Autruche Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Don't try to go budget on your alternators, man. The reason DC and Mechman are on the pricey side is because they build reliable products and back them with great customer service, tech support, and good warranties. I know that you can scoop up a 220 amp unit from Mechman (which does great output at idle) for around $300 or so. Quote Need Test Tones/Sine Waves?

And tejcurrent only builds for domestic cars so if you have a foreign car don't bother lol. But he's got great prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbykw Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 http://www.powerbastards.com/ They are cheap.. but quality i dont know about. I didnt risk it. I just saved up for a Mechman and it was well worth it.

wizart383 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Ohio generators has good alts also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunkjuice1 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 The alt is very important don't skimp on it call mechman as well as DCpower and compare prices, amperage's and idle output, also keep in mind of any future upgrades you might want to do and go from there. Matt over at mechman answers the phone as well as Emails in a much more timely manner though. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
