you could probably go with the 2.5 alternator since the 1.8 will swap over i dont know what the amperage is though

I got a 220 amp alternator from Iraggi Alternators. I don't regret it. His book had some contradictions in size for our car, but we worked through it and finally got it to work. And mzdspd on here even adapated the same one I have (for a 4 cyl) on the 6 cyl w/ an easy bracket. You won't find a stronger alternator for the money.

email him:
dominick@tds.net

Tell him you heard it from me, and make sure he tells you about the adjustable regulator. I charged at 16volts for months before he told me how to get it back down to 14-15. I fried my battery that way :)

yah, we had lots of problems, but I got mine to work after the ...what 3rd time it went back to him?? But I think we got it all taken care of?? I don't know, I haven't had ANY problems w/ it since... *knocks on wood*
But as far as high output alternators, affordably, it's the ONLY option we have :(

Edit: and there will be no mention of rewound alternators in this thread b/c they are just crap. They can't take the heat and they WILL die... it's only a matter of time (dependant on how hard you run them)...
