High Output Alternator?
Does anyone have a HO Alternator?
On my SC4 (1uz) I'm currently using a TT Auto Supra Alternator which is supposed to be pretty high in amperage, but I don't think it's keeping up with my E-Fan running.
UNLESS someone knows a bigger pulley I can throw on the alternator

There's plenty of high amperage alternators out there. You just have to know where to look. For instance: http://www.suprastore.com/higoutal175a.html
The supra store has up to 200 amp alternators. You can also buy a smaller pulley (spins faster so it charges the alternator more quickly) for the stock alternator at driftmotion.

So just an FYI the pulley can be changed and it will work but you need to know that you will eventually burn up the regulator, due to overdriving the alternator.

i used these guys on my supra for years. works great. i think i had to use a washer or longer bolt to get the belt to line up but they make high output and price is very fair. i think it was like $249 for 180 amp or so.. equivalent to powerhouse street alternator.

The OP states he already has a high output alternator. His accessories are not getting enough juice, hence my question asking what size cables he is running. Buying a new alternator would be a waist of money if it's the cables causing his problem.

Sorry for getting back so late. I relocated the battery to the trunk. I'm starting to think it's really more of a ground issue. I know a lot of people just put a ground on the chassis (as I did), I have been doing some reading and the right way (I never though about it lol) is to actually ground the engine block with the battery.
OR grounding a frame rail, then putting a ground strap from the rail to the engine.
