Ok, i've done a search, and I could not find anything. So here's my question.

Does anyone know the answer to any of these questions?

- Where can I find a high output alternator for a 1994?

- Where can I find a kit to change my existing alternator to a high output?

- What alternators match our car? I wasn't sure how specific each type of alternator was, meaning, can a 3400 alternator fit on a 3100, or a 2.4 fit on a 3100, ect. We are using the CS-130 and CS-130D type alternator, correct?

**update**
I found this. Has anyone by any chance gone through this company? Or does anyone have a company they have went through?

Interesting website, the Quick Start seems like hella alternator.

I 'googled' them and found a page that lists local dealers.
None in Phoenix, but three in FL including one in Orlando.

Might make it easier to trust them if you had a local dealer at you whom you could throw the ashes if the thing fries on you. :roll2:

Good luck.

lol, ty. I'll give it a shot.

Rick,
On the DB Electric page it says the following:

"For safety, you must your main charging wire to a 4 gauge cable to allow maximum charging current. "

I know it sounds redneck, but do you have any clue what he means?

With your standard 105 amp altenator, you have about a ten AWG wire that feeds the battery and the rest of the car from the altenator.

A high output altenator is going to need a larger wire (4 AWG) to feed the battery and the rest of the car.
