well my alternator crapped out, and i sourced out a place that will change the stator, and paint the alternator to whatever color you want for $255



better price than $500 from

i had my alternator rebuilt a few years ago for about $35.

 

at 200 ampszzzz ?

 

yeah 200amps



he's charging me 50 to rebuild it.

Does the amperage outputted by the alternator fluctuate with rpm? and if I have a 200amp fuse attached to my battery, will this alternator set it off all the time?

 

the higher the current rating the more parasitic loss you have. Keep that in mind. The difference between a S5TII one and FD one is 3 HP. 3 HP is a lot. I spend 500 bucks to get like 50 hp.

 

thanks for the info, ill contact the alternator guy to see how much more parasitic loss i will get with that alternator

 

if you really want the extra horsepower on a dyno or drag strip, get twin batteries and disconnect the alt. at the staging lanes or just before you dyno. .

if you really want the extra 3 hp, hire a 65 lb 4'9 guy to drive the car... I mean 3 hp, I'd rather have my car run better with a 200 amp alt and not worry about 3 hp honestly...

wouldnt that mess up the tuning on the car if all of a sudden it lose some parasites?
