Right, and many Porsche dealers here for technical support & parts too!

Your shop, right?

Install DC aircon systems there too?

He gets banned here on the regular...usually for two very specific hangups: capacitive discharge ignitions and air conditioning. It's wild.

Well, it looks like I need more than 55 amp alternator for my race car. This alternator looks like a fantastic product and I will be ordering one later this month.

Shaft and bearings rated to 18,000 RPM (alternator speed) so all good for race applications.

Of course, we load balance the power if both are on so the reality is about 3 HP max. That’s about half the HP that the old York AC compressors used.

Good evening,

Can you advise an approximate timeline that you may have the electric heat ready for purchase?
will the heat use the same blower as the AC system to work?

Looking forward to the innovation on this one!

Good to know! What are the shipping times from the UK to California these days?

I don't tend to think that racecars need that much (electrical) power? Many vintage cars don't even run charging systems and will run all day at a dead loss from the battery. Or it just a matter of the accumulated needs of loggers and ecus and twin plugs and cool shirt or whatever?

If I was racing I would be seriously concerned about reliability and I am sure the CR unit is one of the few choices you can make that's a known entity assembled properly with quality components.

Jonny - what is the weight of the alternator?

+1 for just enough electric heating element in the blower unit to take the chill off and de-mist the front windshield. 1000W should do it easily.

Paired with electric seat heaters (which are cheap, light, take up no room and apply heat directly to the body) this would be the ideal solution for heat in a 911 Hot Rod that will occasionally need to be driven on a cool morning or a rainy day.

Same page!! Heated seats and a little warmth to deal with the foggy windshield.

Heated seats and windshield are even better, no need to warm the cacin.

Usually 2-3 days. Occasionally snagged in US customs but generally that's on the larger shipments.

Well, when you factor in high power inductive ignition systems, ECUs, high pressure fuel pumps, cooler pumps, cooling fans, air compressors, cool shirt systems, etc., power needs tend to be large.

I am looking at the Classic Retrofit alternator precisely because it looks to be well made and will run cooler than any 3-phase Factory style alternator I could buy. I won't need 175 amps, but 55 amps is probably not enough and I wouldn't want run at near 100% capacity if it were.

Thanks! I will be ordering one next in 10 days or so.

JonnyH,
I've been through this thread once and would like to clarify.

Is the alternator on your site the same as the WOSP alternator available from Pelican?

Thanks in advance!

Yes it is but we supply the uprated power and ground cables with ours within the price.

Ordered!
