David, Its true, but the alternator already is quite bulky. I could see fitting two of the small Nippon Denso units from the Chrysler LH V6 engines. Their external regulator would make the install more flexible. The hassle would appear to be pulley space on the I-4 engines. Looking on the left hand side of the AC compressor, seems like enough to squeeze in a PS unit or another alternator. But why, these units stay above 12 V with AC, full lights (high, low and driving), and hard hitting stereo. Accessories like the fuel pump and the ignition will still function below 11 V. Am I missing something? Frank Grunthaner |
