Troubles with finding Alternators for Newer Vehicles


Recommended Posts

Hey Guys,

I know what you're thinking once you've seen the thread title; "well obviously they haven't designed one for your car yet" etc :P

Just have a read anyway and leave a suggestion if you can think of anything

Alright so, I own a 2012/13 Mitsubishi Outlander ES 2.4L NON-Sports Edition which is the exact same colour and look as the image below

Trouble is, I am having trouble finding alternators for it, or any other model of Outlander for that matter.

There is currently no audio system in it yet however I have all the gear ready to go which consists of the following

(2) Sundown Audio 12" ZV4s (first two to enter Australia :D )

(1) Crescendo Audio BC3500D (shortly swapping out to a 5500D)

(2) Fullriver HC110 Batteries for the Rear LINK

(1) Fullriver HC55 up the front.

All of this will be ran over a standard electrical system (12v/14.4v) and I'm going to require a bigger alternator if I wish to keep the tunes going without turning it down to charge everything back up as often.

The stock alternator is a 110amp and I'm not too sure if it's actually changable (I've read some cars you need to do extra stuff etc?).

What I've done so far

So far I have sent an email to a few US H.O Alt companies to see what they say, I've been emailing Mike @ SingerAlts who hasn't come to a conclusion, I've sent a quote message off to Mechman, I've messaged Iraggi but they never responded and I have also checked out places such as DCPower and a couple of others I've heard of while stalking forums.

What does the community suggest I do next to try and find something?

Yeah being the fact that everything is just starting to go into this I'm trying to get absolutely everything together; already set for good Batts and KnuKonceptz wire has arrived and ready to go.

Based on Wikipedia, my model is the third generation which has the 2.4L 4J12 engine. Searching with that term is only really telling me it was also used in some of the newer Lancers too
