High-output alternator
#1
How many people here use HO alts? Where di you get yours? How much did it cost? Do any auto manufacturers make them, or are they strictly aftermarket? Do you need a specific alt for a specific car, or are they more or less generic? I drive a 1999 Honda Civic EX sedan. Not sure what size alt I have currently, but I may look to upgrade sooner or later. Any information would be appreciated.

I use 1 in the Mini. Went from 35ish amps to over 180. It was built/ modified specificaly for the Mini. As of yet I couldn't find an manufacter to supply 1. As for price it was an gift from my father he had an friend that owed him an faviour. With his and my time for the modifying and building I'd say around $600. But well worth the time. Look at GM's alt's they seem to adapt resonably easy.

Just get a Buick/Cadillac alterntor. 140 amps stock, and it should fit in with only minor modifications (like an extension bracket).
Way cheaper than something built up, and probably work better at idle than something custom.
