sqcomp · 10-14-2009, 02:02 PM

We're looking at the stock vs the Iraggi alternator?

The Architect · 10-14-2009, 05:18 PM

yea

goku87 · 10-14-2009, 07:04 PM

stick it in already!!!

The Architect · 10-14-2009, 07:24 PM

those pics arent ones i took, those were sent from iraggi to me to show comparison.

it was suppose to ship today but i didnt get an email saying that so idk.

goku87 · 10-14-2009, 10:26 PM

UGH!!!

The suspense = annoying lol

sqcomp · 10-15-2009, 01:52 AM

I'm very interested to see actual fitment and this issues (if any) with that fitment. Which rating of alternator did you get again?

The Architect · 10-15-2009, 07:34 AM

300A, The mounting points will be the same (supposedly) but the actual casing will be .5" larger (1/4" each side) in diameter in some areas.

With eyeballing and minor measuring I did it should fit okay.

The Architect · 10-15-2009, 01:01 PM

" All finished last nite. Shipping out this afternoon.
If this one doesnt work for some reason we will figure out what needs to be done so it does work. Whether it be a different housing or making some mods to existing one.

Thanks, It has been a pleasure.

sometime next week we'll see

sqcomp · 10-15-2009, 01:41 PM

looks like good customer support...

The interest is increasing on my side. I could sure use a 240 Ampere alternator for my setup. Well...I'm subscribed to this one, let's see what happens.

Slick · 10-15-2009, 05:10 PM

Yes, the excitement is killing me. Oh the potential. (goes into wet dream)...

The Architect · 10-15-2009, 05:12 PM

customer support is amazing with this guy.

After reading the yaris repair manual that's on yw around here somewhere I'm pretty confident I can do the swap myself and save a load of money. It shows for the most part how to remove the alt and the belt.

sqcomp · 10-16-2009, 05:31 AM

Yeah, I have that part downloaded, printed and am queing it to do the replacement at the shop after I see how your experience turns out.

...No pressure...

talnlnky · 10-16-2009, 06:55 PM

yeah.... toyota put the alt in a NICE place..... my mazda hid it below the engine... and without a shop style jack/lift it would've been near impossible to get out without removing the engine.

The Architect · 10-16-2009, 09:11 PM

just got the tracking and he sent it 2 day air which is awesome.

on the other hand getting my money back from DC Power is turning out to be a huge pain in the ass.

They got the alt back a week ago and the owner (robbie) just seems to never be able to talk or call me back or he happens to be out doing everything but handling business.

the other only guy (dave) that works there who I actually got a hold of today has a slight attitude when it comes to my order because apparently they think they can do no wrong and the Toyota Diagnostic Tech must have been stupid or something.

Dave said "yea youre the one who the toyota tech wouldnt install the alternator" when its more like he couldnt because it was just plain wrong.

So now Im waiting til monday to hear back from robbie which is a joke.....seriously fk these guys
