bigger alternator installed

[Elton H]

since i installed a better stereo the stock alt wasn't cutting it any more...after some research i picked up a cs-144 out of a 95 cadillac deville which is rated at 100 amps at idle not the 40 or so like the stock one...install was easy its a monster compared to the stocker i was also able to reuse the stock belt
here's the write up i went by CS-144 alternator install

This is awesome! Definitely added to my winter build!

 

[Clemsonfan15]

Nice. I'd like one of those.

100 amps at idle would be great. That's as much as some high output alts.

Dude thats awesome... ive been wanting a new one since my stereo system in the 4runner is needing more power. How much did u get the alt for, was it new or used?

 

[Gonzo113]

Cool. Thank you. I was going to ask at some point here about an alt. upgrade.
Thank you

 

[BTO]

That's cool. What about extra load on the smaller engine?

 

[ironhippy]

Does anyone know if that would be better or worse than the stock alternator in regard to mudproofness/waterproofness?

 

[Elton H]

this ones way more mud proof funny thing is if you look up prices for a stock size one its pretty much the same price as the bigger one ... i picked mine up for about 45 dollars used with a 6month warranty

thanks for sharing, question for you elton, have you noticed any impact on your mileage?

 

[brian2sun]

Nice work. I started a thread on TTORA asking about alternator upgrade choices a few months ago and no one seemed to know what alternators to use. Thanks for the info, adding it to the list of mods..

 

[ironhippy]

yeah this is great info, thanks a lot.

 

[Elton H]

i doubt there will be any effects on gas mileage actually the gm pulley size is slightly smaller than the stock one

 

[Elton H]

next on my list is a bigger battery this one i got out of a jetta is too small and then maybe redo my big 3 in bigger wire

 

[blcktpgsr]

So you didn't do any other modifications like the one's mentioned by FogRunner like the stock belts being 1" - 2" longer? I may just look into doing this mod too sometime...Good find Elton.

 

[Elton H]

ya maybe i got lucky but i manged to squeeze the stock one back on

 

[JohnsD90]

next on my list is a bigger battery this one i got out of a jetta is too small and then maybe redo my big 3 in bigger wire

lol, i gotta civic battery or something, the battery in the tdi jetta is huge in comparision.

 

[Elton H]

ya i think its like 500cca

 

[sn0wrunner]

my alternator just pooped out today. I'm going to replace it tomorrow. I'll see if I can find this model. Thanks for the info!
