What amps would my altenator be

Hi Guys,

I have an AE92 GTI Late model. I have had a look with a mirror and flash light but can't seem to be able to tell. It has a Denso toyota alternator on it. The tech book says depends on what is on it but 60, 75 or 80. They are big numbers for a small car alternator.

So, what size do you think it would be?

Thanks

i would suggest the alternator be rated at 60 to 70 amps ballpark

why do you ask?

I assume you have looked for any numbers on the alternator itself.

If the car was fitted with power windows and all the normal luxury power accessories it should be the larger output of the versions.

Yeah they are big.

They from the days when i had a RX2 rally car. I am setting them up on a bar so they can come on and off as one unit. I only plan to put them on when i go away for holidays. I'd look silly driving around the city with oscas on it.

lol it sure would! but would be rally style

i have two sets of oscars, been meaning to mount the other set just above the windscreen. lol i already get 3/4 of a km lit up and 20-30metres each side of the road!

I have them there so i may aswell wire them up (for holiday driving anyway). I would prefer small, neater ones but hey i have these. If i were to sell them these days i wouldn't get enough to buy smaller ones, or as good.
