Just ordered up my HO Alt from www.mechman.com =). This guy was referred to me by scottiej from powermaster and he has like every alt ya need and they are darn good prices. Got a 250 amp alt btw =). I guess they aren't like regular HO Alts that just get the windings replaced... they are actually like larger alts that fit into the stock locations and don't sag at low rpms like most HO's do.

Great guy and I would recommend him to anyone =)

THANKS SCOTTIE!

i know about that company as they are only 1 of 2 that can make an alt for my car.

They STILL output low at idle, but that depends on what your idle is.

If you idle below 750, then your idle output is only gonna be around 50A but if u get it up in the mid 800s, then their 250A alts start outputting in that low rpm range just over 100A.

They are nice, and rated hot by the way.

Will do sir =)

rated hot as in AFTER heat loss...

I can say i have an alt that can do 300A but i may be referring to it's cold rating. If the alt is 83% efficient, then it's HOT rating is 250A, 50A is lost due to heat.

HOT rating is what you will actually get in the real world.

ahhhh i see sir... so 250 hot rating is good then =)

Are you the person with the T-bird? I may be mistaken, but I thought it was you.

ummm nope =) i got a 2004 hyundai sonata gls with a 2.7L V6

how much?

my 250 for my Scion tC is around $650.

damn it i hate to spend that much on an alt.

hehe, I've spent about $7,000 so far on just my stereo install and security.
