Does anyone know the current draw of a normal running gti6?I'm thinking of dropping to a 55A alternator to save some weight but dont want it to not be upto the job. It will be for my track car so most un-necessary electrics will be removed, may eventually get a heated windscreen or electric heater blower to get rid of the heater matrix. Any input will be appreciated.  ________________________________________ Goldie the track car. |

Cheers Ash and Matt.I'm intending to do something similar to your setup Ash, but i'll relocate the PAS pump to the a/c area, and rose joint the alternator to act as the tensioner where the alternator normally goes. Is this the alternator your using? ________________________________________ Goldie the track car. |

A bit of a thread revival but i have just got my nice lightweight alternator and there are some instructions saying that it needs a switched live for the 'T' connector.You don't appear to have any wires going to this bit Ash, is there a reason or have you added some after that photo was taken? My instructions say that they should both be on with the ignition switch, but one should go through a 1.2W bulb first. ________________________________________ Goldie the track car. |
