will a gsx altenator fit?

[jdm93dsm]

i was talking to a few ppl awhile back about how i need a larger altenator for my GS but I dont want to put out the money for the custom 200 amp alt i plan on getting in the future. I was told the gsx alt. cranked more amps.. is this true? if so will it fit on my GS? thanks.

A 90 amp is available, used on the Canadian cars.

Actually check with your local parts store and ask them what the amperage is for the GSX with an auto. I run an auto alt. on mine because they are a higher amperage to be able to accomadate the extra amp draw from the trans.

I went to a local autozone and looked up the amprages... the gs and gsx are the same but however the manual is 65 amps and the auto is 75 amps.

Also make sure you have no Power Steering Fluid leaks on your Alt - that will kill it in a Hearbeat & can toast your ECU...

Just had my Bumper to Bumper guy look up the Highest Amp Mitsu Alternator that would fit a 1G - Mine was about $150.00 - I run a 1 Farad Cap too with an El-Cheapo Battery.

- Max amperage 121 amps

- 100 amps at 3000rpm

- Max 1548 watts

- Manufacturer Ampere - P/N 21491

I put it on ramps & come from underneath - It's a PITA .

how efficiant are UDPs w/ altenators when running 600w rms stereos?
