    Apparently you can fit an alternator from a Honda Legend,
    not sure which one or how or if it's true.....

    Someone else here should be able to help you.

    I'd say though put in a book quality battery, relieve whatever unnecessary loads on your current power system until you can afford to upgrade your alternator.

    You can get it rebuilt, but whether or not it's worth it compared to putting in another alternator I do not know.

    money is no problem

    i am not worried about how much it costs because i would rather pay for a bigger alternator now then having it seize up in the future or having my electrical system fry

    my old alternator seized up so i had to buy a new one, how much would it cost me approximately to have my alternator that i have now be rebuilt to a high output?

    Rather than getting a bigger alternator there are other alternatives....like farad caps for example. One or two of those babies for your amps and it will take pretty much all the strain off your alternator and add a nice custom look as well. I have never believed in them but I would do that before I bought a bigger alternator. Doesn't really sound like a bigger alternator would be necessary for the power you are running, one farad cap and you should be good.
