Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 6473 Registered: Jul-06 | more than a week ago, i sent emails out to 5 companies who make alts....only 1 of them got back to me....unfortunatly, that company doesnt make alts for my car. i asked the same question for every company, it went like this "hey, i was wondering if you could send me a quote for a 250A alt for a 2005 scion tc, thanks, enter my name" now, should i take the no replys meaning, we dont make alts for your car? or should i resend the emails? im a very patient person and have no problems waiting for emails, but i thought this was a little long wait....im not complaining, just asking what you guys think....im not gonna say the names of the companies cause i dont wanna start any bashing but has anyone else had to wait this long from alt companies? |

Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 6474 Registered: Jul-06 | well rob, honestly, im not positive on what i want to get, probably 2 rl-p's but still unsure on that. if i get the rl-ps ill be running around 2krms....if i dont get the rl-ps, i mite try out 2 dc sound labs level 4's with around 2500rms....or if i get more money, ill try something bigger aroud 3500rms.... and building one myself....thats a very interesting thought....i dont even have the slightest idea of how to....got any helpful links or anything? |

Silver Member Username: •cam•Post Number: 851 Registered: Nov-06 | I thought you had to re-wind it? Can't you take it to a shop and have them turn it into a H/O alternator? |

Gold Member Username: Extrmndor3Post Number: 6988 Registered: Feb-06 | is damn easy yanks.. all you need to find is the parts of your alt.. you could go and find what kind of alt yoru car has and the buy the parts and thats it.. http://youtube.com/watch?v=LdFA6WF8lVg&mode=related&search= if you will not go more tahn 2.5 k rms you migth get away with the stock on steroids... liek get some abtts do the big 3 all runs (pos and neg) 0 gauge... and you might get away |

Gold Member Username: AdddisorderPalm Beach, Florida Post Number: 5299 Registered: Jan-06 | where did you get the parts lil rob |
|
Gold Member Username: Extrmndor3Post Number: 6990 Registered: Feb-06 | alternatorparts.com i built a 180 amp for a crown victoria and it came out really good... just changed the main compoennts the stator and the bridge rectefier... the rotor dopnt need to be replaced and the voltage regular either easy job... that all the parts an alternator have... the bigger the stator and the rectefier the bigger the power you will get.. thats all all the alternator company do... buy alts and just change the parts i mentioned |

Gold Member Username: AdddisorderPalm Beach, Florida Post Number: 5304 Registered: Jan-06 | hmm i couldnt find any parts listed on the site though, i guess i would have to email them. their is a dealer really close to where i am living right now for that company. |
|

Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 5329 Registered: Jul-06 | Yanks get a picture of your engine layout and then we can see what you can do in there. |
|
Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 6500 Registered: Jul-06 | ok rob....its dark outside right now so ill get one tomorrow a couple quick pictures i found online....mite help    |
|
Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 5338 Registered: Jul-06 | A close-up shot of the alt would have helped lol.It looks like you have room towards the bumper though.You can probably fit a big alt in there using a bracket and a longer belt if you need the clearance.That's an option and probably wouldn't be that hard if you know a welder and have some scrap metal around |
|
Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 6503 Registered: Jul-06 | lol as i said those were quick pics i found online....gotta wait until tomorrow to get pics |
|
Gold Member Username: Extrmndor3Post Number: 7001 Registered: Feb-06 | i see the alt... im pretty sure you will have to remove it if you want to do the big 3... yanks what you can do for now is do the big 3 in 0 gauge wire and practice on some alt skills... and when you get your ho alt all that you will ever need is just swap them.. |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 3397 Registered: Jul-06 | Unless your real good with cars, get a drop-in replacement HO alt. It's harder than to think to fabricate custom stuff, and you will always run into unanticipated issues. |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 3406 Registered: Jul-06 | So you didn't have to fabricate anythng then? That's what I said, get a direct replacement. |
|
Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 6518 Registered: Jul-06 | im getting pics today.....i got pretty sick yesterday |

Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 5354 Registered: Jul-06 | "So you didn't have to fabricate anythng then? That's what I said, get a direct replacement." Most direct replacements will be a stock size case and in Yanks situation it will be a small alt that doesn't put out much amperage(More than likely).I didn't have any unanticipated issues when I made the bracket for my alt,I knew exactly what I was getting into |
