JPI no longer does the high output alt to my knowledge. www.4alterstart.com does.

The 165 amp high output alternators do not charge worth a damn under 800 rpms.

Its not a bolt in afair but I retro'd a 03' highlander 130amp with a tiny grind on the ear mount and a small bracket and a new belt. It charges awsome. I can listen to music at idle without the headlights diming.

After I cleaned up my grounds under the hood I can listen to music at idle without dimming as well. It's just that my 5 channel amp is running maybe 300 watts total.
