When compared to my older stock alternator, they appear to weigh the same. However, the new alternator lacks a heat shield, which could be an improvement in design. 

I have been wanting to do a battery disconnect switch for a while and this project has motivated me to do it. I had to order one that had a high continuous amp ratting for the new alternator setup.

🔋 4. Performance at Low RPM

• Idle output: Important for vehicles that idle frequently (like work trucks or off-roaders).
  
  

• Check performance curves if available.
  
  

🏗️ 5. Build Quality and Durability

• Brand reputation
  
  

• Bearings, windings, and casing quality
  
  

• Cooling: Air-cooled

NEED PICTURE OF PRICE ON 2 WAY O AWG TO 2 4 AWG

Find how you made the fuse block mounting brackets if possible.

find more videos of the 8 awg wire that goes to the fusebox

I later used a 250 AMP fuse - since the alternator pushes 220 amps 

Now I am actually mounting the bracket onto the plywood that was used to build my custom trunk encloser for the subwoofer and air ride. 

it will be plugged up to the regular alternator for now.

There was only one screw I needed to take out and re-use to mount the heat shield. 

"So if you are woundering why I am running wire in the car it is because I relocated my battery to the trunk for engine detail and space."

" The OBD 1Dionostic box is in the way so I rotated the mounting bracket so it would align right under the fuse box.

"Now when I do the motor swap the car is ready for the high output alternator"

" I am mounting the fuse in the back of the car closest to the battery. This will allow it to protect most of the wire running through the car just incase the wire gets damaged and shorts out."

"I taped my new wire to the old 4 AWG wire to pull it through the firewall."

"I will be using this alternator for my $40KLDE build

"The screw was in there to stay, so we used a chisel and hamer to back the screw out."

"Since this is peel and stick, I don't know how well the adhesive will hold up over time so I am using pop rivets for extra security."

"I have had alot of electronic accessories added to the vehicle over the time" and some of them pull alot of amps more than others. With my air ride compressors coming in at 60 amps , my amp and 40, and zex at 10 and so on and so on."

"Now, this mystery device is not necessary, but I will have another video coming up about it." 

"I am cutting up the carpet so it doesn't tangle in the drill or screws." 

"The OEM alternator wire passes through the fuse box with a 100-amp fuse, but I will not be using that pathway for the new setup." 

"Since the wire harness bracket had a little rust, I sprayed it black and finished it with a clear coat." 

"To match the OEM wire path coming off the alternator, I will need to bend the wire terminal end at a 90-degree angle." 

"This heat shield is not only a little too long, but it is also a little too loose around the wire. I am using metal zip ties to hold it snugly to the harness." 

"Stinger Audio has been making great power components since the early 2000s. I have been using their products for years. Today, they are starting to become discounted. All top-of-the-line Stinger products come in nice packaging. The only downside is that they do not include fasteners." 

"I will be using the two-way splitter for the starter wire and the main fuse box circuit."
