Before I dropped my mechman alt back in today I decided to see what my factory alt could do. I don't have an "official" load tester like a vat45 so I just loaded the system with what I have. With the mechman alt I clamped it at 250-ishA so I knew I could spank this alt pretty good. They claim 150A peak amps and I guess they weren't lying. This test was done at 2krpm.
While we're on the topic, I did some other tests too.
- engine running 2krpm
- 6 beam lights on
- blower on 5
- fan clutch engaged
