Hubaswift Posted July 29, 2022 Report Posted July 29, 2022 Looks like my golf has an unusual vehicle specific alternator, can't find one above 150A. Want one more around 350A/400A. Is there somewhere I should be looking, or do most people in these cases make an adaptor to fit a more standard alternator? Looks pretty tight in there. Stock Golf TSI 2017.
Hubaswift Posted August 1, 2022 Author Report Posted August 1, 2022 Looked around a bit more, and called out to mechman, but it looks like there are just no high output alts available for my car. Damn.
pnutz37 Posted August 3, 2022 Report Posted August 3, 2022 Brand X makes numerous ones that fit your car. I have the same vehicle. You’ll need a different sized belt if you go over 220 (240?) amp
CstrokerV Posted August 3, 2022 Report Posted August 3, 2022 Did you try singer and us alternators? my build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/142505-small-build-log-4-dc-lvl3-10s-tl-update-link-to-rebuild/ http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/154258-rebuild-6-lvl3-12s-update-small-video-nothing-spectacular/ new build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/188181-03-trailblazer-slow-build-8-dc-lvl3-12-m1-motor-m2-parts/
Hubaswift Posted August 4, 2022 Author Report Posted August 4, 2022 Yes! I actually did find out about singer via another thread, and messaged him. I have an alternator ordered and in queue for build. I ended up going with one around 290A and 240A at idle. He didn't mention whether I'd need a different size belt though.
