To accommodate the new oil cooler the alternator had to be moved back to the right-hand side of the engine. This wasn’t a concern as moving the radiator to the left side did not help the alternator overheating issue. A forced air-cooling system has been installed to enable the alternator to supply the electrical current required for charging the system battery when the car is stationary.
A 3” inline blower draws cool air from behind the bumper (but in front of the radiator). This blows air through a 3” SCAT tubing into some custom ducting, then into the OEM alternator shroud. This channels cool air onto the rectifier and voltage regulator on the back of the alternator which has been overheating and causing the alternator to cycle out.
