Default HO Alternator question

Has anyone found a company that sells a HO alternator for this gen scion? Also if anyone here has bought one then have you also replaced the pulley as well?

Thanks

Try google next time bud. I didn't replace the pulley, as these HO alts come with pulleys preinstalled. The quality power alt's pulley is smaller than the toyota alt's pulley so what you have to do is replace the serp belt with a smaller one. I can't recall what the exact length of the new belt was but if you have a napa near you have them give you a 060486. That's the part number to the belt that i found to work. I ordered the 240 amp alt and I'm happy with it. I've got a 3000 watt sound system and i get no headlight dimming even with my stereo at full tilt. Be sure to do the big 3 if you haven't already. Let me know if you got any questions. Good luck man

What battery are you using btw? Also it appears that the HO alt you linked is one i previously found before but it seems to be the only one on the market.

What is your negative terminal? I've used NVX and Kicker.. both don't fit securly around the negative terminal therefore I have to use a spacer ontop of it which I then push the connector ontop of the terminal to form a snug fit.

This is all of course using the stock battery just like you have.
