I want to do a high output alternator for my ’94 Celica GT. I have already done a ton of research before coming to this conclusion. Here is my issue…THERE FREEKIN’ EXPENSIVE!!! So after more research I discovered a couple of possible solutions that wouldn’t cost a boat load of money. The problem? I can’t find any information of whether or not anyone has ever done this with our car.
Option #1 140 Amps Swap a GM CS144 alternator into the car and modify the mounting to make it fit. Also, I would have to modify the wiring of course to make it work. This bad boy is big though and I am worried about the clearance behind the alternator as there is not much room between the alternator and the heat shield for the headers (stock config). Option #2 120 Amps Try an alternator from a Lexus (since Toyota make would probably do better). I have no idea if this would fit or even if the plugs are different. I was considering maybe an alternator from a ’94 Lexus SC400. With both of these options, I don’t want to end up staring at a battery light on my dash. I was to make everything mesh with the electrical system as best as possible. Even though I’m from Idaho doesn’t mean that I was my car to look like it! ![]() So what do you guys think? Is it possible to do without a bunch of mods? I live in a condo so I am not able to weld or fab anything. Thanks for your input! |
