[Mike's89AccordLX]

sweet I wonder how much it is. If it's under $200 I might get it.

[Bloodlust]

I think I might just get one of these myself. Thanks for the post!

[StUpiD8000]

did I miss something? I cant find a place were I can get an Alternator yet. Just "yep, we make one for your car"....................AAARRRGGG

[88 Accord DX]

i e-mailed the site posted and i think it was like $400 after shipping.

[StUpiD8000]

ouch $400!!! Wow I get a stinger 300amp for that is there any cheaper oes outthere? and how did you e-mail them I tryed and it asked for me to sign-in.. Maybe this stupid public computer im on......

Understand that almost ANY alternator isn't going to give you crap for idle, NOT just rewound ones. Many people have the mindset "aftermarket alternator = more power all the time" not true.

The ones that give you good amperage at idle as well as the rest of the band cost a LOT more than ones that put out rated power in the 2000-3000 range.

I have yet to see a cheap solution to HO alternators for our cars... everyone I've ever seen is at least $400, except for re-wraps. Unless you're planning on keeping your car for a long time, I think a re-wrap would be the way to go.

87 hatch is right. almost all alternators suck at idle. the only alternators that DON'T suck at idle are police alternators. this is because they are supposed to be able to run all that electronics, plus lights while they have someone stopped. if only we could find a way to use crown victoria or even impala alternators on our cars, i could prolly get a hold of some police alternators.

Y you say that, re-wraps dont last too long?? I wont to keep my car for a long time..

[87DXHatch]

Re-wraps, because it's using stock alternator and often upping the internals, aren't the most reliable... they're usually prone to giving out after a year or two or more...

I checked and Stinger alternators are more than $300. The guy told me at his shop and he said it would be anywhere from $500-$650 for just the alternator.

Yep, but those alternators are also very nice.

[StUpiD8000]

I found one......140 amps for $369.00 at mean green

the reason rewound alternators dont last long is because when you rewind them you up the power outage but you also up the heat it produces. it cant disperse the heat very well so over time it just dies. but you can pick up an alternator for cheap at a junkyard plus ive seen then for $30 on ebay. that way you always have a spare.

[danronian]

How much does it cost to get an alternator rewound?

[87DXHatch]

danronian, usually $100-$150, from what I hear...

[AccordEpicenter]

yea i ran a rewound for 2 years with the system and never gave me a problem, and i was running 1250wrms and no caps on a stock batt. For the cost advantage id do it. You are right at idle you get nothing, my car discharges itself at idle, but at 1600 rpm you get full power, all 140 amps of it
