High Output Alternators

[KiwiRS4T]

Any one heard that the I30 160amp are straight bolt-on affair ? a chap in UK said it was straight bolt on on his r32.

I'm trying to buy one from mechman or DC power in the state.. but none are willing to take a R32 case and rebuilt it or make a custom one.. obviously they must think the market is not there and they wont sell enough for them to make it worth it.

How much is it going to cost you and how many amps do you want/need? We have a couple of shops here who will rebuild the RB alternators for more output. But I see brand new ones are pretty cheap on Ebay...

Don't forget that bigger alternators have heavier rotating parts which is why the big ones have wider pulleys . Some even have one way clutch pulleys so they don't give the engine the heavy flywheel effect when you back off change gears etc .

High output alternators are big and heavy and take more engine power to drive . Yes you can overkill here .

VPW sell 200 amp alternators for the V8 guys... Perhaps you can make up some custom brackets.

That looks good, any idea on an English translation and costage

[Missileman]

bing translate does an average job, but is still thin on details, I came across that site when going through yahoo auctions via nengun

I'm keen to hear if anyone has had experience fitting the i30/Maxima alternators mentioned earlier.

Sounds like a cheap way to get the extra amps, provided it bolts straight up.

[XKLABA]

i too would be interested in the I30 idea, shit like that fascinates me

[Ryno]

I just found this as a cheaper alternative to the RH9 Alternator... doesn't look quite as sexy though

stock output, they should do the work I guess.

since i'm pulling the motor, i'm going for a mechman universal compact series. they have one for 299$us rated 170amp, it should do the trick just fine !

[SiR_RB]

My alternators dying we suspect

Look at options other then second hand u it's and the pricey rh9 ones lol

[SiR_RB]

Has anyone got any quotes to rebuild there alternators ? Rough price ?

[XKLABA]

For what a new one is worth it's not worth rebuilding them

I retro fitted a 180amp meant for a 300zx into my 34, little bit of work but not that hard

100$. getting a stock output is really not complicated, its finding a high quality high ouput that is.

I managed to install my RH9 alternator yesterday

Do you have a multi-meter to chuck across the battery terminals for a more accurate reading? idling, with and without load would be nice.
