I would like to know what makes a alternaor company good verses a crappy one? What makes it charge at 14.4, what determines amps at idle, etc etc. etc.? Basically the innerworkings of a alternator. Would a rebuild kit be better?

I guess my question is why are one companies parts better than another one? Most claim they are using heavy duty parts.

dont buy into the heavy duty regulator non sense...

OE denso regulators is where it's at.

when it comes to alts, you DO GET what u pay for.

But what do they do different to make theirs better. I have my factory alt and want to rebuild it the best I can Idle, amps, volts etc. etc. etc

Alts are just like everything else in the world. It comes down to QC, the quality of the parts used, and the expertise of the designers and manufacturers. If I were you I would head over to Dc Power's website and see what they have for your car. Dc Power, Ohio Generator, and Iraggi are some of the best around when it comes to H.O. alts.

I would not recommend getting your alt. rewound. Infact the results would be alittle bit better while driving and ABSOLUTELY terrible while idle
