    kaya ako naging suki ng alternator shop ko sa quirino avenue, kasi sila nagsabi sa akin nun....tsaka suki na din ng dad ho..hehehe, swerte lang ako sa alternator, galing benz diesel kaya 90-120AH!

    so far, mga 10 years ko na ginagamit yung surplus na alternator na yun..sulit na sulit....kaya lahat ng electrical probs ko na di ko madiagnose dun ko pinapagawa tried and tested...

    so leds are a good idea. maganda pala palitan mga stock bulbs ko ng leds para at least may ma-offload sa alternator kahit konti.

    aside from led bulbs, what else?

    HID...

    have an all-in-1 AV or audio system...

    removing those unnecessary amplifiers, x-overs, neons, tv monitors, wangwang, busina, basta lahat ng extra accessories na luho na....

    sir Drey nalito ako, diba ang thread ay it's all about unloading the alternator?
    since yong stock alternator ay designed don sa stock loads so there's no need to unload diba + the tolerance kaya pwede kapa actually magdagdag.kasi its within the capacity nya yong mga susuplyan nya.now kung gusto mopa mag unload i suggest i under rate mo lahat ng accessories like the one you are suggesting, changing the bulbs to LED's.

    I was thinking kasi, the lesser the alternator generates power maybe it will give you a lesser idle which might also give you better FC.

    Many people have enjoyed even getting 5% more fuel mileage.

    What my Liteace have right now are 11 year old bulbs... It may no longer be efficient and as technology goes farther to improve efficiency of electricity and longer life just like LED's, siguro may application din ito for our vehicles.

    I don't think na madadagdagan ang load, kasi 1.5v lang ang LED's sa pagkakaalam ko.

    basta huwag ka lang gagaya dun sa mga jeepneys na pumapasada ng walang ilaw sa gabi hehehehe! para daw tipid sa crudo kaya di nila on ang ilaw. tipid nga sa diesel, takaw aksidente naman.

    imho, yung mga lights sa cabin e minsan lang naman ginagamit, di na need palitan ng led mga yun. just keep them off.

    cabin LED lights--iba yun sa labas.. malalaman mo yun..ngayon depende sa car/vehicle kung anu cabin light--may peanut, may parang maliit na tube, may bago ngayon na 5-14LED for the cabin light, etc....pero, as i said kanina, and as i shown--LED are good as markers, but LEDs cannot match the illumination of a standard bulb... thats why in my cabin, i use my polarg white bulbs... i have LEDs 2, but i replaced it with the polarg becuse it gave me and my passengers a hard time reading maps at night.pag nagkita tayo i'll show it to you.

    basta:

    1. LEDs and HID's--pwede mo HID are: front-rear fogs(kasi di mo naman ginagamit sa flash) and low beam(for quad light set-up..pag double filament(H4,etc) wag ka HID--maawa ka sa kasalubong

    2. good wiring and grounding

    3. remove any unecessary electrical components like ampli, xovers, subs, 2nd -Nth monitor...

    4.horn--well, just have a relay..having 1 is right, 2 if--you have a stock and an airhorn or mitsuba turbine(elephant horn)--para may casual at "pang-PUV" use...remove/forget the 3rd horn...

    5.opt to have an all-in one AV or audio system..

    6.forget intalling neons and the like

    kala kasi ng mga jeepney driver may sensor yung makina nila sa electrical load. na tataas ang idling kapag bukas ang ilaw he he

    may testet talaga ang mga electrical and/or battery shops-- malaki yun will simulate starter load...

    healthy battery and alternator will give nga atleast 12.5V at full load(a/c, high beam, fogs,etc..)

    ginagawa ko to check--start, tapos tap ako ng VOM sa battery.. dapat mahigit 12V yan automatic, 14.5-14.7V dapat, depende sa laki(not dimesions, but capacity) ng alternator mo (mines 90AH at idle)..

    pag nag tap ka ng VOM sa battery mo at running pa engine mo and nagregister lang ng 12.5V wala pang ibang buhay, aba pacheck mo na sa electrician/battery shop...kasi no laod palang 12.5v na, e paano pa pag nag buhay ka pa ng aircon..pag nag 11.9 yan sure na yan may prob isa sa 2 major component: alternator or battery.

    2 or 3 lang naman yan usually,e---1. battery di na tumatangap ng karga, 2. alternator di na maganda ang karga(sunog na yung windings sa loob) or 3. busted yung regulator( kung IC regulator, medyo mahal palitan than old-school regulator.)

    most new regulators are IC-type na.. mas maganda kasi mag regulate..

    and nga pala, pag naging 15V pataas ang reading mo, pacheck mo agad yan--sisirain nyan batterya mo, in some instance lolobo, worst pumutok(awaw ng dyos wala pang naputok na baterya sa amin dito--lumobo lang)

    hehehe somewhat OT na tayo dito,a.. hehehe
