Alternator
Hey Guys
Anyone know the amps of a TL-P alternator at idle around 800 RPMs? And correct me if I'm wrong both the TL-s and TL-p have a 120 amp alternator? So are the amps constant or are they less at idle?
Thanks

Im not saying you are wrong, but why the hell would the type s have a "heavy duty" alternator? Not like it comes with anything that needs anymore current than the TL-P.

the TL-S has 4 channel ABS instead of 3 channel, a VSA system vs TCS
torque sensitive steering vs speed sensitive
these may make a difference, therefore having a 120amp is reasonable

I would assume that the alternator is the same, the rating is different because the redline is different. So the output at idle would not be as high as at redline (105/120 are listed as 'max'). You could check the part numbers for TL-P and TL-S alternators and find out that part at least..

ummm it should be close to the same. because when I have the car in idle the alternator keeps up with everything - when I look at my voltage on my capacitor.

Since 80 max at idle is almost as high as the TL-P max, I think it's safe to say 80 is higher 
. If it scales the same the stock would be like 50 max at idle..
