3G alternator kits???
 

Hey all,
I am really wanting to do the 130amp upgrade to my car. My problem is that I can only find one place to buy a complete kit. I could probably piece it together myself, but I would rather have everything together from the start.
So my question is, where is the best place to buy the complete kit for the least amount of money? ( The only place I've found is PA-Performance and they want like $260 for everything ). If anyone knows of any place other than PA let me know.
Thanks

Go to a junkyard and get the alternator and buy the wires and terminals for a few dollars more. Do a search here and on google.

Ramchargers in Michigan has them. I was in there recently and noticed a customer bought one with an upgraded power cable and plugs. Hope that helps.

Just go into your local parts store and buy a OEM alternator for a 1994-95 stang. Then go to a stereo shop and pick up some 4 guage wire, ends, fuse (150 amp), and fuse holder.

I did this conversion on my 91 GT and it is working great, I can have my stereo turned up with all my accesories and my battery still charges.

Don't waste your money, the "kit" is nothing special. Just go out and buy what you need.

I did the G3 swap myself and it only cost me $100.

Just like RPM427 said, go to your local autoparts store and buy an alt for a 94 or 95 GT. Here are a few "How To" links with pictures...

I got mine at a local electrical motor rebuild shop. The wiring is super simple. The guys at the shop showed me what to do since I had an external regulator (ex FHP car). You will have to grind down the bracket by a very small amount. I did it with their grinder in their parking lot. Its a 15 minute job. Just don't be in such a hurry that you forget to disconnect the battery. I did that once. When I dropped my hot wire off the back of the alternator, it almost welded itself to the fuel rail! :eek:
