voltage issues

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I just bought an iraggi 140/200 amp alt and had it installed. At idle, with the car in park the voltage is at 14 and won't fall below 13 even under heavy load. As soon as the car is shifted into gear (any gear) the voltage drops aroung 12 and will barely hit 13 under heavy revs and no load (under load it falls below 12).
Yellow top battery  /w big 3 done.

Looking at it, he hasn't put one of the bolts at the front of the alt. back on so its probably moving - belt tension is still where it needs to be though.

Car is an 03 tib.

I have never heard of that happening.

Very helpful  =(

Thanks for the reply's. I sent him a new email.

I'm also getting bad alt  whine thru my components, would this be caused because the alternator is grounded to the ground strap?

Rca's are ran seperately (twisted, shielded) then the rest of the wires.

yep yep all done.

:)

He couldn't fit a 0 ga ground (used a 4) on the alt because it is so close to the supercharger belt, but he managed to fit one for the +.

Yes he has, I had the same problem. The problem is that when you shift into gear the rpm of the motor drops causing the alternator to spin slower. You need a slightly smaller pulley on the alternator so it will output while at stop lights. He sent me a smaller pulley no charge.
If for some reason he wont help you. Stop by a local alternator shop and get them to order you a slightly smaller pulley.

He makes great alternators, but I guess he seems to over look this issue.

Looks like you caught him on a good day or something.

We ship all alternators with a slightly smaller pulley already. If you want something smaller, we have a cnc machined 1 5/8" pulley for $59

Thanks, Dom

I still have my Irragi alternator, purchased several years back sitting in my room. And yes I did the same thing as far as getting new pulleys. Yet I don't think the current one I have will work, go figure.

Ya know I get so much grief on this board for telling people NOT to get high output alternators for reasons exactly like this.  This clown "Iraggi" or whatever is supposedly the best rebuilder around?

How much money have you given him so far?  Jeeze. 

It has got to be awfully aggravating to spend that kind of money and THEN have to go track down MORE parts?

Gimmie a Yellow Top anyday.

Take it easy champ, if I didn't know your style of cynical posts, I might actually get offended. Oh wait, that would be my buyers remorse.

It's so true. Nothing ever is just "bolt in".
