Guess that's the best way to make up for the lack of more said caps. But it sure looks great.

Beeaautifuull, , hope the horn is debris proof.

Should have two Neil, one to hold, the other to nip up, 10-20 will be close enough until you take it for a shake down run, they'll settle in, you might have found it by then.

Any meat left to machine off the wheel? couple mm might make a difference, then add in more camber than you need. Sometimes you just have to be satisfied with what ya got.

Just had a quick look at their pics. Interesting lower coilover mounting position, at least it won't bottom out on the shock housing like my CRS does, i know they probably just threw it together for photos but the ball joint protrusion through the spindle arms is the same as CRS :crazy: the camber ...

Cause it took so long i needed a front end to mount the motor/trans so bought a CRS unit & left that in, Blacky bought the SCW unit.

Hi Neil, 120A police special, on eBay, or for double the price & a lot more amps at idle if you think it's needed, check out Mechman 170A. Ecotec must be some form of Chevy style mount.

Have to agree look'n great, just had a quick reread, the SCW f/e part amused me, exactly the same for me, except for the God DBogga bit, no coilovers, no pads, that was after 18mths, back in 2018/19 so at least things have improved a little.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers

. Depends how much people want to worry about flaring headlights, dimming gauges etc etc.


This is about poor voltage regulation, not amps produced is it not?😀


Yeah Brett, aren't we talking about low amps low volts at low engine revs, i'm not a sparky, don't know the ins & outs on the ...

Forgot to mention, good result with the new rad/fan set up.

Plenty of options, mine is rated 170A, test bench sticker reads 147 @ engine idle (1000rpm) and 174 max, does still have slight voltage drop as my engine idles @ 800. Depends how much people want to worry about flaring headlights, dimming gauges etc etc.

"think I am with Clay on this one, an engine driven compressor sounds like a simpler solution."

I thought the problem was lack of space for both, hence a remote mount compressor? Six o' one, half dozen o' the other I spose.

Modern conveniences and modifications don't come cheap but should be doable on a good ole grey or red, 120A alternator should be enough it's just getting the idle amps high enough or a higher rated alternator?

Probably going to need a higher output alternator or try machining the alternator pulley so there is a 3 - 1 ratio or a stepper motor to increase idle speed to get the alternator alternating. Been there, believe me!!!
The compressor pulls ~50-60A, one/two fans ~15-30 plus inside fan, ignition ...

After party would be a biiigg one, maybe too big to organise.
