I want to upgrade my KA24DE alternator to one that outputs at least 100A (if not 125, 150). I did some searching and I see that I basically have a few options:

1) install s14 SE alternator (measly 90A)
2) have my alternator rebuilt (buy used s13 or s14 SE alt off ebay)
3) PAY $$$ for H/O Stinger alt

I'm most likely going with #2 and I would like to know if any of you have had your alternator rebuilt by a Socal shop (SFV/LA area). How much did it cost, and what is the new amp rating?

Would it be better to take an S14SE alt to the shop to be upgraded?

Thanks :coold:

Well I'm in San Diego and a local shop here did a rebuild on my alternator for about $150 and bumped it up from 90 to 130.
