OPTIMUSPRIME Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Very good! Are you sure is bolt on.....about 5 months back I was trying to find a bolt-on upgrade here and read a few treads and order 2 different alternators just like someone did here a many months ago and did not bolt-on.After the 2nd one I said forget it...I went ahead and got a replacement 75 amp from the local Autopart.(Carquest) where is the cross reference part number for it in the PDF?

Yes it is a bolt on for sure, The 95 Sonata came with two types a 75AMP and 90AMP Like this link.There is MD#'S and I think that is there Cross Reference. Look on page 169 in the PDF its on the right hand side. http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/1995-Hyundai-Sonata/Alternator/_/N-j1ipdZ9ridy Edited September 21, 2010 by monty87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caliber308 Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) Yes it is a bolt on for sure Have you personally installed one on a Starquest? I read your link. One member who said he installed one on a Starquest (I'm assuming that was you) stated: "It is not clocked the same and needs a longer belt,a spacer and a longer bolt". Bolt-on to me means bolt-on, you remove the old one and install the new one without modifications.Just letting the members know this before they go to the junkyard or run out and purchase a new one.

monty87 Posted September 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) Yes I did mine this last weekend. took about 45Min if you pull the AC. I understand what your saying but A Longer belt and Bolt isnt much to get while your on your way back from the Yard/Auto parts shop. As for the spacer 3/4 is about what you need to snug stuff up. As for the clocked tab its only 1/2 inch diffrence there for needing a longer belt to pull it away from the block. It takes about the same time as a stock one.

Caliber308 Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) Yes I did mine this last weekend. took about 45Min if you pull the AC. You don't have to pull the A/C. It can be done from underneth the car by removing the drivers side of the sway bar. How do I know this? I installed a new 100amp direct bolt-up alternator that I purchased for $100.00 shipped. Still, with the modifications to the Sonata alternator....It is not a direct bolt-up. I'm not trying to argue with you, just pointing things out.

monty87 Posted September 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) Well its all right there.. Too me Getting a longer bolt the "spacer in hand" By the way sence where in the mod section I figure people can be creative on what they use. and a 1 inch longer belt. Not much in mods there... But ok. Edited September 21, 2010 by monty87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importwarrior Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 (edited) 139.99 110 amp click me can the cases be swapped out? Edited September 23, 2010 by importwarrior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty87 Posted September 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 I would think so if your going to have a 75/95 AMP sonata case to swap with the 110AMP sonata case should be the same. I would get both from a junk yard before spending any real money on a new one though.. I have had mine installed for almost a week now and everything is doing good. Im running 6 Offroad lights, CB Radio, Power inverter, stereo system with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim_C. Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 The 95 amp mitsu alternator will burn up in the StarQuest engine bay if it actually ever needs to charge 95 amps. It can not cool itself that hi in any engine bay. It really isn't the best option. Mitsu knows it is rare that it will ever need to charge that hi, so they and other manufacturers make units that will not cool themselves up there. The only time you really ever need that is when the battery is dead. Then you better be driving down the road to help it cool, or surely it will burn up. The Mazda one is a better option. This another reason we chose to use the GM CS-130 unit with the proper parts and case to work and last in the StarQuest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
