Its been covered before... Search the 2nd gen alternator upgrade and you should find something. I believe its quite a simple swap as well.

For what it cost to do the conversion I took my Alt. to a company and they rebuilt it it upgraded it to put out 125 amps. Cost about $120. I worked great and this was the 3rd car i had them do thist to. There product is really good and never had a problem.

Nick,

The company takes are stock alt and mods it so that it can put out 125amps? Thats pretty nice, I would go that route if I hadnt already snagged a GM alt for dirt cheap.

Yea I used them when i was running a huge system in my old Honda CRX I had a stock Alt. rebuilt to put out over 200 amps but it did cost a good penny.

Or, if you really need power, you could always go with dual alternators/batteries. Does add a bit of weight though. hehe
