I have been searching around this board for hints on what might make a better alternator.
So far I have read that the 30 year old alternators on our cars are prone to failure, and don't produce much power. But I have not read (or at least not yet) what the best replacement alternator is. So what is it? Ideally, i'd want something that bolted into the stock T4 location, and produced enough power to drive the usual stuff, FI, a modern sterio, speakers, SW, and a small amp. If the answer is here, and I just have not seen it, could someone direct me to the post? Thanks all, Zach |

If you want to pay for it, a stock alternator can be built to put out a shitpile of amps. It's done all the time by speciality shops for the "ricer" crowd that has to run 1000 watts of stereo power in their shitboxes.
I think the price is about $150 for the change. Next time I see the guy that buys cores from us, I will ask again...but son't expect it to be $49.99 from your local flaps. |

I have been selling rebuilt stock alternators with 90 amp outputs. I am currently working on a new version, non-stock, that will have output capability of 120 to 180 amps. The big problem is to ensure that it fits without a problem. I expect that this will be a reality in two months time.
