motor build?

Thank you for contacting Haltech USA about your Mazda protg. In
order to control alternator output, you must enable alternator control on
one of the DPO outputs. This will allow you to set the proper settings for
your alternator control in the alternator control tab.

Her is an excerpt from our help file: Some Mazda alternators require
a PWM signal to regulate alternator output voltage. This feature allows the
ECU to control the PWM output to achieve the desired alternator output
voltage (Actual alternator control values from a NB Mazda Miata MX5).

Frequency - The frequency required to control the given alternator.
Start Duty - This is the duty cycle that is close to the duty required to
deliver the proposed target voltage.
Minimum Duty - The minimum output duty.
Maximum Duty - The maximum output duty.
Gain - Controls the sensitivity of the control system, the larger the gain
the larger the change in duty when there is an error between the actual
battery voltage and the desired battery voltage. Setting this too high will
result in too much ripple or pulsation in the output voltage. Setting this
too low will result in large error when electrical load varies from minimum
to maximum, such as the difference with headlights on.

The questions about how to provide alternator control on your car is
difficult to answer due to a lack of vehicle specific information available.
You will be responsible to figure out which wire should be hooked to the ECU
and what the proper settings should be.

Good luck with your project and please let me know if I can be of
any further assistance.

Looks good. If you can't manage to get the Haltexh to control your alternator, consider running an internally regulated one off a 626 or something.

Ya ill do that if i have to. I was hoping there was a way to make the stock obe work though. Are you running a 626 one for your car?

Bump got the transmission off. Bell housing was missing the holds the main seal in place along with the seal. Clutch is fine though. Should be up and running in no time.

 

[Maxx Mazda]

They forgot to install the main seal bracket???

rookie mistake...lol

Ya they s*** the bed big time at harbour auto. Rcts has done a good job though finding all these problems. This should be the last thing i hope and it should be running in no time. I hope they can get the alternator to work with the haltech.

Ya that shop messed up big time. Not to mention striiping a fitting on the intake manifold, getting a ton of metal shavings in my new oil pan luckily caught before oil was put in and the car started, not bolting up the rear engine mount and stripping that bolt too, punching a hole in the starter, not putting the timing belt cover back on what a stupid shop

Is there a way you can get some money back from them? Have your current shop note all the problems and try to take legal action. If that motor would've been started you would've been s*** out of luck with all those f ups

Man i wish. I talked to rcts and they say that harbour will just argue that the car wasent running. They said they highly doubt i will get anything. I might just go to harbour and ask them straight up how they ****** up so bad. Especially with metal shavings in the oil pan. Im pissed at that shop

 

[mazdaspeedp]

Bump. So transmission is allback in. Once i get this alternator figured out car will be going on the dyno and should be good to go

Post your experience with Harbour on the Beyond forums. Bet you'll get your money back.

I doubt its even worth it. Harbour is cheap there is no way ill get the money back. Karma will get harbour.

So now my awr oil pan is leaking. Seems like everything they make is garbage

I haven't had any problems with my motor mounts. I do recall seeing that the pans weren't fully welded so that could be part of it.

Seems like they were being lazy. Which is dissapointing since it was expensive. I have the awr mounts on my build too so i hope they hold up. I had problems with endlinks from awr in the past just snapping off after not very long only a few months. I also have tryed contacting awr 5 or 6 times and they never anwser back.

You won't get a hold of AWR. Their support is garbage. Most likely the pan is leaking at the welds. You can either RTV them on the inside, or have them re-welded.

 

[derrick1623]

I agree!

ya im having it re welded this week. What a bad company

I might be going down to there shop to go pick a oil pan soon for my speed.... Last time i was there they tried to sell a set of racing custom bilstein coilover without the spring and top hats for 2 grand.... I never laughed so hard i was like y'all serious 2 grand i gotta still buy part for them to use them pass
