Hi,
I did a datalog of the car and noticed that my bat volts were at 12.6 at 6300rpms:
I never thought anything of it because my car idles at 14 volts all the time. It's just at WOT, it'll hit 12.
I ran out with my battery tester and the battery is fine, pass the load test.
But when I turned the car on to check the charging system I saw this at idle:
This looked fine to me too.
Then I put a load on it, and I got this:
The needle fell right out of the charging system range.
The car starts up fine, I don't have any battery lights or headlight flicker. The only problem I see is the bat volts at WOT and....also take a look at my injector duty cycle and fuel pump duty cycle. They're in the 90's on a stock supercharger pulley. I'm wondering if the fuel pump is not getting enough volts and due to that, the duty cycle is going up and the fuel injectors are also going up to compensate for this.
What do you guys think?
