FourRings Posted October 16, 2015 Report Posted October 16, 2015 Short of strapping a generator on the roof what are my options?I am thinking dual alts and maybe a over drive pulley. What is involved in running dual alts?I can handle the brackets and pulley but how do you go about wiring it all up? Lastly this is on a build outside of the US and budget is a factor.I can easily source 150amp oem units and 200-250 amps will do.So if I'm going to be fabricating it seems logical to go dual vs a 350'ish amp universal that would be VERY expensive to get here,price+ aprox 100$shipping and aprox 30% tax on alt and shipping for a mechman or aprox 40-60$ for a oem + fab is more attractive. Thanks

Thanks what car do you have? where are you located? good alts arent cheap, you dont want to settle for a crappy alt for cheap only to have to replace it.

FourRings Posted October 16, 2015 Author Report Posted October 16, 2015 Its my wifes cousins car in Bulgaria and I'm posting for him because his english isnt so good.As I posted a alternator would be over a grand and probably closer to $1,250 after shipping,insurance,import duties and VAT not too mention it'd be close to a month to get it. Then there is tha fact that they dont make one for a older Audi RS4. I wasnt talking about a cheap aftermarket POS,we can get good used low mileage OEM Bosch all day long for next to nothing compared to trying to import something.
FourRings Posted October 16, 2015 Author Report Posted October 16, 2015 Chances are I'll be doing a build on my Alfa that I keep there too and dual alts is also a option I want to look into for this but the issue with his car is time more than money.I could bring a alt for my car when I go
