Wooo! Alternator :D

Can't find an answer on this so I'm assuming you can put any HO alternator in your car as long as it fits and installs properly. Maybe even a little modding.

more amps the better! just make sure its not higher voltage then your vehicle takes.

aka dont put a 16v alt on your 12v ride //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

and i believe the idea of any alt for any car is flawed.

so if you get a 16v alt you need a 16v batt up front? or something to lower the voltage?

It is more of less the regular electronics on your car (lights, interior, dash, engine electronics, etc.) are all designed to run off of 12v. 16v can ruin a car since it is not actually designed for it.

That is why you see a lot of people run 2 alts at 16v and 1 at 12v to keep that from happening.

if the alternators fit and are the same voltage, what would be the problem

or you have people like what i will be doing if i decide to go into the mod classes.

running a single alt with an external regulator turned up to just over 18v with step down converter between the batt upfront and the alt to let the car's systems run properly
