99FLHRCI Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Who rebuilds/beefs up alternators around here. I am having trouble finding a replacement for mine. I would also like to get it beefed up a little bit. It is currently a 90 amp. It would be nice to bump it at least to a 110 or 130 amp. I can only find special order alternators due to it being a Type R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPL_Josh Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Contact Tom at ohiogen.com Ohio Generators are some of the best, and support an Ohio company. I have one of toms 295 amp Alts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99FLHRCI Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Sent them an email. Site looks like it is under construction? Only thing I could find about them online was a couple years old. Are they still doing alternators? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bruh Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 josh's alternator is beast. Jumped our kodiac 4500 diesel, that was completely dead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99FLHRCI Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Just talked to them. Sounds like who I may be getting it from. $395 for a stock housing that is 180 amp instead of the factory 90 amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPL_Josh Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Sweet, my 275 does 295 amps. I'm sure the 180 is underrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99FLHRCI Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 They said it should be underrated by about 15-20 amps. More then enough for anything I am doing with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Das Borgen Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 the better question is why exactly do you think you need more than a 90amp generator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99FLHRCI Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Because I have a higher draw then factory so a higher output then factory is desired. I will not need 180 amps but, 110 or 130 could be used at full draw. Sitting at a light everything slows down. Off-idle I am fine. So with a 180 my alternator should never break a sweat, even when I add my UFO lights and turbo bass system so the other ricers will except me.

99FLHRCI Posted February 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Is your ALT on a v-belt or a serpentine? Serpentine but it is the only thing powered by that belt. I have 3 serpentine belts on my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickey4271647545519 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Serpentine but it is the only thing powered by that belt. I have 3 serpentine belts on my car. wonder why they did that? I was curious as I'm trying to figure how big of alt I can run on the v-belt in my truck.

Dave1647545494 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 you could get that motor in cars that didn't have a/c or power steering alt on your truck can make as much as you want long as it fits in the bracket and you keep the belt tight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
