oem 100amp alternator

Captain_Vimes

I'm looking to supercharge my Vx220 and just need a 100amp alternator to complete the parts list but struggling to find one on ebay.

It needs to be a vauxhall part and not a reconditioned unit. Any condition considered.

Can collect from South essex or London area or happy to cover postage costs.

Thanks.

did you consider importing the lsj turbo upgrade alternator ? or just using a normal 100amp with the rear cover removed and the bolt cut

I've already imported the charger and didn't get the lsj alternator.

The plan is to use a modified 100amp (if I can find one) as my vx has the 120amp, which is slightly too big.

i ment import the lsj turbo swap alternator not the charger 🙂
and the 120amp being too big is a myth 🙂 trick is to space the alternator off the block with 4 m10 nuts

Thanks evocarlos, that looks like it could work. Do you have any more details on using the 120amp with spacers? Is there a thread with more details?

hey the only info there really is in the https://z22se.co.uk/threads/supercharger-fitting-guide-astra-g.24487/
its for the astra g but when you get down to the alternator there the same astra vs vx220
there was also some info in the https://z22se.co.uk/threads/fitting-a-supercharger-with-shane.26049/
when i fitted shanes supercharger

random image of the external suppressor fitted the +12v bolt needs to be cut off to stop it shorting on the inlet if the bolt is to close even after cutting then the inlet is not centered on the head properly
