[QUOTE="dennit469, post: 7041336, member: 585423"] sup guys!? I currently am looking for a high output alternator for my car. Ive looked around before but all i can seem to find are altys pushing 220 amps (+ or - 30amps). In short, i need more power. Do any of you guys with foreign cars know where to get pretty beastly H/O alts? or know somewhere you can get it rebuilt to more than 220 amps? i drive a Lexus IS300 with a stock 100 amp alty. It seems to me there is ALOT more electrical BS on this car than the same year (01) American made cars, i had my alt wire come loose one time and the car drove literally 5 minutes before i had to pull over because of the engine dying in and out due to no charge in the battery. The battery wasnt bad, i actually still have the same one currently. On the other hand my explorer i used to have drove a good 30 minutes to my house with the alternator unhooked (was doing BIG 3 at a friends and ran out of supplys) and it still was running fine pulling in the driveway. So my question is, can i retrofit one of these badass altys for american made cars thats pushing many amps on my car with little work?
