alternator upgrade

[hondakid1996]

okay, so im upgrading my system and its pretty clear i need a bigger alt. But they are hella expensive. So i got to thinking, what about just swaping it with a bigger factory one out of another honda. i was thinking a minivan or something might have a bit bigger one. so my question is, does anyone know of another factory alternator that will fit my 91 lx? thanks alot!

According to parts stores specs the one out of the prelude has ten amps more output. Direct fit.

I wonder what a 1st gen odyssey puts out

[sonikaccord]

one of the odysseys puts out like 140 ish

A 10 amp upgrade is pretty small if you're gonna upgrade.

Go with Mechman. The extra money would be well worth it.
And I think the Odyssey alternator might cause some belt slippage.

mechman and dc power both carry and make direct bolt on ho alts for our cars and both r great.

id be interested to see the odyssey alt tryed does any one know what year the 140 amp alt is off of? and what motor block it used?

I didn't realize dc made a direct bolt on for our cars. sweet.

yeah man like 4 different direct bolt on like a 180 and a 250 in the hp and xp series i think it is i haven't talked with kyle in a while tho so they mite have more now i think a 180 was right around 400 even with shipping

That's kinda pricy. I was looking into just getting one of the universal slim fits that Mechman makes and making that work, saves a lot of money.

shit, 140 amps is way better. and the junkyard by my house has like 10 different odysseys. The average price for an alt from that place is like 15 bucks too. cant beat that at all! i mean for that price id find a way to make it work.

could you do a pully swap? like take my f22a1 alt pulley and throw it on a odyssey f22b alt?

If the alt is from a 2.2 it should work just fine. I was thinking it was a 140 amp alt from an odyssey with like a v6 or something.

A v6 alternator might fit but the belt may slip under heavy loads.

okay sweet. yeah i googled it, the first gen odyssey alt pushes 130 amps so that will be awesome.

Get the right belt size and you won't have issues with slippage......
