgett--- via Tigers<br clear="none"><b>Sent:</b> Monday, April 06, 2015 2:57 PM<br clear="none"><b>To:</b> Tiger's List<br clear="none"><b>Subject:</b> [Tigers] high speed generator pulley</span><span style="color:black;"></span></div></div></div><div class="yiv7591505166MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"> </span></div><div><div><div class="yiv7591505166MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">Hi All,</span></div></div><div><div class="yiv7591505166MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"> </span></div></div><div><div class="yiv7591505166MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">In the book Performance Tuning the Tiger there is mention and a picture of a larger than stock generator pulley which slows the generator down and makes it happier to be run at higher motor RPM's.
