Anyone here run a 16v setup in their car? I just got my hands on a 16v alternator and will be ordering a 14v battery. I wired from the alt to the battery in 0 gauge, ordered two regulators for the ecu to only see 12v and 14v at the respective pinouts. I am wondering if there is anything else in a 90s car that would hate 16v. I might do the taillights so they are not bright as fuck.
For what purpose.
>>28931791If you want a more powerful battery, just buy a nice lithium car battery.Those usually have a steady state charge of 14.4+ volts and are super powerful.
>>28931797The difference in behavior of the car at 14.x volts vs 12.x is astounding. It's like every aspect of its personality is on roids. I see people are running 16v for drag only cars, so my thought was why not make the system operate between 16 and 14v always rather than 14x and 12.5. No foul, only gain.
>>28931815What aspects? Nothing in your car uses motors except the fuel pump, but you're not a 15 liter car running alcohol.
>>28931819I run a 2345a.The personality of the car positively increases with voltage. I wish for 16v at best and 14v at worse rather than 14.x at best and 12.x at worse.
>>28931841Well that pump requires 16v, so why are you asking /o/. And why does your renault need a 250gph fuel pump.
>>28931815>>28931841>it's better because it just isIn what way lmao?
>>28931815How stupid are you?Cars aren't actually "12 volts".If an alternator is running at under 13.7v, its bad.Conversely, overvolting will damage components. Theres a ballast resistor on your ignition coil that drops voltage down to about 9v. Its bypassed during starting so your coil receives maximum voltage but when running the nominal 14.4v of a standard system will overheat and fry a coil.You should really study automotive science more before you frankenfuck your wagie transporter pod.
>>28931791get a lifepo4 battery, but better performance (note: the chinkshit ones, aka all of them, die after 1-3 years). You can immediately notice an improvement in cranking.
>>2893179116 volts? Go for 25V Why stop now? Go big or go home
>>28932076>>28931841How stupid are you? Your reading comprehension shows nonexistent at times.A ballast resistor? It's not a fucking model T.
>>28931791Say what nigga?Zener diodes act as voltage regulators within even basic circuits.There's no benefit here.
>>28931791yeah i have 16 valves
>>28932997the words of a person that doesnt have a car.
>>28932076>Theres a ballast resistoranon i don't think OP has an old mopar lol
>>28931791Lithium bats are all 14.5V or greater Just get one of those.
