What is the voltage output for a 90 watt alternator? Is there a Higher Output Voltage Regulator available? I have tried a battery isolator and the relay system...
Hi David,I have a vast experience with axle lenght and 930 cv's,from all of the desert race cars I have built. So I will share what I know in hope it will...
The Bosch alternators for Vanagons are 14 volt nominal. You need to measure this right at the alternator output stud. If yours is much less than this at that...
The voltage output is set by the regulator built into the alternator and does not ever fully charge the main battery in normal commuting driving but does get a...
13.8 volts is common and 'nominal'. I think I'm out of them right now, but I have sold solid state adjustable voltage regulators for Bosch alternators. The guy...
The coach battery is an Optima Yellow Top. I will check my output but I would like to be able to get 14.5v. Thanka In a message dated 1/1/2009 7:42:40 P.M....
You can get the adjustable regulators from this place. Our Syncros use an AL33X model alternator, 28mm type. http://www.davebarton.com/AdjustableVoltage.html ...
Thanks for the advice! As this is going from a transfer case to a pinion input, the physical placement of everything is a little different than if it was...
Which type would you suggest; the internal or the external regulator.? Thanks. John In a message dated 1/1/2009 8:32:53 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, ...
Ok, so the 2 holes at the bottom of the side cladding . . . Can ANYONE offer any explanations as to why or how those could get broken? I noticed when I got...
I have only used the internal type but either one would work. I just don't want to worry about the wires of the external type. There is not a lot of room to...
What is the URL to get one? John In a message dated 1/2/2009 7:34:12 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, mdrillock@... writes: I have only used the internal type...
Hi Is such upgrade available? I really don't understand how the originals are supposed to work so that there would be no play in the bearing. My bearings are...
Subject says it all. I'm thinking about making the plunge again, will be my 3rd full syncro Westy over the years. My problem and paradigm is that my last two...
"Probably" is worth the $19K. But it would need a reputable shop appraisal to be sure. Remember that if you were to have someone other than Go Westy do what...
Hi John, Well their still out there ! In fact, just picked up a 87 Westy Syncro for $7500 With an Almost New VW Rebuilt Long Block ( with Receipt ;o) !!! That...
Well the professional VW mechanic for work is me, and although time is limited I work cheap. I have 2 complete sets of running gear for this van including one...
I tried both types from this source and the external is by far a much better option. I presently have it on my Syncro, one suggestion - get a couple spare...
I have my upper control arms removed. I expected to see the bonded bushings welded to them, and grind them off but I can see any weld? Where should I be...
I've changed tons of those bushings and never seen any that come from the factory welded in place. They are just pressed in. Burley ... From: Eddie Goodwin...
Why do you feel the external regulator is superior? I am partial to the external regulator myself, as it seems better for cold weather driving, but would like...
Hi...Thanks to all that replied to the thermostat question recently. To recap, new 2.1 motor in the '87 Syncro and what appears to be high temps on the coolant...
That sounds good Joe. I should be able to make it. I'd enjoy seeing your Zetec engine and saying hi to the Boulder folks. Dave in Denver ... Bump, for a...
I've have seen a few bushings welded to the two wheel drive stamped sheet metal control arms only. They appeared to be original. Just a small spot weld...
Hmmm, I have a Blue Sky solar regulator in my van, which is supposed to work along those lines, i.e. Stepping up the input voltage if necessary. Any reason why...
