zep Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 As the title says, I'm looking for an OEM car that has a big alternator - preferably a car that is common. Any ideas? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raizer Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Peugeot 307 and 407 (maybe not all versions) Think some Nissan's like the Cube have 120A too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreatestben Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Hyundai looks like an easy 180a option 104210-1800 Cheap on rock auto if you look at hyundai genesis early 2010's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zep Posted September 5, 2022 Author Share Posted September 5, 2022 Ideally I can find this unit at Pick-a-part or from a TM wreck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't run it yet, but its a common mod for RB's as its a bolt on. The OEX brand one i got appears to be well manufactured like the jap ones i have and has the same mitsubishi plug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipping might push the price up too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
