Has anyone replaced there alternator with a high output one?
If so where can I get one.
I've called a few places with no luck.

 

Sorry I have not heard of any yet, but I'll keep a eye and ear open for them.

 

i think i can get them done but this guy boosts your o.g. alternator he is in riverside cal. if i can find his card he makes them for limosines ...... does anyone know what amperage is the factory one is and i can ask him what he can boost it to

 

try ohio generator they make them for the big systems and why do you want one how big is your system

 

Right now the only way to get one is going to be a rebuild/boost of the stock alternator. Unless you want to take yours off and be without driving your HHR for a week, you could order a new one through your dealer, then take it to an alternator shop. Before I went that far though, I'd check with an alternator rewinding shop to see what (if anything), they think they can do for you. It might not even be worth it.

 

Dominick Irragi can build you one, he gave me a quote a few months back for a 220a alt

dominick@tds.net

builds great alternators.

 

Ohio generator doesn't have anything. They looked at an hhr last week and had trouble just finding the alternator.

 

I talked to gus at ohio gen. they said the alt. wiring is square and all the other alt. are circle so you can't we wired it that's what they said now if you can find some one do it but they said you should have about 140 amps. i think if you run a extra battery

 

I know this is a really old thread, but.............

Been having trouble keeping my batteries charged, so I was shopping for a high amp alternator and found these.

I'm getting the 300 amp so when I upgrade all my electronics, I'll be covered. I'll update during/after install.

 

300 amps are you sure you want to go that high you better find out how much HP thats going to suck from your engine.
