stronger alternator
I was woundering if their is a stronger altnator for my 86 toyota pickup. I have two fog light's funning with heater and head lights and it won't Idel because to much power is taken away and turns off. So is their a bigger altnator that will bolt on or little ajustment to make it work?

Search, theres plenty of info on here about this issue. From upgrading to a GM alternator to a alternator out of a MR2 (100watts) to buying a Mean Green alternator ($$$) and much more.

There are shops in Calgary that will rewind your stock alternator anywhere between stock and double, I've talked to a few guys that are happy with them.
I know you arn't going to order from Calgary, but it'd be worth phoning around some local alternator/starter shops to see what they could do for you. |
What year of vehicle of GM and motor size?

Alterstart has a good reputation...
http://www.4alterstart.com/ http://stores.ebay.com/Alterstart But most likely, your stock alternator isn't your problem. Try upgrading your ground and power wires first! It's recommended when running a H.O. alternater anyway... http://www.the12volt.com/installbay/...TID=73496&PN=1 http://forum.sounddomain.com/forum/u...=5;t=007801;p= https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f131/big-3-wire-upgrade-95850/ |
I had mine rebuilt by Boyle Future Tech and highly recommend it.
http://www.ttora.com/forum/showthrea...ght=alternator Factory rated it at 60A max. At 1500 RPM, it now makes 42A, and 130A at anything over 2500 RPM! Price was very reasonable at $118 (including return shipping) and it took about a week round trip. I'm a little concerned though, cuz you're not drawing that much current. Before spending any money, make sure all your grounds are good! |
How big are your fog lights?
Check to make sure your wiring is good (not cooked) at the alternator and at the battery terminal... 400 watts of lights = 30-40 amps + fan + other componets... yea.. maybe... I guess it could outrun the alternator at idle. What does your battery voltage drop to? |

22RE 100 amp MR2?
x2 on the "Will one of those altnators fit in the stock mount for an 22RE?"
can the MR2 100 amp unit fit on a 22re? If so, what's the part number/year of the MR2 alternator? The write up linked above was for a 3.sl0w modded bracket |
Alternator Problems
Are you pulling power from the fuse panel or directly from the battery ?
The best for you system would be hardwired from the battery and switched between ground , also remember to keep your wire gauge large going to these lights as smaller gauge wire would increase amp draw and decrease lamp illumination due to decrease in load voltage - Ohms law rules ! |
