16v system

Post by MM887 »

Any issues going with a 16v setup battery only vs a 12v system and alternator? Track only car, fighting alternator charging noise issues...Only solution i have found this far is running a noise filter between the alternator charge wire and battery + post

Car runs mint without ALT charging, grounds moved and changed several, several times..No change. Thanks!

I *think* the voltage regulator is good to 22v,but it will run quite a bit hotter; watch your heat sinking on that component. The other components of the MS either should be rugged enough not to care or are being fed 5v from the regulator. What you do need to check is the voltage ratings of the coils and injectors; they may not appreciate the extra volts.
