Hi everyone... I was wondering if anyone knows where i can get an alternator upgrade for my smart in california. I need way more amps in my smart to support my system but it seems like no alternator shop has dealt with a smart car before

alternator: 14v/90a

I'm thinking an alternator repair/rebuild shop should be able to upgrade your stock alternator for you.

hmm.. anybody know anyone else that has tried it? half of the alternator shops i called didn't even know what a smart car was.. which makes me worried because now I think even if i do find a shop that will do it.. I don't know if they will even kno how to get the alternator out

any help is much appreciated!

thanks for the number mendo.. i gave them a call.. they were pretty skeptical about the idea too..but they said they would look into it... i also tried calling some alternator shops and rebuilders..and they said that there problem is figuring out how to mount the sucker

If you need more than 90 amps, you must ne trying to run a DJ booth! and the flashing disco lights
