Hey Where's my post?
I have so much electrical stuff as is, I want more!!! I need an alternator that can handle all my needs, know of one? Or a builder? and if so wha tis the site/price?
Is there any one who knows of a high performance alternator or builder???

Check in at www.boosthead.com i think that's it, he sells electric superchargers and I know they need bigger alternators to power them up, so they might be able to help you out...

Look in the yellow pages, or talk to a couple local speed shops about where your local "auto electric" places are. They usually focus primarily on alternators and starters, and do just about any custom work you'll need. For example, the one near me it http://www.bostonautoelectric.com
What are you running that would require a high output alternator? Im running a pretty good stereo system and I still dont need one.

Hey Where's my post?
Thanks Guys!!
I have a two amp system, 2 memphis 12" subs, all upgraded sound system, DVD, CD player, soon to have a PC in the (gutted) center console with 2 monitors, that will at some time run my tweecar, or my tweecar run it! and I am going to put my son's old PS1 in there for the road!! LOL. Going through electronics classes have taught me that when you run less power through circuits/electrical components, you will actually burn the part out faster! I have a 93 atx, I know the alternator is getting on in age, so I want to replace it first. That is kinda how I am though, replace before it goes, in the case of my starter(s) that was a different story6 times over!! LOL

hi performance alternator??
I sure don't know what electronic classes you took, but less power does NOT burn out parts faster; upon any analysis it does not even make sense!
It is true that, with audio gear, low power will sometimes burn out speakers sooner than higher power, but that is due to distortion being harder on speakers than music. Distortion will put more power thru a speaker than almost any music, very ******* tweeters.
Heat is the enemy of electronic parts and the more power, the more heat, the harder on the parts, its a matter of physics, not opinion. Check it out more thoroughly.

Hey Where's my post?
thanks anyways dave
but I am stickin to my guns, there (on electronic parts) are tolerances, on both sides, I took great ones by the way, hopefully Bizzy will be in her car rippin **** up soon, put that in your pipe and smoke it.

High out put alternator
Seems to me that sticking to one's guns instead of checking on facts before spreading ignorance is very red neck. As far as tolerances go, that has no bearing on the matter. Obviously, when there is no current flowing, the parts can hardly fail, and manufacturers do list a maximum current/voltage their parts can handle without burning up or arcing.
Your statement is what is commonly called "old wive's tales", and the thinking is right there with the claim that handling toads cause warts, based on pure subjectivity with no factual foundation whatsoever, does not even make sense when actually thought about, but some people would swallow it whole and spread the misinformation.
The only time very low power causes parts to fail is regarding relays, including the old style car points, which need a small amount of current to keep the surface "clean", so the electronic ignitions that retain the points deliberately send a small amount of extra current to do this, and even then too much current will burn them out. Even house wiring is rated for max voltage and max current, and fuses/breakers are designed to melt/break when the current causes too much heat to develop. I would think that even a high school education would allow a person to evaluate such statements or at least make an effort to learn before spreading misinformation. Electronics is difficult enough for a lot of people without being misled. I know I try my best to inform, not mislead, and did so when I sold electronic equipment. I do have a degree in electronics and auto mechanics as well as technical arts. Enlightenment is gained, not by quests merely seeking to form opinions, but by investigation and learning.

high output alternator
I must also say that I am somewhat offended, not just with spreading misinformation, but by claiming that "electronic classes" would actually teach you such a fallacy. Since I took two years of electronics, getting a degree in electronics plus a year of physics at the University of Washington, I simply cannot imagine that you managed to graduate. We get enough "disinformation" from our government officials, who we pay to misinform us, we need less BS, not more.

I didn't have your teachers, you didn't have mine, maybe my teacher was wrong, if not more bs, then stop posting, one such example is called Voltage Variance, here is an example of a electric motor, and yes the government does lie, just read, and put the flame thrower down, "redneck"
http://www.fpl.com/home/power_quali...://koa.com/updates/2004February/technical.htm
http://www.solartech.com/motive.htm << here is one that the Can-PULSE Motive System actually helps "Prevention of failure of electrical and electric components caused by chronic low voltage ,Damage to electric motors and related components when batteries with reduced capacity are use to complete jobs, Full power for full shift reduces related component damage." see the chart and paragraphs under.
If need be I can go on?! now you tell me I don't know what I am saying.
hate to have been one of your customers.
leave me alone dude.

Hey Where's my post?
also on this page a guy explains "The root of the problem: a long electrical connection, including an undersized cord, results in excessive voltage drop, Finch said. Voltage loss, in turn, can damage electricity-demanding appliances such as air conditioners and heaters that are expensive to repair or replace." 9th paragraph down dude. http://koa.com/updates/2004February/technical.htm

and I am sure you will try to break it down again,
leave me alone dude.
p.s. If I were you I would ask for my money back on your degree. hate to have been one of your customers.

It wasn't me!
P#wNeD!!!
well from repairing computer controled optical machinery since i was 12 i can tell you that low voltage will cause the relays to burn out quicker. but i am talkign about getting 90v AC insted of 110v. and the processors over heat more

I remember CincySHO, used to sell 150A and 200A Powder Coated alternators for less than $300... Dunno if they still do. They were custom rebuilt factory units if I remember correctly. The Autozone by my house has a listing for a 180A also.

I got one off of Ebay a 130Amp for like 115 shipped brand new. I could send you the guys seller Id or email and he can make one for your if need be..
Not that i Know anything about electronics(B-2A stealth bomber Electronic Warfare Journeyman E-4, Avoinics and Electronics Engineering Degree and a MECP first class car audio installer) But N8rsk8r is right about the Lower Voltage/Current than needed will destroy electronic componets just as much as Higher Voltage/Current than recomended will.
