Q:What is having a more powerful HO ALT useful for?
A: They're great for big sound systems or any power hungry installation that demands a lot of current! They will keep your batteries topped off much better than a lower amp unit, especially during extreme use where more amps are needed to replenish whatever battery bank you have!!!
FAILED Alternator Symptoms:
Failed amperage bench test (at local shop)
Constant dead batteries or low voltage light
Not keeping batteries charged up (maintained)
Hard time starting engine (caused by dead batts)
No power steering or brake assist
Strange noise or loud noises while spinning

Thanks For Watching, Guys!!! 😀
Nice job buddy
This is going to be a great video exo
Always a pleasure bro.
I think that white stuff might be calsium i dont realy know i would say have a detailer detail the engine bay or get some armor all sray wash and a scrub brush
Thanks for the upload Bruce
This is the happiest man I've ever seen in my life, puts me in a better mood every time I watch a video! Thanks for the content brother 🙏
The aluminum is oxidising personally I pressure wash mine at least twice a year to try to keep it clean mine does the same
I agree I would pursue wash with a mixture of vinegar
Use motor oil or wd-40 spray. this work.
Pressure wash your engine!?
@@rootz420 most engines have weather pack connections and are fuel injected. As long as you don't spray your air intake your fine. If you think about it, every time you drive in the rain your motor gets wet.
Demcheck yep
Watch you off and on for years. This video has convinced me to subscribe, nice to see that you understand the purpose of the alternator and batteries any charging perspective. It's funny I work for AutoZone, nothing is more tiring than trying to explain to a customer very bad battery will kill an alternator and a bad alternator will kill a battery. Alternators are not meant to charge your battery they are meant to maintain a full charge.
I really like how you showed the amperage draw before and after awesome work as always brother
I wrench for a living, and see this salt stuff more than I like. A few tips Jerms! 1st, you live in salt central, and what your seeing is corrosion. A product called fluid film, and a good pressure washing will remove and prevent it in the future. Needs to be applied annually to continue to protect. When working on salted vehicles, always use penetrant on all exposed threads before turning wrenches, to alleviate the rust stiction, and prevent thread damage. Use channel locks to hold the wire end when drilling, the bit sometimes catches the edge and could rip the connector off or cause injury.
Have you clamped the alt at full output yet? I'm curious what a 320a small case is capable of! Idle current seemed decent!
Its aluminium oxidising, its normal. Also continental belts are really good😉
@TheOtherWhiteBread0 It literally said made in Mexico on it. That's true in the case of "some" parts, but it's not true for Continental as they are made by Goodyear. Dayco, Mitsuboshi, Bando, and Gates are also not made at the same shop.
Exactly my thinking, also he could powdercoat them to alliviate it.
@@TheLionAndTheLamb777 they are not made by good year. Continental bought all of those elements out and DSV handles the distribution. So they are continental, all sleeved in the same place. Keyword. Sleeved.
Spray lube on oxidation it"ll keep it clean.. dont soak just mist it once and awhile. ... great videos keep em coming
That is corrosion from salt on the roads being salted or from salt air. I think from what I have been told.
Correct, mostly people near a body of salt water have this issue
That's the cause of all that rust as well
Big 3, Big 3, Big 3

If you get a high output alternator really won't need a big3.
Hey Exo, do the Big 3 upgrades in the next video. Thanks.
ou hi men
Impact ratchet or an air ratchet.... changes lives, saves backs. Thanks for all the tips and tricks bro!
Hey Exo, always unplug the "-" from the battery first ;) then nothing can happen with the positive wire.
R. L. Seen people make this mistake with starters, look like a arc welder under the car
I always undo both
@@julioc3445 but undo the negative first, its safer since negative is chassis ground.
he does even says he does it at 3:43
😂🤣😂😂
got my 350 amp alternator ,,, bench tested to 362 Amps , Powder coated dark purple Looks like a real work of art .. made by Apex high output alternators... Had no need to change my belt the pulley was almost the same size ... It's sad because you don't see the alternator in my car its behind and Low on the engine
BRUCE! Make sure you check the belt after driving around, after a few heat cycles under the hood the belt will stretch a little bit.
after having to remove 12 big bolts with 4 to 6 inches of threads i got a M12 Ratchet and man i love it
Don't worry exo!! Continental is a good brand over here in the EU, more specifically Germany. They manufacture bike tires too and they've been in business for a long time! :)
TheVergil Dante and tires. Like Goodyear.
Gates belts are trash and I've heard stories that Continentals are okay but if I did any custom jobs I'd change to a higher "performance" belt
@@jacobwebb8818 Goodyear and Continental are basically the same and are owned by the same company. Gates are better than Dayco though!
BIG 3!!! with solder and heat shrink terminals
Bruce’s face when the vatozone guy said “it’s a Continental”😂😂😂
Don’t trip EXO, Continental and Gates are the good stuff.
Mike I dont get it. Haha
I’m glad that I watched this video because I had no idea that Irragi Alternators existed much less them being about five minutes from my house.
Great video Exo, every step was thought out and well explained and you even left your mistakes in. I also didn’t know that charging batteries from a low state from the alternator only was bad for both the batteries and the alternator.
I'm glad you caught that belt problem that could have been real bad
The white powdery stuff is salt corrosion maybe from snow plows salting the highways
Thank you for being the reason I got seriously into car audio man. I wish there was audio competitions in evansville so I could meet you
"freaking shred my belt to pieces before we could even have fun with it" ~EXO 2020
96 buick was non stop this lmao
So quick story about alternators and dead batteries. I had a 2005 Ford Five Hundred and purchased a Mechman 240a alternator. I had a group 34 under the hood and a group 31 AGM in the trunk. Ran an Orion XTR 4000.1 @ 1 ohm and an Alpine 50x4 on the doors. Mechman lasted about 4 months then died. I got it pulled out and sent back. They fixed it quick and I got back and installed. Withing 3 months it died again. Again, I got it pulled out and shipped back in. At this point I was bashing Mechman every chance I got. These alternators were pure garbage. Mechman on the phone asked me some questions because he couldn't figure out why the rotor kept burning out of them. They sent it back and I sold it. I bought a CES 250a self exciting alt and it worked great for the 3-4 months I had it in but then I traded the car and pulled everything out of it. Let me preface this with everything hooked up and car off my front battery was reading 12.6v and the rear around the same. Once I pulled the alt and all the gear out including the group 31 I went to start the car and it was stone dead..I mean 0, nothing, nada. Come to find out that from group 34 was stone stone dead. That poor Mechman was running at 100% trying to charge a battery that wouldn't take a charge. The fact that the damn thing lasted as long as it did actually impressed me. I open apologized on Facebook pages that I talked trash about them on. Long story short check your batteries! :-)
When ur gonna work on the big build?
Botch CS I’ve been wondering the same, I can’t wait!
When he becomes a millionaire or slowly gathers up funds to do more
the installation is really easy and your friend really loosens up the video. was really fun to see 👍👍 Grüsse from Germany
9:05 "I must look so ridiculous right now, HEY CAT!" Lmfaooo fucking love EXO man😂😂
This series will forever help me
hey exo! nice vid and keep it up!:) luv to watch your every vid.. about the aluminum "calcium build up" you can just leave it or just do nice engine wash once a month.. those white powder is sometimes produced by the acid base battery fumes and also the humidity is a factor as well.. hope this helps..:)
The exo dance makes me smile every time, so does Elise she should get on camera with you more
Clean off the oxidation with that scotch Brite pad and use some fogging oil (or other spray lube with a FINE MIST) don't soak it. An even, light coat
Just oxidation. If it’s really stuck on you can take a wire wheel to it and shine it up. Lubrication will prevent it from doing that. Wiping surfaces with a light coat of WD-40 (spray on rag then wipe don’t spray directly on surfaces because it’ll get way to oily and pick up grime) will help out with keeping it shiny.
Keep up the killer work. Love the videos. BIG 3, BIG 3, BIG 3!!!!!!!
Wow your lucky exo I searched high and low for a high output for my 92 toyota 4runner. The highest I could find was a 170amp. So I took the 240amp one off my camaro. Bought the pigtail for the gm alternator and repinned it for the toyota harness 3 wire. And now with 0g I'm getting 300 amps
hell yeah big 3 video needed
Hey exo, welcome to the world of being a mechanic for 5-10 mins 😂😂. I know it hurts. But that's how we make our living. We have to go through the physical pain to get the job done, but it's very rewarding after the job is done.
You need to invest in some power tools my dude
Its water spots
Its aluminum corrosion, kind of like rust. I had the same issue, which is why whenever I remove a part from my car I paint it. For Al parts that I want the natural finish on, I use VHT high temp clear coat. Works like a charm.
Maybe some tutorials on installing second battery? Should we instal 2 The same batteries, same brand, same power etc? Something like that. And of course im waiting for some door panels diy.
They don't necessarily NEED to be the same brand, but same type (lead acid or Gel) and same amp/hour (reserve) is desired.
for the door panel screach diy door panel you have many video on ytb
@@Frenchittino I know, but its good to have tutorials from your favourite car audio TH-cam channel
@@bepbep7418 that was more like idea for the video not the real question but thx for answer anyway . I just like EXO and want him to do some stuff, even tho I know the answer but maybe he will add something interesting from himself, you know what i mean.
@@dtg6760 it's true maybe i would like to see EXO's custom door panel too
Fumes from non sealed batteries increase the amount of galvanic corrosion. Galvanic corrosion is a natural layer that forms on aluminum to protect the metal underneath. It forms when water , air, and aluminum is mixed it creates aluminum oxide. The white powder you see. You can remove it but it will come back unless you polish or paint.
Lmao at his facial expression after he was told the name of said belt!!.. 😂😂😂
continental is actually a good german brand
Ok so a couple of tips. First off a wire brush does better with cleaning threads. Also that white crud is actually aluminum corroding from salt and moisture. Second harbor freight has an 18" RATCHETING breaker bar so you can stand straight and save your back. It's done wonders for me. Best $20 ever
Do the BIG 3 , BIG 3 , BIG3 !! Well , let me not overdo it :D
missed so much of your great vidz over such a long time
I'm about to just binge and catch up on all the great vidz I've missed out on
thanx a lot for always keeping one hand aside to keep us updated,informed and inspired
Damm! Dwayne Johnson as patreon , now everything match 🤣
Like EXO saying it's being maintained by trickle charge. Even though I have 1000 Marine cranking amps under my hood, that doesn't mean my alternator can keep up charging it after a long run on the stereo. I take it home and trickle charge it at night.
Continental is a great brand man !
good year gator back
Dani Bassman
The alternator is to maintain the battery voltage not to charge them from being dead. It can doit, but its a strain that is not needed if you have a battery charger. Big 3 big 3!!
"I HATE DOING ONE-HANDED STUFF!" :))))) are you sure? :))))))
Back in the 90's I roasted a Alt playing jams on a old school equalizer booster. Kept doing it with the car off, crank it with just enough power to start it. Of course cars didn't have a overload switch to prevent burnout back then, After a few times of doing this it roasted both bat and alt. I added water to battery and it just boiled. Eventually fried the electrical system After a second time of this 🙄 I didn't learn anything the first time just thought the parts needed to come out as the car had 200,000 miles. Fried it just a few hundred miles After changing it out.
Point is I understand charging the battery with a external source, may need to do this with vehicles in general as most the time the alt is only powering what is on. Short cranking times now make the alt sensors not want to charge battery. Not sure how many vehicles have that.
This video reminded me to look into a float charger 👍. Alternator gauge in my vehicle never stays in same place, but it's been tested. Figure it's probably all the things that automatic come on at the first start of car, head lamps and head lights.
Anyway excellent video.
Remember Exo always remember to do a big 3 while you are upgrading to a hight output alternator
🤔 not sure if trolling or stupid
What you did man, was good enough. like you said< it was only to get it back on the road. The big 3 could come in the next video since you got room to get it done now. Thanks for sharing Exo
do the big 3 new alternator new cables
i need to do the same thing but i couldn't find the 1/0 AWG
and i'm a french fan btw
Find an electrical supply company. (We have Graybar here in the States) you should be able to get 1/0 in at least CCA wire by the meter (not as good as OFC but still works.)
@@bepbep7418 'k man thank for your replie
You can use welding cable.
Robert 1981 agreed, and it probably has a better rated/more durable insulator/jacket
EXO you are the most positive dude ever... Keep it up 👍
Big3 Big3
BIG FOUR...!!! 💪💪💪
The harbor freight step drills are decent but will burn quite easy on steel. I just drilled out a grade 5 washer with one and it got pretty hot and dulled.
Putting a hard load on an alternator will wear it out quicker. A charger monitors the battery as it charges and knows when to quit. A 10 to 15A charger is good to use with a final 2A maintain.
Second i was about to say since you had it out might as well do the big 3 lol
Big 4 is better
@@xspowermando9551 Big 5 is even better
Cuatro
Mind blown..
Wats the big 5?
Your one handed abilities are amazing lol
My front battery is 70ah and rear battery is 100ah, my alternator pumps out 70a... I guess thats bad, i may need to change to a bigger one?
That depends on your average power consumption. As long as you don't crank it up to a very high volume all the time you won't run down your batteries. For instance: a sub system that consumes 1000w at 130db will only consume 125w at 121db, witch is still a healthy volume. Your batteries store about 2000wh of energy while your alternator spits out about 900w after a certian engine rpm (at idle it will be significantly less). It all depends on the size of your system, how loud you play and for how long at a time.
That looks easy one handed.
I had to wiggle mine into place. The mount fits like the blocks of the pyramid of Giza. LOL looks good!
I wish my alt wasn't under the car wedged in behind the AC compressor 😭
What type of car you have
@@tboneo2005 15 Jeep Patriot.
Yes those cars are hard to work on
My 2003 holden commodore has the alternator on top of the engine, 2 minutes have the old alt out and the new one in
@@thenotoriousrvh6091 Had that on a 2005 Fiat Croma, pain in the butt to replace. Thats the benefit of jeep=fiat nowadays. Apart from these kind of quirks it wasn't a bad car.
Wire brush and never seize. Definitely helps. Love the videos bro!
i'm sure you've heard about cleaning the engine bay, yeah?
DO IT
Come clean it if ur so worriesd
The one handed mechanic does it again
Invest in a side impact driver..
Do you also call a torque wrench an impact torque ratchet?..
I like to use the 3 step bit set. Don't need to have a bunch of drill bits taken up space in the tool box. Also that brand of belt you got is a really good one. 👍😎🤘
dont close your eyes..USE SAFETY GLASSES!!! you get two eyeballs. take care of them!
Wish my car as as simple/easy as this one seems to be! I called 4 places about making a custom high-output alternator, Ohio Alternator and all. Everyone declined me saying Sorry - Not possible. Since the alternator is smaller than generic ones. 100A stock. Singer ended up making one for me, which was only possible by CNC machining the stock endbells out, making them a little thinner, and shoved in a larger, hairpin style alternator with 6-phases. End result ended up being just about 200A. The largest he could fit inside that stock case with a larger bell on the rectifier side. Bypassed the external regulator system ( Car would force into 12.8V Eco Mode ) So now its 14.7V solid. Works great! But yeah, 200A is the dead max. Install location is buttom of the engine near the firewall. Lift the car. Go through the tire..sucked.
Wish I could get a bigger alternator for my Hyundai ix 20 I live in 🇬🇧 UK
Salts from the road.I live in fl and never had that issue.
Just worked on my car, and I hear ya about the torture of 1/16th of a turn at a time ratcheting... I'm Seriously going to get a power ratchet after seeing a guy use one recently.. Quick, and totally Effortless.. Well worth the expense I think..
The white powder is oxidation fro salt in the water from the road , just power wash it off, once u have cleaned it off give everything a wipe over with an oily rag to protect everything
You covered a lot of important issues in this video, great job!!
Hey buddy, you can use a salt and vinegar solution in a spray bottle to get rid of all those deposits on the engine. Make sure to cover the electronic connectors and any exposed electronics.
THIS IS A LESSON TO ALL OF YOU DO NOT PLAY NO MORE THEN 500 WATTS RMS ON A STOCK ALT OR PAY THE PRICE A BURNT UP ALT THE FIRST THING IS TO UPGRADE THE FACTORY ALT ASAP BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE.............. EXO WHERE IS YOUR WORK GLOVES AT MAN???????? We both have the same batt charger man this thing is great to own awesome
Dude i truly enjoy your videos and the fun you have making them. You're a good dude. very helpful!
Big 3!!!
That flaky stuff is just the aluminium oxidizing, don't worry about it
its good that they placed the alternator next to the intake manifold. my car has the alternator next to the headers which generates more heat and make my alternator run inefficient
Never charge battery while connected to vehicle. Disconnect first. Great editing bro! Wish my YT channel had your editing skills bcuz I have tons of interesting and useful car audio video ideas.
That's just corrosion on the aluminum parts nothing to worry about, but if you want to prevent that from happening just wire brush them and maybe sand a little bit and spray down with some degreaser, dry it and spray some clear coat on it and it'll be lookin good as new.
Yes my next new car is going to have a badass alt Going to do it right from start to finish
The corrosion on the metal is becasuse the salt using for the snow on the road. Wash yours cars with clean water! The corrosion and salt is letal for metal!!
Best regards from argentina.
I use permatex anti-seize on pain in the ass threads especially ones going into the engine block.
BIG3!!! ... When I am in the market for a new car I always pop the hood to see if I can easily access the alternator. If I can't get to the alternator myself I'd keep shopping. Nothing stays stock, except maybe my EV vehicle. I still need to do some homework on whether I can upgrade my alternator on my chevy volt.
CLR it and then put a engine enamel on it. You’re getting corrosion on your aluminum engine which with enough can cause your engine to not cool down properly which can ultimately reduce the life of your engine so putting on engine enamel will prevent it from happening again and it’s designed to not keep your engine heat from escaping properly.
Love watching these old school exo vids….
My iraggi 320 getting built as we speak 😎
Just adding this because I've seen it quite a few times. "Tighten your belt" means a bit past snugged. I've seen belts get ruined and alternator, and or water pump bearings fail due to people going full ham on their belt tightening.
I got a mechanic 240 amp alternator for my 2011 camry. Before I could have it installed, my car got hit and I replaced it with a 2017 accord. Life is good 🙃🙃
Big 3!! Big 3!! Love the videos exo, keep em coming
Yes that's bad haha. Its corrosion. Will start pitting soon. Get some cpc type 3 in the green can and spray all that down. Safe for electrical stuff. Used it on aircraft in the Navy
To get rid of the oxidation you can mix water and Muratic acid 50/50, spray it on let it sit for a bit and rinse off. After desired result neutralize with a water and baking soda mix.
Aluminum and oxidation my friend. Matter of fact fellow TH-camr Doug / Soundman last video was kinda decent using a acid mix and pressure washer. Nice video share Peace and Bass
the white stuff is aluminum oxidation it is one of the few types of corrosion that acts as a protection layer from more corrosion occurring. best to either remove and clear with a protectant or to leave alone and let it protect itself.
I've been awaiting this video. Awesome job dude. Good catch as well. Turned out great
How long do you anticipate it taking before you start getting content going on the new build? Im aware life has its priorities and it takes time and money but thought id ask anout your thoughts and hopes for how it will unfold. I have been watching for years and im excited for whats to come.
Big 3 big 3
The wire you need disconect for the job.. always is the negative.
Best regards exo!!
Oxidation, due to cold weather and moisture, definitely wanna clean it turns to rust or will get worse👍🏻💯
Aluminum corrosion. Get a polishing compound for aluminum and a buffing wheel. It'll shine like chrome
nice job i love high amp alts one thing though when installing belts in general even timing belts the writings should read correctly when viewed from front of engine thats the way it was manufactured for intended belt rotation.
