Bought a Kinetik High Current Car Audio Power Cells #KHC1800. My question is: Is there special things or upgrades that i have to do when upgrading my alternator to high amp alternator ? What are the implications on the car such as car computer and all the electronic devices ? Is there an amp limit on each car ?

As-21 Posted December 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 big 3. im done. Nothing else? just to replace the big 3 with 0 gauge power cables ? What i am also asking can my car handle high amp alternator ? because the stock runs with 70AMP and i want to upgrade to at least 150 200 amp.

hdorre Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 just do the big 3. A bigger alt can only help your car. There isnt an ampere limit. You could run an alt that puts out a million amperes without hurting anything.

Freshman6969 Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 i run a stock alt on 3500watts roughly at 1ohm and im fine but i have a 136amp stock alt, and only drop to the high 12's at idle on the low notes:) just do the big 3 and you should be fine Legal TL scores145.6 on the dash sealed up in the low 40hz area with the port out145.5 on the dash sealed up @30hz with the port inless then 1k clamped on a 3.5k! Why would you EVER WANT flex?huh?...flex is what can make the lows lower and more air being pushed correct?

Don't worry the plan is to get an alternator from Mechman or DC power. The problem is US Toyota corolla 2003 is a 1.8L and 1ZZ Engine mine is different 1.6L and 3ZZ engine . I hope there is a way to get pass that problem. BTW is there any differences between alternators for different type of engines ? Or it just have to fit the bolts ? or different type of connectors ? and lets not forget the belt alignment ? Differences from us engines and European car engines ? (like there is on home electricity 110V and 220V) And what about the alternator Volt output ? is there a volt limit for car electronics and battery ? What about the engine performance ?

What are the implications on the car such as car computer and all the electronic devices ? Is there an amp limit on each car ? I will try to keep the answers as simple as possible to help maintain proper thought understanding through language translation. When upgrading to a high output alternator you will want to upgrade your wiring accordingly. An alternator will only provide as many amps are required, mostly trickle charging your battery. When used in car audio you can pull out max amps at peak of an alternator and trying to pull 270amps through 8g wiring will fry that wire...but that wire alone. An alternator normally will charge at 16volts the max when cold, but generally charge at 14.4volts. Voltage is what you need to watch, as spikes into 18volts can fry bulbs, stock electrical, ecu, and wiring. It comes down to voltage vs current. A high output alternator if properly installed and used will not fry your electrical systems. There is no ampere limit on a vehicle, and the thought that a 270amp alternator is always shelling out 270amps is incorrect. Electronics will only pull as much current as needed. It takes power to make power. Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
