Posted April 21, 200619 yr anyone know any sites that sell h/o alts for hondas cause i really need one cause the one i have now is 75amps and it just aint cuttin it anymore....any help would be great cause i did some searchin and didnt really come up with anything.
April 22, 200619 yr I bought a 170amp alternator for my integra off of ebay for around 300. the seller is alterstart.
April 22, 200619 yr To many bad stories from alterstart.www.excessiveamperage.comwww.ohiogenerator.com
April 22, 200619 yr To many bad stories from alterstart.www.excessiveamperage.comwww.ohiogenerator.com<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Ive been driving on it for now but looking to put it to the test in a few. Hopefully nothing breaks.

April 23, 200619 yr Here's a good link to a discussion about them on CYVClick HereHope this helps some. The best ones where already named above but some of these may be helpful as well.
April 23, 200619 yr i wouldn't recommend excessive amperage. on my 3rd one from him and i can hear the bearing going out on it, and the other 2 were doa, and he never kept his promises in terms of shipping. he had a group buy on ca.com and a lot of people got bad alts. anyways i'd only buy from www.mean-green.com
April 23, 200619 yr Be careful when purchasing "cheap" alts. Most of the so-called high output alternator companies do nothing more than slap a higher amperage stator in the unit with standard rectifiers and regulators. This does nothing more than provide for higher output while driving and most of the time, the cut in RPM is very high on them. This will lead to undercharging and excessive heat and wear. Do some research on how alternators work, and ask the company what they do to make the unit and what components they use.
April 24, 200619 yr Author what do you guys think about this...it sounds pretty good but im not sure.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...TRK%3AMEWA%3AIT
April 24, 200619 yr http://www.h-o-alternators.com/otherpart.htmWAY too damn expensive... Mean Green quote on a 180a Alt with fully warranty: ~$320HO: $540 and that doesnt include shipping!!!
April 24, 200619 yr what do you guys think about this...it sounds pretty good but im not sure.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...TRK%3AMEWA%3AITmight be alright. he's got good feedback after a year of doing it. but like ryan mentioned earlier, some guys just change some parts.email the guy and ask exactly what he does to each alternator. then do some research and make sure what he tells you is kosher.wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
April 24, 200619 yr Author ok ill write him a email and then post it on here and let you guys see it and say what you think.....o yeah HO alt wanted $689 for my bigger alt....dddddaaaaammmmmmnnnnnn!!!!!!
April 24, 200619 yr I can tell you with HO, you are getting your money's worth. They have their own components made for their alts. They've done their homework and KNOW what they are doing. THey may be more expensive, but the difference is an alternator that lasts 1-3 years to one that lasts 7-10 years.
April 25, 200619 yr Author so if i write to the sellers on ebay that have one for mine what should i ask them about them??? i mean you guys said ask them what parts they use or how they make them H/O....i just dont wanna write them and ask a stupid question about the alt.
April 25, 200619 yr Ask them if the rotor is rewound along with the stator. Ask them for the manufacturer and part numbers of the rectifier and regulator. Ask them the amperage rating for the diodes. DO they use quality bearings?Just an FYI, the Nippondenso's are notorious for having weak stators. Our supplier won't even rewind them due to the fact that they just don't last. Most of the high output stuff we do for Hondas end up getting replaced with a simple cheap Delco unit. I say cheap because they really are, price wise. They are abundant and parts are readily available, where as the Denso units, well, I've already gone into that.
April 25, 200619 yr Author wow i pretty much have no idea what all that means...lol...but ill ask all that thanks.
April 25, 200619 yr Author ok i asked him all that stuff and ill post it back on here when he responds and writes back.....
June 8, 200619 yr ok i asked him all that stuff and ill post it back on here when he responds and writes back.....<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Wow a month and a half later and no response, he must suck....well he is on Egay so.....
