SR alternator not charging

[flamebag16]

Heres the deal have s14 Sr20det modified ka24det alternator to bolt up (drill out top hole and swap pulleys)

when car is running alternator only reads 11.4ish volts

checked alternator at auto zone on machine says all is well charges 15v bla bla bla works proper

made sure everything is plugged in etc etc

no batt light on dash does not come on

any ideas?

check for resistance in the alternator wiring. Or maybe the diode trio is the back is jacked and moving it around caused it to work better.

put it back on car still not working checked all connections all fuses relays used multimeters on wires everything is good meh leading me to believe alternator is bad and bench test gave wrong results

more than likely it's bad. 11.4volts is not sufficient to charge the battery

I ran into a similar problem, all it ended up being was I needed to clean my battery connection. There wasn't sufficient contact at the battery, in other words. It may seem trivial, but it bit me in the butt once.
