Silverrotor - Don't want to rush you, but any chance you can give us rough timeframe? I just replaced my battery last night, hoping that was my electrical problem.. I twasn't. At full load, with the car running i'm getting barely 13.0 volts going to my battery, and it will drop down as low as 10.5 at idle. not good!

Hey guys, It's apparent that their Is some Interest In having me continue selling these FD Alternator Kits but at this point It's a toss up. Alot goes Into making these a complete Kit and ready for use, but I'll need more responses to work with.

I will need one soon as well. Seeing how the alternator on my car has unknown amounts of years on it, it may crap out soon. And plus i may go e-fan seeing how this stock fan is 15 years old =)

I'm officially jumping on this bandwagon... it's something I'm going to end up needing eventually, and I can make up some of the costs selling my good condition S5 alternator hopefully.
Reason being I'm eventually gonna want an e-fan to clean up the engine bay.

yes, I am in need of one asap....just added amp #3...2700 watts.
I would gladly buy one from you, but if it doesn't happen, what about everything else needed to do the job? Is it just the plug? Please offer these again.

Okay guys, I'm pushing my supplier and machinist to get a go on this. It looks like we are going to go for a repeat on the production of these Kits!! Two Kits have been recently sold and they are ready to go to Sweden and Indiana.
I plan on creating a stickied thread In the Classifieds very soon and hope to create a huge success as done prior.

Also, just a semi-side note.
A short while after the first production run I had mentioned that there Is another project In the works. I figure It would be worth noting this here. I was considering to sell another type of Kit. This would have been a complete alumunium billet machined Serpentine Belt Kit that would replace the Alternator, Power Steering, Waterpump and Main Pullies. I didn't carry on with this b'c I didn't anticipate the cost of the kit at the time but when I learned of the final cost to have It ready for distribution - It was ridiculous. The price of the Kit was way to high so I cut It short before It took off.

So whats the difference on the pull from the fc pulley?
I currently have the RB underdrive pullies and I guess I won't be able to use the alternator one anymore.

FD Alternator Kits are now ready for distribution! PM me for details In the mean time. I'll soon create another thread In the Classifieds.
The Racing Beat Pulley cannot be used. The Shaft to the 93-96 FD Alternator Is exceptionally wider and the back of the Pulley has to be modified to suit. Even than It cannot be used.

If It's not with me, hIGGI has Double Pullies made specific for FD Alternators.
