artinist Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 these new GM CS-130 alternators have lifetime warranty and with shipping and the new pigtail came to $102 Contact Gene at 919-734-3381 He is the guy who sells them on ebay and is familar with the setup for our car. they are usually used in late 80s corvettes but he sets them up with the mounts in the 6 and 12 oclock position and also puts a V-belt pulley on them. he also offers them in different finishes and a heavy duty cooling rear-panel for additional cost. Installation is a breeze and works awsome. Uses the stock belt. the pigtail has connections labeled: -S (RED) -> connect to the factory THICK white wire -F -L (Brown with red line) -> connect to the factory THIN white wire -P http://home.earthlink.net/~antimpower/images/alt/1.jpghttp://home.earthlink.net/~antimpower/images/alt/2.jpghttp://home.earthlink.net/~antimpower/images/alt/3.jpghttp://home.earthlink.net/~antimpower/images/alt/4.jpghttp://home.earthlink.net/~antimpower/images/alt/5.jpghttp://home.earthlink.net/~antimpower/images/alt/6.jpghttp://home.earthlink.net/~antimpower/images/alt/7.jpghttp://home.earthlink.net/~antimpower/images/alt/8.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey_L Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 What kind of car did that alternator bracket come off of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artinist Posted May 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 hmm, its just two pieces of aluminum about 2"x1/2"x1/8"and some washers and one more bolt in addition to the stock bolt. i think its a bolt from the timing cover or the starter. took 10 minutes to put the thing together. just drilled both ends of the aluminum for the bolt to go through. the washers are there to align the alternator pulley with the factory belt location.

JustPaus_88TSi Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 I think he meant the top mount.. Is that from the old g54b trucks? That Alt looks nice and beefy.. Damn good price also.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artinist Posted May 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 yea the top is the the non-AC bracket but that doesn't matter much. it should work with the stock bracket as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustPaus_88TSi Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 You da man Art! I need one of those.. Could you possibly go over your wiring harness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st_gen_eclipse_89 Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 i have a similar set up on my starquest, but i went all out and got the 200 amp GM alt. from a old police car. they sell them on ebay for around $180. i've thought about going back to electric fans now that i have more amps to dish out, but i like the clutch fans "whooooooosshhhh" noise. it kinds of masks the turbo whistle for all those un-suspecting SRT-4's out there. :-s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turborusty Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 HEHE....the SQ guys ditch the electric fans for the clutch one and the Dodge guys ditch the clutch fan and install electrics...... just goes to show............strange things are afoot.

wasabii Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Just installed the GM 110v alternator. The install is not difficult at all. Art's pictures and instructions are all that you need. Thanks. Took me a bit longer than 10min though :wink: , more like a few hours. The guy that sells the alternator is familiar with our cars and knows what we need. Give him a call and he'll hook you up. Going to install my amp and speakers now and see what this alt can do . Later, Mitchell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustPaus_88TSi Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Can you give some more details about what you used for spacing the alt correctly? I'll be doing this shortly.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasabii Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Let me give you a step by step on how I did it. Hardware used:2 2"x1/2"x1/8" flat aluminum or steel (to make bracket)1 4"x3/8" bolt (for new alternator)12 3/8" washers (for new alternator bolt)12 5/16" washers (for old alternator bolt)Old alternator bolt Prepare Brackets:Drill a 3/8" hole on one end of each bracketDrill a 5/16" hole on the other end of each bracketOne end will receive the new alternator bolt, the other end will receive the old alternator bolt. Remove the old alternator:Disconnect Negative cable from batteryLoosen alternator belt tensionerRemote beltRemove top and bottom alternator boltsTurn alternator around and remove positive cable and connectorRemove Alternator Install the new alternator:Wire up the pigtail connector (see Art's instructions). -S (RED) -> connect to the factory THICK white wire -F -L (Brown with red line) -> connect to the factory THIN white wire -P Bolt down factory positive cable.Place the alternator in position and install the top bolt only.Assemble one bracket and the two bolts.Get under the car and slide the bracket into position on the front of the alternator.You will notice that there is a gap between the bracket and the timing cover. You need to fill in that gap with the 5/16" washers. Once the bracket is squared up on both the alternator and the timing cover, slide on the 2nd bracket to the back of the alternator.Here, there will be a gap between the bracket and the alternator that you fill in with the 3/8" washers.Once the rear bracket is squared up, install the nuts on each bolt and tighten them down lightly.Install the alternator belt.Adjust the belt tensioner.Tighten all 3 alternator bolts.Reconnect battery.Start her up. Let me know if I am missing anything Mitchell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prozaq Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Has anyone that's done this mod noticed any problems with the stock wiring taking the extra power? I think someone had mentioned a fusible link inline from the alt. that might not be up for the extra amperage... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star_V8_Quest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 I have a 110 chevy amp on my v8 car using the factory wiring....it all works fine for me.Some might even spring for the chrome kit on the alt like so...add some bling to your bay :!: (please excuse my dirty alt,everything is way over due for a polishing :oops: ) http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/6558/chevyaltmj7.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prozaq Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Lol....jebus. I guess I'll have to snag one of these then...probably "unblinged" though, I'm not sure I want to wear a welder's mask every time I pop the hood. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustPaus_88TSi Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 When I do mine, i'm going to replace the wiring. Makes no sense to not do it while i'm in there. It'll be nothing, as I've done it on my Cavalier and upgraded the wiring to 0awg and used a 250A fuse between the alt and battery.. Art, i'm curious as to what you did with your wiring harness and specifically with that relay you added.. And thanks wasabii for the detailed info..

artinist Posted August 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 i have not added a relay. everything is stock except for the main charging cable which i chose to upgrade by replacing it instead of adding a 2nd wire to it like it is describe in professor quest's guide.

JustPaus_88TSi Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 My bad, I thought a connector was a relay socket.. I have this alt coming to me on Wednesday. Art(or anyone who might know), how is the alt grounded? Through the alt/ac pump mount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
