BannisterEc Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Hi Currently stuck in a huge dilemma on what size alternator to get with a 1200cc engine. I'm in South Africa trying to find a replacement Ho alternator for a Fiat Palio 2 2005 1.2 Panelvan. My vehicle consists of 1 x Taramps Hd8000, 1 xPioneer 4ch amp on 2 x Nsb red 110ah and front Optima Bluetop with a 56ah rating. I found a guy in Sa that has BRAND new 170amp and 240amp 6phase universal(as he claims) or S series alternators for sale but I am not sure if running these will put strain or cause any problems with my motor??? Any views on this??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BannisterEc Posted December 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 These are not a direct bolt and will need a bracket made up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Fizzy Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 You will see a MAJOR loss of horsepower (what horsepower you do have lol) at full tilt and it may stall your vehicle out. I would just be careful when playing music. What was your voltage drop with a stock alt? And what other electrical upgrades do you currently have. Edit: reading>me. Just saw your current electrical. under construction I hate People with crappy primered cars rolling on hubcaps that are louder then me. u hate c-fizzy?

BannisterEc Posted December 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 My stock alternator idles 13.8 on the alternator itself, I think it is dropping to 12.5 at the moment. Besides the big3 and Nsbs and optima everything is stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
