Ok so I have a couple of questions

first what amperage is a stock alternator for a 2001 acura CL type S

second will a non type alternator fit on my type(im pretty sure it will)

third does the non type s have a higher out put alternator on it

last does anyone know what am OEM alternator goes for

 

I think its 105 amps for the type s

yes the non type s will fit

the type p is 120 amps (again I think)

It depends on who you go to but I think around $300 with core charge

 

Thats what I thought I found one on ebay for way cheaper

But can anyone confirf those first 3 things

 

you have it reversed.

"Alternator: 3.2CL - 105 amp. max
Type S - 120 amp. max"

Got that straight from myacura.com

 

I thought it was the other way but I found one for a non type s thats 120 amps so I guess I will get that one

 

do you know if the 00-01 Odyssey alternator would work on our 3.2?

 

it looks like it depends on the transmission

I just put in 2001 Acura CL on the site.

The CL-S auto alternator is 31100-PGE-A51 while the CL-P alternator is 31100-PGE-A11. So they are two different alternators on the auto CL and CL-S

 

It looks like the 99-01 oddyssey alternator fits on our car ?

But im not sure because it looks like a different part # but it is 130 amp alternator so it is different part

can anyone confirm that the 1999 to 2001 honda oddyssey alternator fits the CL ????

 

This is the alternator Im looking at I think it fits but im not sure

can anyone confirm

So I think im going to buy this and see if it fits and then report back to you guys

unless anyone can tell me it fits

 

^^ thats why i brought that up i saw that 130 amp also and was planning on getting it for my car. They said it fits but both part numbers dont match up.

 

well the CL-P# and the CL-S# doesnt match but thats because they are different amperage's I think that's why they don't match but it should fit im ordering it on Tuesday and Installing it later next so ill tell you if it fits

unless some knows for sure it doesnt fit!?

 

If it says it fits either of the CL-P or CL-S part number alternators then it should fit because those alternators are interchangable

 

Its weird when you goo online sometimes it says it fits CL-P, CL-S and Odyssey and then some times it says it only fits CL-P and CL-S so I hope there not two different alternators for that year of oddyssey !!!

 

any update on the alternator?

 

All the J series alts are pretty much interchangeable but the one you DON'T want is the delphi one as that is a GIANT POS. The only problems you might have are wiring it up but I believe all the denso units have the same plug. There are a lot of people that use the TL/CLS alts in the 6th gen accord after making the harness 4" longer to reach the plug.

 

Are you replacing due to failure or just wanted to upgrade the electrical?

 

I got the underdrive pulley on right now and am sitting at 12 when im stopped as soon as it goes under 12 im getting a new one, and all this and the system is out of my car for the winter so in the spring im getting a new one for sure

Im not sure what to do because I was talking to a guy and he said that when you get a high output alt, like 140amps you lose the power at idle which would b the biggest problem

IS That True ??

 

I've never heard that but that don't mean it ain't true. And 140 is not HO in my book. I'm sure it's been mentioned but don't forget the Big 3 with 0 gauge.

 

ok if u run the Underdrive pulley you'll need an overdrive pulley set for ur alternator like these...

http://cgi.ebay.ca/OBX-Overdrive-Pow...item5639bb9893

they are in the mail for me, when i get them i'll let u know if they are OEM size or if they are TRUE overdrive, then they're be smaller in diameter. I'll keep you posted

 

Yeah let me know one in for the alt. whats the other one for

I know its not HO but its higher

 

it's for the power steering and the alt..

I got them for LOOKS... (hhehe i'm even painting the power steering... don't worry, i will making a thread about engine bay completion in approximately 1 month.) also getting a red/brushed aluminum simota oil catch can to put the icing on the cake.

I wanna get the BAY done before the first meet i hit up this year. And i'm just ahead of schedule right now. ;-)

god i luv popping the hood

 

my cluster dims like crazy and this 6 speed alt is POS my car dies just rolling the window up and down like 5-7 times, while sitting in the car with the key out you can see the window roll up slower and slower, then i need a jump. btw im running a 10" solo x, with a hifonics brutus 2600, and kappas all around with a 2 farad capacitor.

 

If it's dying while rolling the windows up/down and the car is off I would blame the battery not the alt.

Also, you ever consider getting a second battery in lieu of the cap? If your lights are dimming still that cap isn't doing its job.

 

battery gets KILLED by drain and constant recharge. killed...

i went through 4 batteries in 5 years on my probe cause of all the weird ass problems i had which were due to the fact i had an underdrive pulley and... yea took me forever to solve.

 

x2

 

Wait untill you see mine

 

i'd love to see someone 1-up me in the engine bay category for an N/A set-up.

I am bias towards the plenums tho I must admit.

 

Give me 3 weeks

 

u better have the plenums.... i know u don't tho...

probably got the 09 TL SH manifold eh?

 

Mines for sho less go (go cost too much at the moment) you kno how I like lights

 

Just wait

 

i have an interstate battery. and it worked fine i know for sure its the alt. As i pound my system the alt doesnt put out enough amps to recharge my battery that is why the battery dies. Imagine if im pulling all that juice of course the ALT has to recharge the battery. Basically ill pound the system turn off the car and alt doesnt have enough power to recharge the battery. I check the acid level on my battery its still up there. Even if i run a second battery what will recharge the second battery the 6 speed alt wont even be able to pull 2 batteries.

 

Two batteries are only good if you want to run your system with your car off plus to set that up it exspensive , Im going to wait for CLS to try out that overdrive pulley, and then get a better ALT (like oddys one)

I not sure if this would wreck your alt but you should look at getting an overdrive pulley for yours aven with out the underdrive crank pulley !

 

i am not even running an aftermarket sound system I'm doing it cause SOMETIMES, only SOMETIMES, the lights will ever so slightly dim and that's due to the alt not spinning enough thanks to my UD pulley.

So i'm getting the OBX ones cause 1st the looks COOOL, second this SHOULD fix my lil issue.

and 3rd.. i'll keep this thread updated... should be on by the end of NEXT weekend..

i'm going to Sudbury for 3 or 4 days starting tomorrow, so no time for my car :-(

 

 

You have twice the amps which means you can satisfy your sound equipment without robbing your other accessories such as interior lights, headlights, hvac fans, etc. So it's good for listenig while the car is on as well.

Btw, having battery acid in your battery doesn't mean it's not shot. Have you had it tested at your local autoparts store? I'm still not convinced it's your alt

 

just test the battery urself with a voltmeter

 

its my weak alt its a 6 speed doesnt put out enough amps as an auto cl.
