Upgrade alternator?

[91dime]

Not sure if this has been mentioned or not but if youre gonna get a higher amp alternator you probably should make sure the big power wire coming out of it can take the extra amps. I know this is an extremely important thing to do when upgrading from a stock 75amp to a 130amp on the foxbody cars.

Yeah the big 3, they should all be atleast 4g wire.

91dime, i'm working on the big three right now.

4g is huge! It took me all the butane in my benzomatic to heat up the end for the new ground strap!

i bought a special after market one from summitracing.com and its nice cause i need it cause of my audio and lights system - tv ps3 setup i think its 75 amps

I've looked into it - the Aspire alt is the same 50A that ours are unless mine had been swapped.
91 Protege alt is 80A and will bolt up just fine with the festy bracket and wires
90 MVP is 70A but needs a different bracket & festy wires
