audiA6_audio Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 So i want to upgrade my alternator but haven't had much luck. i've tried to contact a few different companies with no avail. if ANYONE knows if they even exist it would be helpful. would probable require a custom housing. im looking for 210+ my car is 01 A6 C5, with the 2.7 biturbo.

Tarball Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 At gance it looks like you would need to modify what seems to be a lower radioator hose or pipe (the part that wraps around the alt.

audiA6_audio Posted December 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 the hose is clamped into place as you can almost tell in the pic. i might be able to get a different hose (longer) to fit that specific spot. im more or less asking if it were even possible to get someone to make one?

Miguels Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 also the intercooler hose needs to be rerouted my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiA6_audio Posted December 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 note" this is not the exact engine that is in my car, some of the hoses/clamps are a little different. i have about a half inch of clearance between the alt case and the cooler pipe. if that's not enough than id have to compromise of course. ive tried mechman and singer. no reply from singer... at all even after 3 emails. was talkin with a rep from mechman but didnt get very far..

audiA6_audio Posted December 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Another huge question.. which i probably shouldve started with...will i need an upgraded alt? ill be pushing about 3200w total rms. i plan on doing the big 3 aswell. opinions welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zydrix Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 For 3200 watts I would say that you really do need a HO alt. check with DC power an see if they make 1. Or excessive amperage. U could also call up tenney alt an Iraggi alts. I'm sure one of those will be able to make one for u My build 98 s10 2.2 3 american bass HD 15s with psi soft parts.

MECHMAN Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 We have a new line of Billet-Tech alternators that have interchangeable mounting ears. We probably could put something together that would be close enough for you to adapt in. We can put the right pulley and plug on it, that is no big deal. You can see pictures and technical drawings on www.billetalternator.com , if you measure your unit, you might find something close. The cool part about the Billet units, is that they use 6 phase hairpin stator technology to get output curves comparable to a large case alternator, in a small case sized package. http://www.billetalternator.com/index.php/products/alternators.html here are two that look like they might be close to your stock unit: 1-888-MECHMAN www.Mechman.com [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
