How to Clock or re clock Your Alternator / Move alternator stud
มุมมอง 2.2K2 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a quick video explaining how to reclock your denso hairpin / segment conductor style alternator. I made a mistake not exposing the torque spec in the video better. The video shows m6 bolts, which is adequate for the size bolt being used, but you should be close to 9-11 ft lbs for m5 bolts which are also commonly used on these types of alternators. The main thing you’re after is making s...

    You should make a video demonstrating the wiring to an external regulator after cutting the extra leg off. I’m going to take a shot and say the hot wire goes to the positive stud of the alternator with the battery cable then the other goes to the field cable. I’m a rookie no one listen to this comment until it’s been confirmed by someone who knows what they are talking about 😂

    You were brothers with Tony or you worked for ces alternators. Tony says from ces you can't put a diode on his 250 amp Toyota hairpin. Send the alternator in it's got a built in regulator. He is full of it please tell me he's wrong. Because I built the 90 aph LTO bank. His alternator is on one utube video and it ain't even worth putting it in. 13.9 volts at idle and mid 14s on rpms. My LTO bank should last real long. Thank you Johnathan

    So my car is a 19 Camry which is PCM controlled charging system and has a one wire lin bus harness so I ordered an autotech 240 and voltage control module to increase my voltage I'm trying to charge around 16 15.8 minimum but I have been told by other people with a PCM controlled car and a HO alternator that majority only see 15.2 max because the car never senses the need to charge anything the new alternator will have the sense wire 3 pin can I do this in between the voltage control module and the alternator and possibly get the extra volt

    • @mikeanderson3565
      @mikeanderson3565 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The alternator is not pcm controlled you here people say the ECM controls the voltage. So call Toyota they said at every service department they don't. The techs told me a lot of alternator companies just can't build a true alternator. You need a large case and before I would ever buy a 270xp off DC power give me the truth it's not a large case. There's not enough room in there to fit it. Then you can build 14.8 fixed input regulator but that depends on what ? come out with it for $750.00 for an alternator not any reply. I'm out a lot of green, So get an old van or suburban you can run all the alternators you want. There afraid your going to burn up your Toyota. I read on forums about people's Toyota alternators acting up as they drove around for 6 months on 17 volts lol. So nothing ever burnt up and that's hard to believe but it's true. Best of luck

      @SlamryCamry19 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@mikeanderson3565 yeah that's an old post I've got everything figured out and moved on to the actual system now and it was actually really really easy all I did was called autotech engineering and got a 240 for 425$ and the voltage control module for another 125$ or something like that and installed it and boom 15.8 charging my SCIB bank I have zero voltage drop no issues with the car period except the charging system malfunction indicator on the dash which is a modern day battery light nothing more and I don't know who you talked to but when I researched it I was told any Toyota is good up to 16v so I think maybe you are overthinking it and to be honest the car hasn't done anything that anyone said it would but I also went with the autotech recommendation of 240 amps or less I do have two buddies one at work and another in Texas both with Camry and both have high output alternator and charging at 15.8 same as me they do have some idle output issues that require nothing more than a tap of the gas pedal to smooth out and charge properly but that because they went with the large case and over 300 amps I have a small case 240 and it works like a dream but I had to figure that out on my own from seeing what the bigger alternators were doing at idle on their cars and I went with the safe option for the car because it only has 40k miles on it and plenty of life

    I want to bypass the PCM because everything works except the charge to my battery. So far I installed new battery and new alternator, and I would like to bypass the PCM using external voltage regulator now this is not working either and I wonder it's because the alternator has a built-in regulator that prevents it from getting excited. What are your thoughts?

  • @haydenwatson7987
    @haydenwatson7987 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very informative video. This looks like a great starting point for a build I want to do this winter. I am wanting to build an alternator for my diesel power sailboat to retire my 30-year-old Ample Power 108A externally regulated alternator. It was built on the old Delco DN10 case with rewound rotor and stator and better diodes to increase the output and durability. At 2.27 you were pointing to an AC stator tap. Does this have a pin-out in the connector that I can use to give my alternator driven tachometer its signal? Is there an easy way to eliminate the internal regulator so that I can use my 3-stage smart regulator from my old Ample Power? What is the power output on this unit? My primary need from the alternator is to recharge my 560Ah LiFePo4 (LFP) battery bank. Because it will accept the full output of any alternator for hours on end, I need the external regulator so that I can current limit the output by controlling the field. I assume that this is a B-type rotor. Is there a way to convert it to an A-type. For my needs this is a safer method. My preference would be to bring both of the brush connections to the outside with case-isolated terminals. The 3-stage charging is important becuse for saftest operation, my LFP wants to bulk and short absorb at 14.1v but after maybe 30-minutes at most should drop to a float voltage of 13.5v. My external reguator does all of that along with reducing output if the alternator case gets too hot but that means external regulation is a must.
