Metro mpg, thanks for these links.

a homemade version of this would push us very far, with the deep cycle battery of course.

if engine will no longer be driving the alternator, you can delete the water pump too in place of an electric one without worrying as much about the ewp power consumption.

its nice to delete the alt AND the water pump leaving a de-loaded engine and still have electric power to power the accessories.

for now we'll just disable the power steering and leave the a/c off.

the question is whats the best way to do this...
I'd think to take the stock pully from the alternator and put it on the turbo(we'll figure out how) then we put a larger diameter pully (like a crankshaft pully size) onto the alternator , and now run a belt between the two. there are many types of belts available, that you can custom cut as necessary- like the leather commercial sewing machine belts that u cut to size and they go together with a metal hook (and they last for years on a commercial sewing machine, perhaps 3months on a turbo but thats enough to start us off (-and i'll bet these are avail in rubber too for longer life)

now with some aeromods and we will be bragging cuz the p&g will be waaay better cuz theres no power being sucked off the pulses by the alternator AND water pump. etc. etc.

sounds awesome, but if it is indeed so, then
how come noone has done this?

ok, where's the part that i'm missing.... if anyone can shed light I'd be appreciative.
