I know there is an 110 or 140 amp alternator in place of dsm and vr4, but I don't remember from which car that mitsu made.... is it 92 galant GSX? anybody knows?
well, looks like luck is on my side for once. No fried alternator, but the insulation that I placed on the alternator wires/plugs was somehow touching the terminal of the alternator and shorted it to the block??!! so I don't get any charge from the alternator. Found it by jiggling the wires and heard what sounded like spark jumped and with some careful angles and flashlight, I saw the damn thing sparked with jiggle.
Where would you buy a heat shield?I have a dump pipe,wich dumps the hot exhaust right onto the alternator.Im actually thinking of replacing it now,because i go trough alternators too much.
Get a alternator relocation kit, I think there's a couple out now a days. But I would guess that you would have to make a shield up yourself.
I'm trying to get some specs on the kit to have my friend mill a couple up at his machine shop. I hate looking at the alt down in the front /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

That might be a problem. I would recommend moving the dump pipe or something.
And I mean making one out of sheet metal looks pretty simple. Maybe, after the 23rd (my GRE date) I will make a template for everyone /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
I was thinking about doing a relocation but I kinda want to re-install my A/C /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bawling.gif
I have same reasoning as far as relocating the alternator and deleting the a/c.Summers can get pretty hot out here,so that is not an option.Probably just going to remove the dump pipe and install a regular o2 housing.As much as i like the dump pipe,in the end its just not worth it.
