Message	It's actually around 60%. Did you read the last section? Anyway, this only has to do with the power lost from the alternator operation itself. The power loss I'm referring to is the lack of spark for the combustion at low to mid RPMs due to to much current load on the system at the lower RPMs where the alternator is unable to keep up. The article doesn't cover loss of combustion power due to low spark but that's what I'm trying explain. You need as much current as possible at those low to mid RPMs or you're going to loose a lot of horsepower during combustion. Have you ever changed a really bad set of spark plugs and found you had a lot of power after you did? This is because you provided a better spark. You can loose that spark in a poor electrical system just as bad. www.mytwinturbo.com Nissan Data Voice - The first Nissan diagnostic software with a voice!

Pretty much what I was going to post. (n/m) - MixManMash 16:53:51 05/07/14 What current does the stock FP draw? - -Grimm- 16:56:23 05/07/14 The setups will not be identical. - DVDBURN (MD) 18:01:04 05/07/14 From the referenced article: - -Grimm- 09:42:27 05/08/14 The alternator will never be 100% efficient. - DVDBURN (MD) 16:13:35 05/08/14 Yeah, I used their 60% - -Grimm- 17:45:54 05/08/14 would an overdrive alternator pully help? (n/m) - LivinTheDream 22:30:48 05/08/14 It would help your output in the lower RPM - -Grimm- 12:03:37 05/09/14 The Z ecu will not get enuff voltage at idle with 2pumps - The Devils Z 22:50:55 05/07/14 Yeah? And? - DVDBURN (MD) 16:35:13 05/08/14 Re: This is a good read on fuel control. - Madhatter10-6 09:30:06 05/08/14 Ah OK. Thats good to know. (n/m) - DVDBURN (MD) 16:37:35 05/08/14 Technically, the FPC is not adjusting to various voltage - MixManMash 16:55:38 05/07/14 you just took his word for it without asking why? - aliaZ 18:50:28 05/07/14 I see another drawback : - Dark Diver 07:56:37 05/08/14 I may sound crazy but..... - Zvil (FL) 10:03:40 05/08/14 I used to feel the same thing when I used to top off - DVDBURN (MD) 16:44:41 05/08/14 Anyone ever installed a fuel cooler? - -Grimm- 17:47:06 05/08/14 I'm willing to give it a try..... if only there was a way to - Zvil (FL) 07:31:59 05/09/14 G force meter? - -Grimm- 12:04:56 05/09/14 so what you're saying is the amount of time - Zvil (FL) 15:47:34 05/09/14
