get as big an alt. as you can, you can never have to much power just in case you want to upgrade. smallest i'd get though is 300a with those amps.

seriously...you are going to need a huge HO alt. to power those amps.


maybe you can opt for a dual HO alt. setup.

i doubt theres room for a dual alt setup in that car. the bigger the better, you can never have too much power :-)

any of these places will probably give an estimate if you contact them:

ohio gen will only sell to a physical store, so you'll have to get a store to order it for you and sell to you....just thought i'd throw that out there. not to mention they are expencive as hell, but good quality stuff.

i have a 280a ho alt from iraggi. couple of months ago i wanted to do 2 autotek 4000d with 2 treo ssx 18s. i called dom and i asked him if my current ho alt can handle that. he told me put 4 batteries in the trunk and it should handle it.

largest i could get was 200 from Iraggi or 180 from Excessive Amperage. price difference wasn't that much, and the extra amperage at idle (110) is nice.

foreign cars are hard to get larger alts for. they just don't have the room...

Check with Stinger, I've been running dual 200amp alternators from them since January with absolutely no problems. Comes pre-bolted/welded to the bracket, with all belts and everything needed for install. It's a pretty good size too as you can see in the pic.

Good Luck.
