Ohio Gen Alternator
Here's my latest toy. She puts out around 110 amps at idle (750 RPM's) and maxes out at 221 amps right around 1900 RPM's. For comparison the stock alternator in a 350Z maxes out at 110 amps. I'm gonna have Rob over at Z car garage put her in next week Friday. Then the system that Bing just put in will be able to reach it's full potential. Right now if I crank it up I get dimming but this should fix that .

Edit: Your equipment is definitely capable of putting a strain an stock Z's electrical system, so I agree that a high output alternator was definitely warranted.

I knew I needed an alternator because when I would play it at normal volumes my voltage would be steadily around 14.4V which means the alternator is still powering the system. When I would crank it up, the voltage would drop to a little over 12 volts which I think meant it was now drawing current from the battery as the alternator could not keep up.
