Lucky4Designs Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Is it possible to modify a stock alternator to achieve a higher output? One of my friends talked about how he just did this to his Toyota Celica, and I was wondering if he's blowing smoke or not...

bumonskateboard6 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Yes it can be done... Reliably? Not really.

Low voltage doesn't blow amps. That's a myth. A router that does the sub holes makes rounded edges also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trey_Dog650 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 you can always get your stock one rebuilt, or wound tighter. yeah it will probably get you maybe 50 more amps, but how reliable... idk Quote 13 Kia Forte Build! 07 Hyundai Accent Build ***Super Seller*** N8ball2013 And then he gets to say ok all you guys were right. im sorry for being a dummy poo poo head.

Amart88 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 You could have somone rebuild it to get more amps or even put a smaller pulley on it. But for the hassle I would just look into getting a higher output alt. Quote My 2005 s10 blazer build. 4 zcon 18's walled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassJunkie Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Depending on the alternator case you can buy a high output rebuild kit, but as stated it wouldn't be as reliable as purchasing a well built alternator.

ALPINE408 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 you can get a stock alt rewound for higher output my buddies has his 60 amp wound up to 220 amps and has been good for over 4 years only problem it puts out nothing at idle only at 1500 rpm and up Quote Have you ever had your woofers blown?

getlocivic Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 sorry folks i CANT read today getting more amps out of a stock alty.. yes it can be done i was thinking higher voltage lol i lost my glasses today and cant see shit so im depressed and hi as hell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky4Designs Posted April 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 So the story is half true, half bs? Lol I knew it!!! Anyway, if this is the case (no pun intended), my aunt worked at Richmond Electric here in Wichita. From what she told me, they hand-wind alternator windings and can custom make their own diodes for commercial and recreational use. I can get this done dirt cheap, and it'll help out in the long run until DC starts producing the 320A alt for my car!
