spudracer326 · 02-18-2006

I have a 2005 EX coupe and am wanting a 170-200amp alternator. I contacted HOalternators.com and got a quote of almost 800 bucks. That seems like way to much...Ive seen irragis for 200 anyways who makes one for our car....megahertz are you gonna make the gm smallcase???

Yes I am going to make these kits. We are still trying to work on some details which unfortaunately are taking a long time. I thought they were going to be ready a lot quicker but it's taken some time to get the correct parts made and wait for some other stuff to ship. Hopefully sooner than later now though.

Considering the physics behind how an alternator works, I don't see what would take so long to make a HO alt from an existing one.

Well hope you get it done soon!

i saw one on ebay... 160 amp for 01-05 i believe. it was 250 for the buy it now option. i think i might scoop one up, however im a little weary because i got a quote of around 600 for a 160 so 250 bucks seems a little fishy. but it would be nice if it did work

I bought the one on ebay, if it's the same guy, it was excellent. no complaints. if you find the link, I will verify

is it the load boss out of Dallas Texas ? they though say that they added a smaller pully so you have to go out and get one that is the right size which is a bummer.

thats the only one i saw

yeah im just wondering if they have a smaler pully requiring a different belt

allblack02 · 02-19-2006

^^^that is the one that i saw, and yea the retail says 600 bucks but the buy it now option says 279 now, with 16 dollar shipping so i was just wondering if its too good to be true....

I took my old car to a local electronics specialist, and they had to do custom work to make it fit, I believe it was from 90ish to 130 or so.. (best they could do i'd assume) and I know it was under 500. im thinkin 400-450. for the alt itself, custom work to make it fit, then install.

Cypher · 02-19-2006

^^^ are you sure they had to do custom work to make it fit ? it reads as if its a drop in from the ebay posting. maybe you got a different manufacturer or something

ebayers have been know to lie

buyer beware

paradoxblue · 02-20-2006

I checked on ebay for an HO Alt for our cars it says "These alt will not fit canadian civics" anyone know why? :S:S

shmik1 · 02-26-2006

spoonJDMlX · 02-27-2006

kumanan · 02-27-2006

Sedans were made in Canada, coupes in the US (Ohio was it? I forget). His alts pretty much only fit the coupes, due to a slight difference in mounting. I emailed that ebay seller when I was first looking for them and that was his response.

Sorry for reviving a quasi-old thread, would y'all recommend that I upgrade my alternator or just switch to an optima? I'm running 2 TV's 1500W sound system, LED underglow, and air ride suspension? I'm buying the optima within the next week or so, but I wanted to know if that would suffice or if I needed to look into an upgraded alternator. Much thanx....

Cypher · 03-07-2006

yeah i got air ride and a bunch of stereo equipment and laptop too so im wondering what i can do to upgrade the alt on my sedan.
