Hey all,
recently joined up to the forums.
My car has been overcharging pretty bad lately and it has also been cutting out which i think could be due to this overcharging.
The car is a c35 laurel with a s1 rb25det, fairly standard motor, has :
fmic
2.5" exhaust straight through
greddy knock off ffp
hdi ebc
battery relocated to boot
its been cutting out randomly, doesnt matter what revs or if its under load etc, and then sometimes is a prick to start again like the batterys dead but other times comes back to life straight away while the cars still rolling.
it had been overcharging really bad, around 15.5, so i changed the alternator and it was still cutting out and overcharging. i also put in a mates alternator that was working fine when in his car but when in my car it is still overcharging and cutting.
ive grounded the battery in my boot to the chassis and added another ground wire to the alternator, i also put my battery back under the engine bay to see if my relocating had done something but alas it was still doin all the same things.
Anyone have any ideas at all to what my car could be doin and how to fix it?
cheers
