Upgrading my alternator, a quick question

emanstudd · 2008-07-09 08:46:42

Since I am sticking a 200 amp alternator in place of the stock one, will I need to swap out any of the wiring?

emanstudd · 2008-07-09 11:53:12

anyone?

MSD sells "internals" for a stock altenator, but not that many amps. if you don't mind me asking, what altenator are you using? sorry I could'nt help

Right now its just stock but I can get a custom one for the Spec V made at excessiveamerpage.com, as they have made 200amp alternators for our car before.

yea I heard that they make great alternators, but for the 200amp powdercoated it aint cheap, $435 shipped to US.

I think mine is also gong, my headlights dim when I am doing up my windows, and I tested my battery and its fine.

Yea no problem man, I figured since I need a new alternator anyways I would get one with high output to power a future audio system.
