They may have all the "electric gismos" but as they are all
unlikely to be
running at the same time and the battery will be the main source of power
to
support them for the short periods of time when the alternator can't then
I'll still stick with my 80A as a guide (that's still a bloody big
alternator) but if that's what you are looking to do then start looking at
the big yankee custom built alternators for the audio nutters (assuming
that
they still make them) - I used to run a Pheonix Gold 200A unit on my old
200SX and we had 2 x 220A units that we fitted to the Longmill
"duelly" - at
getting on for a grand each when I used to play with them but these are
still not enough to support a house.
