Alternator Delete Testing
Did some AB testing today on my alternator delete.
SB_____NB
58.1___72.1_A
60.7___71.9_A
61.7___75.6_A
61.2___75.5_B
60.6___78.3_B
61.3___82.3_B
Average of A runs is 66.67
Average of B runs is 69.85
For a 5% increase in MPG with the alternator disconnected. I unplugged it and removed the belt for a total alternator delete. It should be noted for those who don't already know that the Civic alternator is already pretty efficient, it has I think two or three different charge modes and adjusts its output to only what is needed. So a 5% increase is pretty good. I would have done another A run after but a state cop pulled up in the middle of the highway at the end of my B run. I was not doing anything illegal, but I am sure that if he saw the same weird car drive by 6 times he might pull me over just to see what I was doing.
