84-85 volt booster

[Lee Thompson]

I had Caspers build an 84-85 volt booster for me years ago. It needs a new home now. I believe I paid $80-90 for it. I did use it untill I went intercooled.
$50 shipped.
Look @ the pic of the alternator end as I had a later model alt. @ that time. Same as an 86-87 end. You will have to change the end or if you have a later alt. that it will work with. I don't have an 84-85 end or I would put it on. Thanks

Thanks

what do you have to do to make the 86/87 voltbooster work on 84/85 cars

 

[Lee Thompson]

not positive but

I would imagine just switch the 2 outer wire where it plugs into the alternator as the 85 works just backwards to the 87.

I converted to to the 87 IGN using the Caspers adapter. The Caspers IGN hot wire kit simply bolts on. You plug the hot wire adapter into the 87coil and into the Caspers 85 to 87 conversion adapter. Brad

The volt booster won't work for the hot air cars. The regulator part of the alternator is a different design and the TPS works opposite.

You would need to use an 87 alternator on an 85 car, and then rewire the TPS connections to make it work properly.

I'm not sure if the length is enough to reach between the TPS in the rear of the engine and the alternator.

I now know why I saw no change when I put on the Caspers 87 IGN hotwire kit. Another $80 pissed away on my POS. When global warming returns I will remove it. Thanks-Brad

I have a custom made intake similar to 86/87 with the same tps as the 86/87 so I'm good on that part but I'm just confused on how to wire the alt plug to make it excite the regulater to make it charge

That hotwire kit for the CCCI is not related to the volt booster. The booster is for increasing the SYSTEM voltage, where the CCCI kit places a higher voltage (and current) directly to the coils. If you're using the 85 coil, the spark will be considerably hotter with the kit, as the OEM wiring puts a resistor wire before the coils, further reducing the potential at the coils. The hotwire kit side-steps the resistor.

I have an 87 coil. Does the kit I have bypass the resistor on my 85? Thanks. Brad
