Re: Gen V Swap Alternator
old thread, just adding information for others
My stock alternator settings did the same thing. Sometimes the gauge was 13 volts - ish.... others would be below 12 on the gauge... annoying.... then came across some info
HPTuners required
go to
System Tab / General
Fuel System Voltage Min
Set this to the desired Voltage output. In one of my swaps 2006 BMW x5, I have it set to 14v, and it outputs 13.6v. So tweak it as needed
Fuel System Delay : delays the alternator commanded on voltage for however long you set this delay to. I give it 10 seconds, think it was a factory value just so its not loading the engine right on startup.
