i posted this in the Newbie tech because i know it's been covered a few times..but i can't get straight answers through threads that are a few years old and pics that don't work.


I'm switching my lights to HID's (55w DDMkit.)..don't gimmie crap about blinding people either...because i know how to aim headlights

i'll have a decent stereo pretty soon, right now it's this headunit http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Dual+-+5...&skuId=1053936

along with some Kenwood speakers in the stock locations and the stock tweeters in the rear.
this is not a problem for the stock alternator....BUTTTTT i'm adding these.

Two of them actually, in a ported box.

now to handle the power needs of the Alpines, i'm gonna be adding an amp with between 1000w-2000w of max power.

and eventually whenever i get my front bumper then i'm gonna get a winch i believe

and theres also gonna be some lights on the bumper, prolly HID as well

so i'll need the extra power of an upgraded alternator!

i've seen places like Boyle's, and AES, and heard of domestic alt's and other toyota alt's that swap in..but can't find any specifics.



i know i'll need to upgrade my wires (gonna go with a 2gauge power, and prolly 2 or 4 gauge grounds.) and my battery is getting upgraded as well (whenever i get a good battery hold down, or a battery box....mine keep meeting my power steering pump pulley.......)

so anybody that has any info, POST UP!

 

Depending on what you want. I know there are some direct fit plug and play options, sorry but I didn't really pay attention. I know dang 22RE guys. Buddy has a 3vze and was telling me about it. Seems one was from a highlander and one or two others.

 

i think i'd rather have something that fits CLOSE (or just like) stock, i can modify the wiring if need be..no big deal it's documented pretty well on here and it's only a few wires.

 

91-92 MR2 100amp
Denso Number 210-0184
not a direct bolt on but very close

GOOD STUFF RBX!!!!!! thanks!!!

keep em coming guys!

 

any idea how many amps that puts out at idle?

 

I think that IS at idle. Can't find a definitive answer, a call to denso USA maybe.

 

i sound like a broken record but a gm cs 144 is 100amps at idle and bolts in with a little work https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f131...-3-0-a-118482/
heres a adapter plug http://store.alternatorparts.com/partno461804.aspx

 

and dont forget the big 3 upgrade too

 

your Link doesn't work Elton.

i didn't know the CS-144 would bolt into a 2nd gen with the 3vz? i know the 3rd gen 3.4 guys do it alot..i'd rather have the CS-144! lol

 

and i listed that i'll upgrade my wires as well when i said upgrade the power wire and my grounds, i was referring to the "Big 3"

 

ya i think the 3.0 and 3.4 alternator's are pretty much the same idea

 

hmmm, anyone wanna confirm this? if so, then CS-144 it is, i've heard it does a good job cooling and puts out more than enough amps at idle for me
