High Amp Alternator, bolt in application Options

[McMark]

I needed a new alternator for the Turbo 1.7 car and with all of the upgrades I've done I thought I'd look around for a higher amperage unit to install. I know this has been done before, but I wanted something that was a more natural fit. And while I was looking, something with 'modern' technology would be nice.

I found a unit that looked promising and took the leap. It's a built to order, made in the USA unit. It features a built in regulator for a single wire installation, and it's 150 amps (also available in 240 amp! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) ).

It finally arrived last week and holding it roughly in place nothing jumped out as a major problem, but there were a few tweaks to the housing. So a little trimming of the two mounting points, a bushing to reduce the pivot shaft diameter to 8mm, and drilling the top mount to 8mm it fits perfectly. Works just like an original unit, has MORE clearance than a stock unit although it weighs quite a bit more. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I want to get this installed in my car before I make any promises, but this is looking like a REALLY easy upgrade. NO MORE VOLTAGE REGULATOR!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
