Alternator Upgrade

[BoSsRsT]

I want to get a stronger alternator. But I don't know where to search for one and how strong I'm able to go. I just need some general help. Anything will do. Thanks guys!

Ohio Generator would be a good place to start if your looking for a big alternator, call them up and see what they can do for you. They do alot of car stereo applications. (330) 875-6677

You have 3 choices.

1. Buy a higher output one from a company that sells them.
2. Take yours to a shop and have it modified to output more amps. This is the same as #1, but they rewind yours instead of you buying a new one.
3. Swap out to an alternator from a different make. One that outputs more. A popular one is the Saturn alternator. (Do a search.)

I've run both a Saturn alternator (96amps) and a rewound 1g unit (140amps).

I recommend running a higher gauge alternator wire to the fuse box if you're going to run anything larger than 100amps.

^ I thought about the 1g rebuilt alternator but wasn't sure if it's a direct bolt on with a 2g. And about the Saturn what year and model was it from?
