Figured since the main reason I'm looking for one is for my stereo system, that I'd ask here. Does anyone make one for the '92 generation 1.0? Thanks. |

A stock replacement? Nope. Do a search for a CS130 upgrade and you will find a lot of good info. There is a kit you can buy. Some lately seem to have an issue getting the order in and getting it delivered. When I bought mine it was around 4 years ago and had no issues. |

I put the CS130 in my 92 with on problems. I did run a second charging wire (with fuse) to the battery. |

Not much more than stock I'd imagine. Enough to run a possible full amp(4chan/subs) setup and augment with a cap accordingly. Possibly run some auxillary lighting as well. Just don't want to have to invest in a fuse company to justify a good sound system. I will research that CS130 though. Thanks for the info fellas. |

I went and read up on the stock alternator. 55 amps sound right? |

I like that 144 setup too. I do like the better durability you was talking about there. Usable is good, but immortal is always better. |

I gotta ask, how are these things wired in our cars I put in a cs130 with volts jumping from 11.0 to 14.5. Don't know if there's a specific way we're supposed to be wiring these things. I've got a 4 ga charging wire going from the alternator charging post to the (+)battery post and another 4 ga wire going from (-)battery post to transmission lug. The alternator "F&L" wires are hooked up to the two factory wires and the "S" wire is bolted with the other charging wires. Any suggestions/advice? |

Alright Stubby, it's looking like the colts are still jumping from 12 to 14.5 albeit less frequently. Is this just normal behavior or should volts be static? Thanks. |
