Alternator upgrade for a 1600 diesel .

Need a more powerful alternator for ice upgrade (120A would be nice )

What the most powerful alternator i can  fit without major fabrication work and from which car ?.

Whatever will fit I guess, don't forget the higher the power the more HP is sapped from the car (although that won't bother an ICE lover anyway)  :wink:

I've seen a few in the 120A range (online) i'm sure. Diesels are I think 90A or so…

And dont forget to match the battery to it, as I said in the other post anything else is a waste.

More horse power sapped …

How much slower can a mk1 1.6 non turbo go ??? :( .

mk2 diesels have a 90a fits straight on.
i ran a mk2 for 4 years massive 2 amp system standard diesel battery never had any problems

Depends how much ice you want, your probably good for about 400w worth anyway, possibly more.

I think after careful consideration ,a mk2 diesel 90A will do me .
