a stock alternator will only put out 65 amps no matter how fast it rotates. thats why you need an HO one. nothing you can do about that.

 

And mbaledge= PWNED by nebster, once again.

 

lol, its ok you didn't know.

its like trying to get 2 gallons of water into a gallon jug (i know really bad ex) but it just can't take the capacity.

 

Ok, so is the glass half full or half empty, Mr. Philospfizer?

 

with a stock alternator?

half empty unfortunitly

 

Meh, typical. Everyone thinks half-empty, nobody goes for full. Pessimists, I say. Have you ever cracked open an alternator and snooped around? They're pretty full if you ask me.

 

lol

yeah i take ____ apart all the time and it is pretty full thats why it usually gets bigger if you want a higher output alt.

i'm a pessimist bc the stock alternator is crap

 

So you base your entire outlook on life based on the quality of your alternator? That's a little sad.

 

yep i do.

lol

 

I used to. But then I realized that the glass is not half empty. Nor is it half full. It's the container that's flawed, not the amount in it. You'll have to forgive me for my ill attempts at humor, but I got off work like 3 hours ago, and really should be in bed.

 

yeah i'm on lunch right now so whatever

 

Engineer answer: The glass is twice as big as it needs to be. :D

On topic: Funny. I just started looking into HO alts. for my tC yesterday. I haven't found one specifically for the tC, but I found some "universal" ones that may work. Just have to see how "universal" they really are....

 

hence my "flawed container" retort above. don't be stealin my jokes now..

 

^^^ haha, that one's been around engineering circles for ages.

 

i talked to Dominick Iraggi about a group buy and this is what he said...

discounted prices =

180 $367.20
200 $383.20
220 $399.20
240 $415.20
260 $431.20
280 $447.20
300 $463.20

based on that i believe you can pick whatever size you want, we just need 20 people.

add on this list, once we have the 20 full, ill get back with Dom and see where he wants the money sent to and so forth.

I'm just wondering what are you guys running that you need that much power? I'm planning on running a carputer with an amp. Do i need more than the stock altenator can put out?
