TRON Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Okay, so I'm dumbstruck at the fact that I can't find any place online that sells HO alternators for my car (2003 Mazda Protege 5 - 2.0L) Does anybody know where I can find one...maybe I'm just not looking in the right place. Also - silly question, but do I need a big 3 upgrade with an HO alt and battery?...

Guest Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 yeah you need the big 3 with a HO alt. you really want to push 200+ amps through stock 8 gauge? i dont think so. mechman, dc power, singer alternators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRON Posted April 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Okay I checked out DC power and they have been "out of stock" for a long time but I'll check out Singer...

MECHMAN Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 We build a unit for your car, I ship Mazda units all the time. Our 220a unit is available as a bolt-in kit for your application and they actually produce over 250a.

I assume THe more power and Alt outputs the more HP it requires? I've also heard the HO alts increse engine performace via ignition.

I've also heard the HO alts increse engine performace via ignition. bigger alts are harder to spin while under load, so yeah you'll probably notice some engine "sluggishness" while playing music full tilt. although i don' see how a HO alt will increase performance. if anything it'll degrade performance, slightly. they output barely higher voltage over stock (in most cases).

Yeah that makes sense. So another question is, if I have and Ho alt, do I need to upgrade my battery? Or will the stock battery be fine?
