B16A alternator.. What else can fit?

[SA6YEuro]

Always wondered wat else alternator can fit in the B16A? not the mistaken the current 1 is at 60amp rite?

Pls share or std is still the best...... fyi std B16A has history of the distributor n altenator easily kaput!! :sad_smile:

u can modify if u want to put a bigger capacity alternator..maybe 110amp..

heheh... true... easily kaput. n stocks aren't that many at chop shop either. recond probably easier to get. but... don't know how long it'll last =(

I thought easy kaput item was the distributor... alternator also easy kaput ka?

 

[HanafyEG]

[sky_kids]

err...
feedback are not really good lor..

If you worry about distributor, then get a separate ignition management module running an external coil.

Expensive, but not very prone to failure (but electronic things, you know lah!), and no moving parts to wear out.

Alternator prone to failure on H badge cars? Now that's something new to me!

The distributor prone to failure, I can understand, since H cars run at a slightly higher RPM than other cars, but the alternator still doesn't rotate as fast, since it uses a slightly smaller pulley (compared to other makes) to reduce rotational speed.

Still, I could be wrong and require re-education, so other's opinions are probably valid as well.
