Default hey guy this what you need to do

forget about a deep cycle battery ,forget about a cap, and just do the big 3 .,which is add and extra wire from the + battery terminal to the alt, add a bigger ground wire from the - terminal to the frame of the car, and also the body of the car .it makes the electrical circle complete make sure you use 4gauge wires

I turned the set screw on the TB so the idle was near 800. Helps a lot in traffic.

Default YA Ya

So Even with My 1jzgte i have had problems! I got a stinger Battery now and At first though i had all these techs from battery shops tell me it was the allternator and then the allternater techs telling me it was the batterie! So Finally a Allternator rebuild place to a look at it and said it was fine! So he tried making me a new pully that was smaller and now my problem is fixed! New pulley and my stinger Battery ! I had to go stinger because they are small ! A full size battery does not fit in my tray because of the up pipe from my front mount intercooler is i bit in the way!
