Upgraded charging on a type 3

Post by broady_6 » 29th August 2018 - 10:09pm

So a friend of mine his using a type 3 engine in his hot rod which also runs an amplifier and subwoofer. hes had one or two flat battery issues. I was certain I had seen a dynernator which would help retain the original engine look but provide a better charging current. Its taken me a little whike, but I found it.

Should anyone think of upgrading (I know the price is high) but if you dont want to modify your engine bay this is what you need.

I'd like to see him fit that sound system in a Prius and see the range drop :badgrin:

No, it's just my prejudice against modern / electric cars showing through

It's worth every page, there isn't a detail missed.and its still not finished! And and, the ride is better than the type 3. No bone jaring or teeth shattering that most people expect of a hot rod
