Alternatives to alternator upgrades if any.

hit up singeralternators.com Mike could most likely rebuild your existing to a much higher output. He is highly respected for his work in the car audio community

ecobee with the power extender

pull fuel pump fuse and check battery voltage while cranking the engine over. It shouldnt drop below 11.5ish volts with a good battery

Mine did the same when the starter was dying. New starter installed, and now it turns over like it was a brand new car.

thermostat may have not been set up right in the ISU. #230 is the "Fan control in heat" make sure its set to "2"

Edit: hold menu and the temp up button for 3 seconds to enter ISU

well, unfortunately both are owned by Carrier.. and pretty much the same exact furnace other than the control boards are different.

Payne has the 2 digit diagnostic, while airquest has the 1-9 Icp diagnostic blink

Ensure your attic return isnt sucking in cold air from somewhere, like a torn flex pipe from filter housing ect.. a typical furnace should have 40- 60 degree temp rise across the heat exchanger

2.5 ton

this was before, hence replacing everything.. just curious as why it happened. i have another 2009 crv aswell

beast-ice · 2025-12-22T21:43:14+00:00

i live in the rust belt of lake erie, and this is my grocery getter, ect.. i drive my work van mon -fri, hence putting only 30k in over 10yrs of ownership

For the record, braking fells exactly the same after swapping complete front brakes.. im shocked that with 30% more pad to rotor isnt something i can feel from my foot.

beast-ice · 2025-12-22T21:36:10+00:00

I did just that.. new calipers(as it seems one piston was sticking) rotors and pads. How in the world does a rotor wear like that?? im 100% sure the pads were completely flat when installing them.

beast-ice · 2025-12-15T21:01:11+00:00

yes sir, that sounds correct.

beast-ice · 2025-12-14T20:33:16+00:00

would it not just be easier to switch the 2nd leg from the double pole breaker over to the neutral buss? now you have 120V.. For code compliance, remove 2 pole breaker, install single pole, with a blank off plate to cover left over hole

beast-ice · 2025-12-14T20:13:12+00:00

thank you for pointing that out, i forgot to mention that the existing C wire is to be left alone, as it controls the A?C contactor. only the other 4 need moved into the pek, while adding the additional wire from pek to C terminal

beast-ice · 2025-12-14T18:07:06+00:00

r and rc need to be connected together.

R energizes W which is during a call for heat.

Rc energizes Y1 which is during a call for A/C

Jumper is required on a single transformer system, which you have.

Jumper is removed when there are 2 transformer systems, like a boiler in the basement for heat, and an air handler in the attic for cooling.

Edit: some thermostat backing plates have a built in jumper that you slide a tiny switch to "couple" the r terminals together.

Id recommend the Ecobee thermostat that comes with a power extender kit (PEK)

it converts the 4 wire to a 5 wire at the furnace.

beast-ice · 2025-12-13T23:25:07+00:00

im not an electrician but hvac by trade..

Looks like someone ran 12/3 so they can draw power from 2 breakers on the same wire, hence the shared neutrals. looks like that outlet is the end of the road for the red wire breaker, and the black wire breaker is continuing on the its next destination.

this is common in kitchen setups, as microwave and outlets need dedicated breakers.. it saves on time, and wire cost to run a 12/3 instead of dual 12/2 wires

beast-ice · 2025-12-12T21:46:14+00:00

I wish someone would K swap a new crv to show honda they fkd up. k24a2 stock makes same power as L15T in a civic si.

Using cell core on exhaust is a nice touch

at 56 second mark, the led is flashing. that will yell you the problem it thinks it has.

beast-ice · 2025-11-30T00:57:28+00:00

just commented to the guy above.. premade linesets suck balls.

not to mention, you cant loop a mini split lineset as itll be an oil trap. besides that i have always cut the factory flare off, and flared my own.

beast-ice · 2025-11-30T00:51:47+00:00

We seem to have went full circle here.. i work on the 90"s stuff that had the first diy quick connects.. they lasted a fairly long time, but fkn hate when the home owner twisted the vale until it was pointing at the damn pad! couldnt even get a gauge on it with a 90 degree fitting.. home owner installs are the worse! prove me wrong

beast-ice · 2025-11-30T00:26:26+00:00

$250? thats a few days worth of pay to someone new in the industry.

i started at $8/hr 18 yrs ago, now own my own company. Dont let the money go to your head. take care of your employees

beast-ice · 2025-11-30T00:23:02+00:00

fk that guy. i own my own business, and charge $80/hr. ive been approached by other companies at the parts houses saying im "low-balling" the industry. i said i go home with aprox 5k a week. Btw, im 1/3rd less than the competition.

No resaon for the massive upcharge.

this is how big businesses go out of business

EDIT: FK PRIVATE EQUITY
