i've never heard of them but i would like to know i need to get a higher voltage one because of my air ride
Hey everyone.. I jus called and spoke to them and they said they have a 170amp direct replacement, but they want me to call back tommorow and get alll the info. >smile.gif>
Ok people here's the deal
Stock 94-99 celica's came with a 70 or 80 amp alternator..... They have ONE optin for us 1.8l and 2.2l that requires no modifications at all. Fits right in. This is a HIGH performance alternator pushing a massive 170 amps. Here's the bad part..... It's $649.99....... But there is an option for it.... hopefully someone buys it >smile.gif>
i heard if you need more power from your alternator, find a shop that can change the current brushes in the alternator to high-performance ones. i'm not sure how much that would compare to the ones posted in the link above, but it would be the cheaper alternative.

I dont get it?
well.. there are metal brushes inside every alternator that when friction is present, it creates voltage. these brushes can be changed for *better* ones to produce more power. this is great for when you add an aftermarket stereo in your car. i got it from this one girl who only owns toyotas and told me this. she's been a mechanic for years and has done this more than once. i believe her.

how much does it help and how much does it cost?
