Date Posted: November 13, 2005 at 9:29 PM

I finally recieved my Ireggi alternator (28 days later) and I install it and when I turn on my truck the alternator dosn't charge, but when i hit the gas it starts charging and when the engine goes back down to idle it continunes to charge. Just not on start up at idle.... Anyone heard of this?

Ireggi alternator definately isn't competition for mechman.

probably defect. but what are you getting you reading from dvm or your gauge on the dash? i've had the gauge on the dash lie to me before. i'm figuring your using a dvm. so the field wires are ok. no damage maybe broke but physicaly look ok?

I can see my guage on my battery, guage on my dash, had my dmm hooked up in the truck and my battery light is on when its not chargeing.  If i have to send this back im saying screw you dom and getting another real mechman alternator.

ya i would not even bother,waiting for another one. i use i guy local to upgrade my stuff. and he's half the price of them ireggi's and for me there aint no shipping. no body local around you? sounds to me like your voltage regulator or your having trouble in the field of the alternator.(what makes it start , stop and regulate the charging/output state of the unit).lol

It seems to work fine on start up after the truck has been driven, but when the alternator is cool it dosn't work on start up unless i increase the rpm up 300 then it kickes in.

I wish i had a place in town, but there all worried about liabilitys and such and wont do it.

I think this week im going to take it out and get it tested to see if it does what its rated to do, because it shurely dosn't seem like it, I step on the brakes and my dash lights dim slightly

wow alpine, we have never ever had any problems with any of our irragi alts.    Yes they typically take time to get, but never any issues.    You say when you rev above 300rpm?    your car runs that low?       I dont know where the kill is on his alternators, because even our street cars run at 800rpm idle......the comp cars are 1200rpm

The alternators will do thier expectd output at 1200-1400rpm from what I have been told.

I hope you get things worked out, if not shoot me a PM and I will see if I cant give Dom a call myself.

It idles at 950rpm at start up and dosn't turn on till it its 1200 rpm approx, and it will stay chargeing after the gas is let off even when the veh idles at 800rpm when warm.

Do your alternators seem to be louder than stock? I can hear my alternator faintly over the sound of my engine.  Before i put it in the truck i could hear a very quiet clicking when spinning the pully....maybe im way too pickey!  But thats a good thing right? haha

sounds like the alternator has something lose on the inside... which sucks ass.. i would send it back but if it took 28 days to get it.. thats a lil ridiculous!!!! hopefullly all of these iraggi alts don't take that long get cause i just ordered one for my truck last week and i can't wait that long for it thats for sure.....

jeff how did u do @ nationals in KC?? the local shop here brought home a 2nd and 4th.. not great but not bad for the amount of time they had..

Didn't older VW alternators do this as well? They wouldn't charge at idle, but they would start charging at 1100RPM or so. Once you blipped it over 1100RPM, and then let it idle, it was charging. Something about needing x# of RPM to get enough voltage rise to excite the field from what I remember.

Might be nothing wrong with your alternator as well.... just a thought.

ya if you hear a little clicking in the alt. when you hand spun it. the brushes could be set to low and catching on the armatuer. so i would go with the first thing i said "defective" hurring up to push stuff out the door just doesn't pay off as your experiencing now. i really understand on being reluctant to send the alt. back but for that price it should be perfect with no problems.

i do know some of the older vw's have that higher rpm to kick in the generator field. but thats like the 60's early 70's. but i really dont believe it should happen with the ireggi's. i've never experenced it anyhow. on start up they put out there 14.4 and peak on amparge like jeff said. so off the see the wizard the wouderful wizard of oz. ha!

maybe you could send it out to someone else and you'll have better luck on time wise, thats if you don't mind paying for some elses mistake that there responcible for.

good luck alpineguy. if you want i'll give you my guy info and he's out here in rhode island and im sure you would get it back in a weeks time or maybe a little long but nothing over two weeks. door to door. depending on what shipping class you use.

hopefully i helped you in some way. good luck again alpine guy.

I believe my problems will be worked out, seems he sent my alternator with a 2 7/8" pulley, when it requires a 2" pulley.  Its takeing forever to get it done, but its slowly getting done, , once he stops asking stupid questions that is.

thankx for the up date alpineguy ,see it can be something that simple where the pully is not spinning fast enough because it was to big and reving it up got it to proper revolution. almost inpossible to figure out without the right info. let us know what happens when you recieve the new pully. it is always great to have knoldge on thing we will run into.

Ha! I went through the same thing! I have had three different pulleys for mine. I must say they do do things at their own pace.

Haha, why did you have to go through 3 different pulley's? Kept sending you the wrong ones i assume? He seems to be lost in terms of keeping track of business.

The first was for a three groove belt, the second was too wide and the third, well it was modified by me. I had to incorporate some loctite.

You are right about the business side of things, fortunately he seems pretty nice becsause I called him more often than not.

u guys r killing me here talking about how slow it is to get an iraggi alt.. im dieing to get mine.. i finally have stinger sending me a new battery since mine went bad.. and i ordered a 200 amp iraggi alt and with winter about upon us in good old nebraska.. i was hoping to have it 2 weeks after ordering and that week is this week and i have yet to get a tracking number.. hopefully his alternators r worth the wait!

I wonder what I would hit, in terms of DBs, if I have (2) L5 15s and a Soundstream PCA2000D. Im running with the "big 3" all redone with 1/0 AWG Power wire, in a 1997 Ford Crown Victoria with a 130 amp alternator...

Whell, i recieved my other pulley that he promised would be the 2" version the alt was suposed to come with, and he sent me a 2 9/16" pulley, that guy needs a secretery!

Anyways, now im going to just stop bugging him since its pointless and i need to get this stuff sorted out soon, so i was wondering if anyone knows of a place that has small alternator pulleys for sale? I tryed google and e-bay with no luck.

Find one locally, or have one machined to your specs.
