LF: H/O alt installer Inland Empire

[shammyhavik]

I'm in need of an experienced installer. The whip is a 06 Hyundai Sonata LX v6 3.3L

In order to reach the alt you must remove the radiator.

The alt i'm looking for is the beefiest you've got to offer. Also i'm not bound to the Inland Empire, i'm willing to drive about 100 miles from Temecula area

just look for regular car mechanics around your area, should be less than 150 including new good year gatorskin belt.

i hit up a couple mechanics and they said installing my gear is a no go because it voids their contract if they screw my gear up

Whats the largest h/o alt i can fit in my car?

J's said they can only do 240amp. I really want one upward of 300amps cuz i'm a beast but idk if it's possible

I hit em up and they want $740 for a 320a alt T-T

Looks like i'm settling for a 240a from jays at only $320

I beg to differ, without the proper tools its impossible, I had to buy several different sized and angled wrenches to do my alt install, engine compartment for v6/v8 import cars are ridiculously jam packed. My hand's not that big but it had a horrible time trying to fit anywhere especially when doing the belt. Its doable but its time consuming but definitely not for novices. American cars are soo much easier to work with.

I want an alt but $750 is too much.. I'm capping out at $500 and i thought i could find 300a+ for 500 bucks or less.

I can't see 80 more amps being worth an extra $400

better question is, do you even need a high output alt? whats your lowest voltage drops

Only running 2k for the time being

My voltage is steady at 14 while cruising. Doesn't drop past 13 when idle. The thing is i have bigger wattage plans.. Forgot to include that part.

I'm thinking upward of 4k watts
