    I can't find anyone that makes one! I'm hoping for at least 200+ amps. 250 or so would be superb!

    I was wondering if you guys have any alternators that would fit in a 2000 Civic Coupe? It's a SOHC D16Y7 motor. Thanks! My price range would probably be a max of 400$, thanks DC!!

    Is there any reason the 2009 Nissan Frontier 2.5L I4 QR25DE 250/270 amp alts wont work on a 2010 I4 QR25DE Frontier? Was just wondering cause you have it for the 09 but you only have the 4.0L Alt listed for the 2010 model.

    Hello, bought a 270xp from you guys on 9/21/10, sales number was 12967. Due to me vehicle (1997 jeep wrangler straight six 4.0l engine) it needed a bypass harness, but you guys shipped it without a resistor for the stock wiring since they were out of stock. I sent Kyle a PM on October 29th and haven't heard any news about the resistor... I'd like to get this in sometime before I forget about it and have to call you a year later asking about it. Thanks, Stefan Hinote

  15. First off do you offer a 270 for a 2007 Toyota matrix? Also I saw a post where you stated it would do rated idle power (170-180 if I recall) for fifteen minutes with no problem. Are there any consequences doing this rated output for more than fifteen minutes? What us your rated turn on and max rotating speed? Also do these alternators have any built in surge protection or do you offer any that is external? For example our 90amp power supplies used for shows have a 1,000 amp surge protection. Thanks, Quentin

    Well first I should say i have a 2002 jeep liberty (KJL v6 3.7 liter I was reading an article on its eletrical system and found this charging system of our KJ's is much different to ones in the past. I have been told that in an efforet to protect the PCM and other computer components in the KJ, the charging system draws from the battery FIRST and then calls on the Atl/Gen to re-plenish the battery as needed. That is why the new generation of Deep Cycle batteries work so well. They have the reserve power to allow the extra toys without needing to add the huge alt/gen of the past. As you use your lights, stereo, winches, what ever, they will be drawing from a battery that…

    Rob told me a while back that i need to pay little extra to have a true 18v regulator installed on my alt. How much is it for starters and is it still internal i hope? 2nd, for safety sake, i'll have 6 25a stepdowns in the car to run it on 12v still.. But, if i purchase the VCM, can i still safely step the regulator down to ~15v if i ever had to bypass the stepdowns?

First of I am currently located in Singapore and owning a car here cost about 3x the price of over there in the US...suppose that is how they control traffic on the island. Many moons ago I asked you guys about an alt for a Lancer GLX. I was told there were too many mounting possibilities. I ended up taking my alt out and shipping it to ur frnds at ohio Gen who were the only guys willing to help at the time. The thing developed a cold start squeak and to ship it back will mean I have wait another month or so just for a alt; their service was great but boy that would be a pain. This also means I ne…
