I read in one of the threads that an alternator from a mazda 626 could fit but it wasnt really confirmed, right now im running a new cd player and a sub and amp off my stock one and it cant be safe, my amps guage is about 3/4 full and it scares me... theres a 626 alt on craigslist and im thinking of getting it but im not sure on the fit.

I also want to get an electric fan with new lights but i know my alt wouldnt hold out so gotta upgrade it first.

Easier to do the 2nd gen swap. I have one from an S4 and it bolted right up.

 

+1 for the second gel alt. Super easy to do.

 

+2 for the 2nd gen alternator...and if your still worried get a capacitor for your amp to help take the sudden loads off your battery that your amp may be causing.

I run a **** load of electrical gear, 2 high end amps, central locking, elecric windows, full alarm system, full micro tech engine management and display, tv, dvd, cd player, 10 stacker and Ipod, HID lights, and some other gear.

I'm using a 2nd gen alt, 1 Farad capacator, and a optima D34 battery...I have had no problems what so ever relating to power.

Cam...

 

i posted a wanted ad on craigslist but i hear the S4 alt is hard to find and theres a 626 one up right now for 40 brand new so i though why not. id love to do the GM one that someone did in a thread, 105 amps would be real nice. right now my windows take forever to go up and its all just scary... my lights arent as bright..
