ebay high amprage alternators
 

has any one ever use any of these? they got 120-130- and i think 140 amp ones up there.. i dont want to make brakets for the taurus oneor use a fd one. i want a bolt in.

Question I'd ask is what kind of output do they have at idle and low RPMs?

wish i knew the real answer to that . im worried about my system hids and the electric fan and all my gauges

I bought one, its right at 12.5 volts at idle but immediately goes to 14 when I touch the throttle. But it is making a lot of noise now. Only have had it on for a few months.

If you use a pulley the same size as the stock pulley and the stock belt, then there will be no need to modify the stock bracket. Grind, mount, wire, done.

See that part where you said "grind"? That means it isnt a direct swap. It needs modification. "Mount, wire, done", however, means no modifications.

I am on my 2nd 140A alternator... buy the warranty'd ones and KEEP THE PAPERWORK. My first one lasted 4 months.

^ I never claimed that it was a direct swap. I will claim that it is one of the best alternator options for our cars, and probably far more superior to the high amperage eBay alternators.

If you don't want an FD or Taurus alternator, but you want an alternator with higher amperage and is a direct swap... Then why haven't you purchased the eBay alternator yet? It's a direct swap. What other "direct swap" alternatives do you have in mind??

get a custom made one i guess . i dont want to modify pullys or anything like that . just throw one and go . i rather pay 200+ for a good highamp alt idk any local shops thats why i was asking if ebay ones are good .

if someone local can rewire it , pay them to do it, should cost no more than 200

buying on eBay is always a gamble, some of the eBay sellers allow u to send ur core over, they will rebuild with ur core and send it back to u, this way at least u know u are not getting some crappy cores in the first place
