Guest steveo Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Is the stock alternator strong enough to run a stereo system? (2 6x9’s, two 5’s an amp and a low power 8inch bazooka) How many amps does it put out? What can I do to help it out? Anyone done the gm alternator conversion? I’ m going with a small block setup in a year or two, so I should be fine then right? Thanks steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-ManQ45 Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Stock is adequate if yours is fuel injected, unless you have a BIG amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest steveo Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 I think im sticking to a smaller "sane " size amp. do you know the specs on the alternator ? (280z fuel injected) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-ManQ45 Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 I think 65 amp output Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nismo280zEd Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 i believe mine put out 70amps with my 78 280z (fuel injected) That is not enough power if you are ever in the rain, headlights on, blower on, wipers on, and stereo, it just doesn't have enough juice. Which is why i upgraded. Most guys on here upgrade to the 94 maxima alt but for the price it was i didn't think it put out enough power. So i went with the 95 maxima alt. puts out about 225 amps 8) now that is more than enough juice... no problems at all If you need some help installing let me know i can put some pics up later when i get my card reader. -Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
