HO Alternator.. need opinion on options and prices

[mike11202 10+ year member]

I talked to irragi and these are the options he gave me.

I have a 2007 Honda Civic Coupe, R18 motor.

180/110 $379

200/120 $399

220/100 $429

I asked if I could get any more amps in idle and he told me this "We have a CNC machined aluminum pulley that will give you 20-30 more amps at idle. $59.00"

I want to run about 2000-3000 watts soon and need to pick an option. I have an Optima Deep Cycle D34 under the hood and will probably end up getting another battery for the trunk.

What do you guys think I should do?

dont buy the optima, and dont go with irragi ?

Call Phil at HO Alternators and see what they can do for you. I bought this for $375 shipped to my door in under a week.... 220 amp 13-22 volt adjustable externally regulated. I run around 12kw and 8 batteries off of this currently with no power issues and .1-.6 voltage variation during peak current draw.

Yeah I'm gonna try that out.. theres a warehouse that makes alternators by my house in delaware.

I'm planning just to have deep cylce under the hood and 1 more for the trunk. Can't add any more than that or I won't have any room for my box, its pretty tight in there. I'll only be using about 2500-3000 watts compared to your 12k so I should be fine.
