HiPo alternator for the UltraRatty™® V70R 5000W sound system .

Ex850R

I hear the P80 STD alternator can be swapped with the likes of 120-160A XC90 one and use part off old one to control it as later one is controlled by the canbus.
Anyone have a clue?
Next step is Mathews site..
Using under drive pulley so want higher output plus ICE going into vehicle will suck juice as well.

Getting stock one rebuilt and rewound/regged for higher output would be the KISS option I reckon.

Ex850R

Yeah , I am scared to ask the cost....

Given that a good xc90 one will cost too it would be worth checking out.

What do you need a higher output alternator for? Plan to run a 5000w stereo at full noise all the time?

should be for 1000W of Hid Lighting to brun through the flock of wombats in the night

badvlvo over on t-bricks can give you a good idea
the 260amp unit in the tentacle wagon set me back sub $300

Ex850R

Mmmm , 260A , I like that!
I was thinking 160 ...
As I said I will run an under drive pulley on it and you do lose grunt from existing alternator then.
A good source of consistent power for amps is essential. Dips and spikes kill amps.
A carputer needs good power too but mainly the amps. No hurry yet but while swapping motor would be easier.
In fact I probably will have 5000W (PMPO ) considering @-)
Big cables to do the Big3 wiring replacement will help plus running said wires down to where the factory CD stacker normally lives ,to put battery back here , maybe in the side 'bin' under the floor if I can is part of this set up.
Was just reading that the C70 Dynaudio speaker package used to get blown up a fair bit due to low powered amp and too loud. The so called monster c70 amp in the back was in fact rated on PMPO ...
Bloke hooked up his home 5.1 amp and the speakers were begging for more power .
Volvo allegedly took a big hit installing the Dynaudio stuff just to have the best tunes at that time. Saw ad on eBay for near £900 for similar as what C70 has/had in it.
Deadening panels , esp the dash area and remounting dash stronger is priority too , the R is going to need more ponies to push all this extra copper n tar sheet!
I just missed out on a pile of lead sheet for free , an old home recording studio , free on Gumtree. Bugger! Car could have been near bulletproof as well!!? Would be about as fast as a 2/7-40 then. . . . . . . . .

Funny you should say..

Looking at my headlight build project again I remember I have some little spot type projectors of dubious China bay quality that I could make the dual projectors look even more funky with adding it to them but would be too hard needing headlight support panel mods , enough already!
LED light bar in the spoiler is the go or those rooftop X5 faired in rally ones in another post I saw here recently , ace!

More batteries.... Alt 2nd ;)

You can fit a nice deep cycle battery in the front if you are careful. I'm going a "few" "absorbed power" deep cycles, one significant one in the front and a couple of easier to fit smaller in the rear near the amps. Fullriver do some nice bats as well.

Damn old a/b class inefficient soundstream reference series amps.....

Ex850R

Thanks Jono!
I do have plans for an air to water intercooler to fit where the battery is for direct shot at throttle body , well that was THAT plan , things can change!
Maybe room under battery area behind spoiler for it instead....
So all deep cycle? Not one normal for starting grunt?

They have a higher discharge capacity than a "normal" battery so should start even better ;)
