Went for a drive tonight to play some ping pong at a buddies house. Of course, it is still raining.
Despite that i made some light throttle pulls to redline and hit 12 pounds of boost. I forgot how much fun it is to drive my car and how much time I have put into tuning it.
Sadly, despite upgrading my fuel pump wiring i am still seeing a drop in batt voltage with boost and rpm. I have an NA alternator sitting in my garage so i will convert over to that before breaking out the meth and se if that fixes the voltsge crap out. I just want to drive my car for a few days before fuci g with it again.
Will tape camera to wheel tomorrow if not raining.

A NA alternator will only get you crappy results. They idle at ~13.2V, and can drop down to 12V just by having both fans switched on. You want an RX-7 FD alternator, which can output 100 amps, instead of the weak 65A of the NA alternator.

Much below this...With the a/c running and headlights on and stereo blasting music, I can get my voltage to drop to 11.5v where my LC-1 will then shutoff.
and it's only 60A. the Auto is 65A.
well the 1.6L one that is.
the 1.8L is 65A manual and 70A auto.
