anyone have any replaced ac condencor with alt?

[MACnonsence6]

i have a 98 neon and its been a hard time trying to find an alt that will do what i need. i have dreams of 2 12s trunk car so im looking for a high amp alt ive asked before and people have suggested replacing the condensor with a one wire alt. has anyone actually done this that could give me some advice. i know i would need to modify or even a custom bracket. but how do you calculate how much power said alt is going to use off the engine. i plan to do a 2.4 out of a stratus swap with a complete rebuilt and hotter cams so im looking at a motor with around 200hp and a little less then that for tq. just trying to get an idea on what ill need to support an alt to make that kinda power on a daily aplication

Yes, but in a blazer

Didn't take away any power from the engine that I could tell

first of all whats the setup how much power your gonna run second why take the ac compressor out unless a/c doesn't work, I need my a/c in Ga.

I would say just about 10hp maybe but I doubt you will feel it. I am sure it will have close to the same drag as the condenser.

Have you contacted Mike Singer for a alt rebuild? He rebuilt one for me on a 03 Lancer and now i have 200+ for my 3000 watt system and it handles it great. But i do have 3 batterys total. But he can rebuild anything at a great price. $400+ for mine and worth every penny.

if you are going to make a bracket, contact mechman and see if they can hook you up. They could only make a 160 or 180 for my car, but an S series with a bracket would fit, 240 amps ftw.

edit:

then you could keep your a/c

Singer & no Brackets is my vote! lol

[Jessica]

mike is a great guy, but i would call DC, Mechman and Singer. they don't list everything on the website. Never know what you can find.

[MACnonsence6]

ive contacted dc with no reply mechman has one but i have to modify it and use a diff belt for it to work perhaps singer.

sent a message but i feel like ive done that before? so i may have already tried and gotten no reply

Singer is a burst guy can take him a while to get back to you.

As for a bracket to fit an alt where the AC is you could talk with local machine shops. It can be done but can cost a few hundred extra.
