alterstart alternators

[GTPhreak]

They are here in Dallas, and have pretty good pricing. Plan to pick one up here in the next couple days, should I grab a 150A or 160A? both are within $10 of each other. And any experience with the quality of these units?

RC has one, i believe the 160.

I just bought a chrome 160a, should be here on tuesday.

I think I am going to go ahead and just grab one of the 160A ones...standard "non-bling" case for me though

Here is the link in case anyone is interested. I think I am going to pick one up tomorrow I will let you know the results

Did you have to buy anything else besides the alternator for the install?

 

[GTPhreak]

picked it up a little while ago. need to get my pulley put onto it. seems to be pretty high quality. hopefully get it on tonight or tomorrow morning

put it on along with a set of underdrive pulleys earlier this evening. I am going to have the overdrive pulley that was on it powdercoated black to match the rest and then put it back on. seems pretty good so far though, the pulleys did help a bunch

Sorry it took so long to reply.
I got the 160A Chromer. (of course)
Bill over at Alterstart was GREAT!.
All you need extra is the 4 ga wire...direct bolt on. LOOKS awesome. They even give you a slightly smaller pulley. Helps to accommodate a slightly off-size belt.

GOOD LUCK!

Cool. I might pick one up sometime to help solve the voltage problem the U/D's made.

OR...
You could just put the stock pulley back on the alternator.

It isn't anything serious, my lights just dim at idle.

the alterstart comes with an overdrive pulley on it. I am going to get it powdercoated then replace the underdrive i swapped on. Bill is the guy I got it from up there

I recieved my alt today. Man is this thing nice! I got the chrome one, and it came with a chrome pulley as well. Very high quality.

<-- The Anti-bling. my pulley is getting powdercoated right now, and before long the case will be powdercoated black

$130 the price is right, that's for sure. I'll probably step up to one of those when I get my JL1000/1
