Is anyone running a East Coast Auto Electric UltraMini alternator looking to fix my charging issues not sure if I want to go with the ultra mini or the super mini? also want needs to be done to the wiring for the ext. regulator so the GEN light is on all the time?
I run their mini alt,not much bigger or heavier then the ultra.I had it upgraded to put out over 100 amps,solved all my electrical issues.I run electric water,fuel,and dual fans,msd.Just mak sure you run welding cable from the batt. to your alt.
I tried running the mini. My car has Elec. fuel pump, water pump, fan and a msd digital 7, and an extra large yellow top glass mat battery. The car was charged between every run. The mini alt would not charge enough and after 3 or 4 runs the car would stall after the burn out when the rpms came down. After 6 runs one time I had the car die in the traps when I let off to tighten up with the other racer. I found no problems with any componet in my car. I changed to the 120 amp small alt they have, and all issues were solved. The Digital 7 pulls alot of current as the rpm's rise.
We have a board member who does starters and alternators,65 specialconvert I think is his handle...Jamie is his name I think...Fish
I ended up going with the super mini it is a 74amp and 50 amps at idle and it fit right in the stock location using a 3/4 spacer haven't started the car up yet to try it out thought.
