BUILD K swap miata

If you're pushing it around the road course I would probably look into replacing an original radiator. Deposits Etc do buildup on the inside of the tubes and in between the air fins and reduce Cooling....

Is this more to your taste?

Okay, so this "oh the battery drained business" Is not what I thought.

Recently drove it to and from work. I live really close and it barely made it home. Gauge cluster turning off and Seatbelt light flashing.

I was driving on battery charge.

Checked fuses, grounds, and wires to alternator look good.

Car off power and ground at the alt read 12ish
battery voltage. Running it jumps down to 9.

The voltage regulator is inside the alternator. So, everyone says I'm better off just buying a new alternator. Instead of rebuilding.

Good ol K series.

Every major auto parts store had an alternator in stock.

Throwing this new one in tonight.

 

[AnimalMother316]

All done.





Glad it was alternator. I fucking hate hunting down electric shit.

Having the Bluetooth ECU is so nice too.

That alternator looks like it's seen some miles.

Yeah, I can't quite remember if I bought it used or rebuilt, cause obviously the pulley is newer than the rest of that alternator. Lol
