powerfull alternator
hi all just want to know where i can get a more powerfull alternator in sydney the car is a vt v6 or dose anyone know of any work shops that could trick out my alternator thats on the car
There's a 120A model that's a straight swap, pretty much... Holden stock (but Mitsubishi branded) it or there's a dodgy copy you can find on eBay. I wouldn't recommend the eBay one though as mine melted around the positive connection. I've gone back to a stock Bosch 100A model as my previous stockie lasted 7 years with 2400-3200Wrms of amps.
You'll have to call your local auto electricians to find out if they can rewind your current alternator for a higher output.

I found Holden to be the cheapest supplier of the 120amp alternator, but I get trade price. Also I'm sure Sydney would have more suppliers to choose from.

Maybe, does your alternator say "Bosch Made in Australia" on the back of the alternator, or does it say Mitsubishi on it?

so i just got back from holden and they showed me on the computer that they dont sell anything bigger then 100amp
Donati..Whoa Green
Well that guy is a retard. I know that Holden sell it as I bought mine from a Holden dealership, and I'm quite sure that all dealerships use the same program. I'd get you the Holden part number but I lost my receipt.
Try asking for a VX 120amp Mitsubishi alternator, possible that the VTs didn't have them? They all bolt up the exact same.

Why would you need such a high rated amp for? An alternator is not everything when it comes to auto electrics. You will usually find a better battery will give more benefit.

Not only would such an alternator cost heaps, but then you would have to much heaps more for a custom bracket, then pay more for massive power cable, and THEN find a way to hook it up to the wiring harness. But you would also have to raise your idle because that would suck over 4kW from your engine.Originally Posted by SiKC.VR

because im planning to run a second yellow top d34 in the boot

A standard amp would be fine to charge a 2nd battery as far as I know. The 4wd boys only use 120 amp alternators even with dual batteries.
i know that that is over killl i just want to know if that guy is telling you the truth as i have been told so much rubbish from people, the power cable is no problem as i have the cable allready run in my car ,and im not fussed about the power loss as its a family car not a race car
yeah i know but i still want al least a 150 amp alternator in the car as i allways say the more power the better

If you design the dual battery setup right the current alternator should have no issues. It's not like it will be trying to charge 2 fully discharged batteries so it will be fine. Curious as to why you would want 2 Optima batteries though.

I believe its not too hard to fit up a 140amp LS1 alternator. My auto sparky said its not to hard to fabricate a good bracket.
