where is the link for the Big-3 Upgrade?

[sush]

hi,
my system is running a little low on voltage, i need to upgrade something. some guys suggested the Big3 Upgrade, but i cant find the link for it? anyone know where it is?

also, there is a stage 2 alternator voltage booster, made by ZZ Performance,

i know you can make the stage 1, yourself by putting a 1 amp diode in the circuit, how can you make the stage 2? is there a link for that somewhere?

thanks.

Not from the GAOC, but here's one for you ;)

As for the stage1/2 voltage regulator "hack" on the alternator I'm not sure what the difference is. You can ask them at ZZ Performance and they'll tell you I'm sure (because they tell you how to do stage 1). Just keep in mind that the stage 2 will fry most aftermarket head units and possibly other electronics gear if you have any.

If you have a problem "running a little low on voltage" then you probably have an alternator problem if nothing is loose/corroded/disconnected. Putting the diode on the alternator isn't going to fix it if it's already starting to fail.

thanks MantaGreen97,
its not a problem with the alternator, i have:
- a fast forward underdrive pulley upgrade
- and an over 1000watt rms sound system.

my battery voltage now is about 10.9-11.3, if stage 2 boosts it by 1 volt...it would be good. i got the alternator and the battery checked at the dealership, its a 2005 GA SE, those are still running ok, im just draining them more than i should.

i would like to do the Big 3 first, if that works, great.

i asked ZZ performance.... they told me to buy the stage 2 kit, they wouldn't tell me.... bastards. lol. i cant blame them. anyone know how? i think its 2 diodes in series, but i'm not willing to take the risk.

peace.
