2007 Honda Civic Si - (8thGenCivic) Alternator Replacement

After being stranded for hours, I knew i had to replace my alternator. I was able to eventually limp the car home after a failed attempt to request a tow service (Another story for another time...) and then the car sat for a couple weeks while I was out of town. Now its time to pull the car apart and replace the alternator. Although I wouldn't consider it difficult, this job was more involved than I had initially expected. Follow along as we replace the main charging component for a vehicle's electrical system!

Thank you sir. This help me do 3 runs of 1/0 OFC from alternator (Mechman 240 amp) to XS D3400R AGM battery (2 positive and 1 ground, bottom right install location on alternator) now my voltage holds 14.27 and my sub slams.

What amp output is your alternator?

[@BILLT_YT]

Whatever stock is... it's just an advance replacement part

[@Willis-de5hx]

That don't tell me anything lol Google says 320amp high output and Napa says the one for me car that they have is 160amp .. very confused

[@BILLT_YT]

@Willis-de5hx sorry that's all I got... I can look up the link to the one I bought, but I never measured it
