Anyone have any expierience with putting in a high output alternator in a 2002 TL? I see one on 4alterstart that is 180 amp but it says that it is for up to 01 do you guys think it would still fit in my 02? If anyone else knows of any other brands please let me know. Thanks for any help.

I don't know of any other alternator but i know for a fact that it will fit your 02. The plug is the same.

hey billy what kind of system are you running. i was qouted last time 700 dollars for a 240amp alternator.

check out ohio generators they have some or u can send in yours to be rewound.

beware of the workmanship of the place you are sending you alt to. I've heard quite often that while the alt are being rewound they'd screw it up and cause problems

The TL-S has a high output one already, 120amps I believe. Do you need more? maybe?

I am going to run Image Dynamics components in the door and an IDMAX sub. I am going to use a Phoenix Gold Xenon 200.2 to power the comps and a PG Ti800 to power the sub. Both are class A/B amps so they will draw alot of power so I was thinking of putting in the 180 amp alternator. I would try not to turn it up to max but the 200.2 is supposed to draw 60 amps at max and the PG says it would draw 100 amps at max. But I don't think I would turn it up so loud so i was thinking the 180 amp alt would do me well. Just sometimes I would like to turn it up really loud. I heard mine has a 105 amp alterntor not 130

there you go just leave the H/O one you have in.
BTW I think as a general rule the current draw(amps) is about 10% of the power output (watts) I think your fine and even if you get close to 100amps of draw it'll be momentarally and a cap can help ease the load.

Yeah you are probably right thanks for the info!
