could a 1.8 liter engine take a 320amp alternator


Recommended Posts

A 320a or 270a can work, it's a matter of load at idle and belt size and wrap.

If the belt has insufficient wrap or is too small like a single-v or 4-rib it can cause slip. Proper tensioning and good belts are mandatory.

it's all about idle amps that will put the strain on the motor when the RPM's come up it won't be as much as an issue. But make sure the belt has enough wrap and tension

i saw my boy Jack (from the forum, and local to me), drop one of my old Chrome Irragi's in his Geo Metro. It was a 300a and it UNBELIEVABLY did great!! never heard it slip either. Thats more credit towards the installer then the product though because you wont get the same results unless you do it right, like he did.
