Finally got my Cobra back on the road this week.
TH400 + Gear Vendors = MEGA WIN.
Anyway, this car sucks in the heat.
I couldnt even touch the metal plate I made to cover where the shifter once was.
IAT's about 150-160 with my new 2.9 Whipple.
And again, the dreaded low voltage problem.
Shit is just stupid!
So, I decided to be a guniea pig and do a totally custom alternator (in prep for my Killer Chiller install)
Adam from www.nationsautoelectric.com is building me a custom alternator that consists of:
Denso Alternator Parts (3G front with a 6G Rotor)
Higher Amperage
Remote external regulator, adjustable from 12v to 16+
This type of alternator is commonly used on Ambulances and buses, so its a great starting point.
He found me a 3.3" alternator pulley to go with it
Only thing I am gonna have to do is make a custom bottom mount for it (1/2" shorter) Actually thats gonna be to my favor because Ill try and make an adjustable bracket so that when the belt stretches, all I will have to do is loosen the alternator, slide it over and put the belt back on. Kinda old school!
It should ship by the end of the week and will probably be around $400.
I know its steep but hopefully it will solve this problem once and for all.
