Whats a good TII alt. upgrade?

What would be a good upgrade for an alternator if i'm running a very powerful e-fan and powerful stereo system and lighting system?

I think you'll find a S5 alt should be fine even with a big stezza and thermo fans and other stuff. Just make sure you have a decent battery.

If it turns out that it's no good, then a Cosmo or S6 alt should work, although they may be pricey (at least, they are here in Oz).

if anyone needs I have some s5 alternators $50 each. They make excellent upgrades and will run a fan and stereo when used in conjunction with a large, quality battery and new connectors/terminals.

It's worth the anticipation considering your still running a s4 Alternator.

With the FD Alternator, you'll be running a top notch setup.
