Mechman/Billet-Tech Alternators

[BayAreaTech]

Hi SVTP. I know I need an alternator and im not one to cheap out on my car so price is not an issue. Problem be that I am on the fence between the Nations externally regulated and Billet tech 170a Alternator. My mind is almost made up on the Billet Tech but was wondering how many of you have already purchased one of this? Im looking for any feedback on the Billet Tech :shrug:

 

[BayAreaTech]

anyone

Sorry, not the feedback your looking for... but

Why not Start-N-Charge? Jamie sells the 160 amp with upgraded power wire for $334 shipped.

not interested in those. I have seen those fail too along with all the eBay ones. I would not trust anything but the ones I listed, from hrs of research, forum feedback and personal experience.

might just be since im ordering soon. I know a few have ordered it just wanted there feedback. At the track a bunch of guys run the Nation's and even the mechman but their new Billet Tech line is their high tech stuff.

You can't go wrong with a Nation's and external regulator, Adam at nation's will let you know what you need. At the track ppl swear by it and love it and have been running it for years, however it requires a bracket be drilled out after some measurement from a piece of flat stock and it has a smaller pulley therefore you need a shorter belt, still top of the line. Same thing goes for the Mechman units however they are direct fit with stock pulley, and there Billet Tech line is even better and still direct fit, stock pulley and requires no external regulator because of there cooler running efficiency and up to 20,000rpm if need to, but comes with a hefty price. Regardless im still ordering it, but it's nice hearing from others.

We have a lot of talk about these alternators but I want to see people reporting about putting miles on these things. Don't care about the weekend racers either. I want to see some miles!
