I am looking for a high output alternator for my 01 maxima.
I am wondering if anyone has put one in there cars and if so where did you get it from and how meny amps is it and how much was the alternater.
i am looking for one that makes anywhere between 150 amps to 180 amps

thanks for your input

 

what u plan on pushing with all that power?

i dont mean to hijack but i was thinking of looking into one as well, just wondering if it would be any gain if one was running an udp, i know im spinning my alt slower and im down to 13volts when idleing, i was at 14 b4 the pulley. would a higher powered one, do more bad than good?

 

I have another amp waiting to go in for the components and I want to do some kind of touch screen in the dash with a hard drive so I can put all my music and movies in one place and never have to deal with cds or DVDs.

 

i build car sterios all day for peoples cars, its how i pay the bills, so i know alil about what im talking about, are u sure u need a higher power alt, im running just an extra mono block class D amp, nothing to major but its pumping 636watts rms. i hate using watts as a measure of power but its easier to explain that voltage and amperage and such.anyway without my 1 farad cap i noticed a draw, but with it installed i have no problems even with my low 12-13volts.

no need to spend extra money if u dont need to, right

 

The two options I have heard:

OEM 125A Hitachi Rebuilt Alternator

>220A Alternator from Can Am

Hitachi 240amp High output alt

I'm running around 12-1400 rms and I don't have trouble keeping it above 12 volts even with the ac on. Be sure to run quality cable and upgrade the big three.

 

excessive amperage... is where i got mine from...

 

I'm also running 2 amps (800+ rms) on the stock alt with no problems. The system did chew up cheap batteries quickly so I got a Kinetik 1800 - highly recommended. Big 3 upgrade is a must.

 

Both of these links are to the same e-bay seller. This alternator IS NOT a 240 amp alternator. The Hitachi part number and model numbers provided are for the stock 110 amp alternator. The seller is scamming you.

 

I got this for my 2002

here it goes for the 3.0

I love my alternator. Beware voltage is higher then standard so if your equipment doesnt like a 15 volt idle stay away. Im my case my kicker amps shut off at 15.5 volts protection. I had to get a second good battery (deka intimidator) to stabalize the power. When my bass would hit the alternator was so quick to provide power back that the bass would stop and amperage would be there without anymore demand resulting in spikes up to 16 volts. After the second battery added I roam from like 14.7 to 15.3 under all conditions.

I hit 138.8db with my system. Not the greatest but its loud. Rear view mirrrors dont survive in my car. RIP. This alternator is everything it says.

Customer service was amazing when I was dealing with my spikes issue. Very helpful.
