It's been decades but I remember working at an alternator/starter/generator refurbishing shop. Rebuilding alternators all day long for weeks on end wasn't the greatest job, but what it lead too down the road was quite a satisfying job. About a year later I was hired at a large generator service franchise as a machinist and we worked on some big generators. I remember a 5' or 152cm wide generator that was three stories high with a 20' (609cm) long and 3' diameter solid stainless shaft. Hydro generator for dams etcetera. Good paying paying job until the very day I completed my training and got laid off... Never was asked to return. Fun job though.

I just completed the 240 amp mod as is, in the videos. I used enamel wire the same size as the stator windings and it was a bitch to get through the rectifier plate. A bit of bending the tabs open, and they went in with a bit of wrestling around. I have accomplished exactly what's been done in the video series, tomorrow we will tell if I'm opening business! 😂 No, not really, but I'm glad to have saved some $($500) for a moment, ultimately a large case billet DC power unit will take it's place later this week. I now have a really nice OEM built backup, thanks to these videos, and I greatly appreciate the time you took to teach anyone willing to learn. It surely saved me some time. So super easy. I can't believe it. Thanks big time buddy. Upgraded the rotor to the 1.8 ohm version, new rectifier plates with 12 50 amp diodes, large tin plated copper stud, modified stator, new bearings, brushes and regulator, and high temp solder. I even painted the case red, after pulling bearings, parts and hardware. No over spray on the windings as it was removed, or painted parts of the housing that conduct power at the bottom negative side of the rectifier plate. An actual truly professional job, for the cost of a can of paint, the time to watch these videos, and pennies in copper. No shit. I'm sitting here looking at it now, and am pretty super proud I did it myself. It's as good quality as anything else out there, and I get the pleasure of knowing it's done right with top parts. After realizing the difference in rectifier plates, the diodes they contain, options of larger output studs, configuration of the windings, I seriously can't believe how easy it is, and I know exactly the quality of the parts my unit contains. All OEM denso parts. I better shut up, it hasn't been tested yet, but I feel I'll have a winner first thing tomorrow morning after bolting it back into the vehicle. You da fuckin man, man! Thanks again!

[@georgesrisomsak9650]

I wasn't expecting the performance increase I got, and wow, I'm super impressed! I tested today for an hour, and fully heat soaked the alternator, testing the solder joints and rectifier temps. Held up to two old school og saz3500's strapped at 2 ohms(1 nominal each) to full clipping. Between alt, batt and capacitor, I never saw below 13.5 unless I was being flat out abusive. I'm also surprised the power coming from the small case at dead idle. I was expecting it to drop a bit, but it's actually way stronger. I owe you a beer! Best two hours I've ever spent. About to go clamp the output and see where it's at. Idle and full output. Now I have one very nice backup! Thanks again!

OK, I read a bunch of comments after watching all four vids. I have a Durango 160a alternator (junkyard: 56029914AA from a 2004-2006 Dodge Durango) that I put in my 2006 Jeep 4.0L (I'm in the USA). I had to cut off one of the ears, all good. Now, I'm not doing anything till spring as it's colder than a witches tit at the moment. But on ebay, there is a rebuild kit including bearings ect. and also includes "Rectifier Diode Assembly, Chrysler, Denso / Number of Diodes: 12 / Diode Amps: 50 / Stud Size: M8-1.25 / Mounting Distance: 117mm - INR421". So, I don't know what's inside the current alternator, but I'm going to replace all the bearings and that rectifier while it's open. Wish I could post a link to ebay but YT is shortbus sometimes. I've already upgraded all the jeeps main wiring to 4 gauge. Can't wait to do this one, thanks for your videos. I was a little confused but after watching a few times I got the gist of how you're doing the wiring. I don't need 320a, so I'm only going to do the 240a wiring. I do a lot of camping in Nevada and need to be able to charge/recharge stuff, inverters, lights ect. I don't have a winch as I don't want to carry it around and my access to cell networks is pretty good, plus I'm not a wild crazy guy that goes off trail too much. Maybe when the budget permits I'll do the winch. I've got all the other stuff, straps, boards , med kits, water. Yeah, I talk a lot when excited.

[@brianbuchanan5170]

What about going with remote refectation? The higher amperage is going to put a ton of heat on those diodes.

[@Hertzsogood219]

Great videos!! In the first vid you said that you cant use the same rectifier because it can't handle the amperage but I don't remember you saying anything about getting a new rectifier. What kind of rectifier do I need and where do you get them? Thanks!

[@DragonKillah]

If the rectifier has part numbers and you can confirm that they are 50 amp diodes, then you can reuse it.

Ford ZX2 alternator pulleys have a smaller diameter than Cavalier alternators and both are 6 rib. I bought a smaller one for my Cavalier that's when I noticed it was the same size I believe it was 1.78"

[@chriscooper131313]

First, very solid instruction and use of logic to communicate this procedure, thank you. Second, my jeep wrangler came with a 140A 11294 alternator, it bears the same architecture as the nippon-denso models you're working on in these videos. If I perform this procedure, will I double its output to 280A? I'm confident that I can do it but I don't want to waste the time sourcing parts if it won't work in the first place. Thanks in advance....

[@TwistTapeTechnology]

A 140amp alternator should have the same stator and rotor as what's in the video, however, the rectifier probably won't have twelve 50amp diodes, so you'd need to replace that. The resulting alternator should do 320amps maximum, same as what's in the video ;) Of course, you attempt these mods at your own risk! The rotor and stator can be checked before you do any mods, so start with that ;)

I guess that a better modification will be to put the wingdings in series instead of Y or delta and that will obtain 3 times the voltage and the amps will be the same. So you will get about 43 Volts after rectifier... I am just curious :)

I was wondering though. I don't know a lot about alternators, so forgive my ignorance, but I have done the old diode on the sense wire to boost the voltage trick. That tells me that the actual voltage is controlled by the engine or some other part outside of the alternator. Which got me thinking, could an alternator designed for 24v be used on our modified to work on a 12v system? I ask because I have found some fairly cheap 24v 240amp alternators online and thought, as is, they should be able to give a full 12v@low rpm and high current if I need.
