Accord dual Alt Setup

I have a 1990 Honda Accord EX, i am about to start a build in it, and sadly the largest drop in alternator i can find for it is about 170a, do any of you know a company that sells dual alt kits, or should i just omit my power steering and drop an alternator in its place instead?
Also, i have never run a dual alt setup, if i want to retain the oem voltage regulator on my secondary alternator, i should be able to just piggy back the oem regulator on the stock alternator plug, correct?

Call and talk to Matt at Mechman...1-800-MECHMAN

Thanks

man thats pricey

a little pricy but you get what you pay for. Not very many, if any complaints floating around about mechman. Great product, great service.

450, yea its pricey, but the iraggi and ohio gen alts are well over that, i bought a 150a load boss alt once for $250 and its been going for 6 years now without problem. they are even cheaper now..

well i know when i was looking for an alt i called 2 companies an that was ohio gen an irraggi. for a 170 i think at ohio gen it was like 500 i think an for a 260 from iraggi it was 450. but the deal flopped i ran out of money so no h/o alt waaaa waaa waaaa

any one say ohio gen yet if not let me say this now


OHIO GEN

Just for reference if you have the ability to make some minor modifactions to your factory brackets it is actually quite simple to put a large case GM CS-144 alt onto any honda

jeff i said ohio gen fool did you not read my post

Ohio gen...for the win! Isn't that sanmans saying??

No it's stfu ftw! Lol

Thanks i will look into this, i like the alt setup in the accord with f22 better than my civic or integra (which has the alt tucked under the Intake Manifold). The accord can def handle a larger alternator in its given position, surely even two with the power steering gone.

Oh yeah, I forgot those two lol

Yes.. Single wire chevy large case will work. And alot cheaper.

cheaper isnt always better or in fact it never ever is

Especially when it comes to whores..

I beg to differ, but so be it. Single wire large case from any company should be cheaper. Better ?

its wierd.. couse the few people ive known to deal with mechman arent very happy at all ! id surely invest my money with ohio or powermaster for the customer service alone.

any pics of the bracket mods? i could probly pop the hood and see for my self. but that would envlove.. well actaully getting up and going outside and doing that lol

hmm.. well some of you have a good sampling of the alternators on the market, but so far my one and only aftermarket alternator, i had it powering my stock battery + 2 Xstatic Batcap 800's just fine and i put that alt on my civic back in 04 and its still running just fine this day. So i may go to Load Boss again just from my own experience.

I will look for some pics when I get home but the only thing that needs changed is the top mount that allows for belt tension. U need to lenghten the slot to allow the alt to pivot back far enough to not hit the block. I just used a cut off wheel and sliced it to the end and used big washers to keep it in place

I have had a large case on our 86,88,90 Crxs and our 98 civic
