OMG, the generator of my bus conversion produced about 18 Volts of current. What the hell. (Calm down)
One week after my last posting here, I want to tell you that my dad has started the thing for the first time and we have moved the car around the village. During that time we drove, our voltmeter caught our attention. It showed over 16 Volt from the generator. For a car like this it's high. A normal generator produces 14 Volts for a 12 Volt battery.
We've replaced the regulator twice for the generator and it works now fine. Driven about 7 km / 4 miles today with the bus, the new engine sounds now less loud, is cleaner and has a lower mileage. What is now left is the legal stuff which includes the correction of paperwork.
If you have a faulty JX engine, go and replace it with a golf Diesel motor.
The AAZ has a total of 74 HP, while the JX has only 68 HP. If you combine the AAZ with a 5 gear box, you can drive over 100 KPH (so 60 MPH).
This post concludes the replacement process. Images from the last few days will be put in the next few days.
We will include all images into a slideshow.
Thank you and see you on Youtube.
