heres the question. does anyone already have a beefed up alt? where did you get it from? can you suggest any place to get it from?

or will the stock one work fine? ive been told that it is a good idea to upgrade the alternator...

I'm about the hook up my 1400watt amp,myself. A freind of mine has a high-output alternator called the "iceburg " on his Toyota,even though its made specifically for GM applications,so maybe thats a possibility? Take it to an alternator shop is what I plan on doing; They should be able to rebuild it to have substiancially higher output. Its called rebrushing or something?

Bump b/c I'd like to some more ideas too.

If you have a S13 the s14 alternator is a 90 amp instead of 80 amp. This is of course if you have a Ka still. You can get a alternator place put more coils on the alternator which helps.

Does the S14 one bolt directly to the S13 KA24DE?

Lol. Post what happens....Like how much more power you get and what it costs man.

It probably wouldn't hurt to get a larger capacity battery as well as you increase the electric power demands on the car.
