I have 2 great hobbys, Porsche 914 and Car Stereo Sound.
I might not be faster than you guys, but I will have a very unique 914. I pulled all the stereo stuff out of my car, and I am starting all over. I just recieved my Kinetik batteries today. I got a HC1800 to replace my optima, the 1800 is rated at 1900 Amps. I also purchased a HC800 rated at 950 amps. I just found a upgrade 75amp alternator and a guy who will wind it to 120amp output to drop in place of the 55amp unit. I am going to be High Voltage! The totall draw on my stereo install will be about 120 amps at peak. I am keeping my amplifiers but building a different cabinet for the rear trunk. It will house both amps and the 800 power cell. I am ditching both capacitors that were in the trunk. The wiring will be upgraded from the alternator (Jeff Bowlsby) and I will run "0" guage from the batterys to hook togeather + to + and - to -. I will also add a few more heavy grounds from each battery to chasis and from chasis to engine. Yes there will be multiple inline fuses on the positive leads. (saftey first) I will update this thread with pics and progress as i go. (any comments) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |

Now that they match, I painted the pulley so it would be pretty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

The Bolt was a little tight so had to be adjusted (with the hacksaw)

The Final result, looks almost stock and fits exactly like the old one, with the new rubber boot it fit perfectly.

Any way you could have kept the cooling fins? Would seem like a good idea ....

QUOTE(SirAndy @ Jan 12 2010, 12:14 PM)  Any way you could have kept the cooling fins? Would seem like a good idea .... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Andy There is alt. tin for the 70 amp alt. style which also hads the pulley fan, basically the 120 amp. alt is a 70 amp alt. wound to 120 amp. (vw bus bosch alt.s) The 55 amp alt. style (stock 914 and some 75 amp alt.s same body desighn) does not have the fan and the tin is diffent and will not work with the fan impeller.. Both tin styles can be found at Samba or elsewhere.. The 55 alt. tin has a smaller opening which will rub on the fan blades, where the 70 amp alt. tin has a larger opening to accomadate the fan blades.. both will mount directly to the 914 stock allighnments.. |

Why are you running two different batteries? One is 1800, the other 800.
