Can I replace alternator with higher amp?

You can never have too much amperage when it comes to alternators; therefore, you never have to worry about choosing an alternator with too high of a rated output. Here’s why: Amperage is basically the amount of electrical current your alternator can supply. And it basically operates off of supply and demand.

How do I get more power out of my 6.0 Powerstroke?

What is a Ford 6G alternator?

The 6G alternators have an internal voltage regulator and utilize the OEM wiring plug. These alternators are built with a 135, 150 or 225-amp ratings and include a 6-groove pulley or clutch pulley, depending upon part number. Available in chrome plated, polished aluminum, stealth black and Factory Cast PLUS+ finishes.

How big of an alternator do I need for 3000 watts?

3000 watt / 12V is equal to 250A. A 250A alternator is needed to keep up with it. Since your engine would have to work just as hard as any portable 3KW generator to keep up with the amplifier, you would need a large fuel tank.

What is the benefit of a bigger alternator?

Better Battery Life That’s because an oversized alternator produces more output at lower speeds, including idle. That increased output prevents the battery from having to help supply the load—and this keeps it at a more ideal state of charge. The battery cycles less, which translates into better battery life.

How much HP can a stock 6.0 Powerstroke handle?

800 hp
Even a decade ago, before PCM tuning was anywhere near as refined as it is now, several 6.0L owners proved the 6.0L’s bottom end could withstand 700-rwhp. Today, a lot of serious enthusiasts conclude that the 800 hp 6.0 Power Stroke range gets you into unchartered waters with a 6.0L.

How much HP can a stock 6.0 turbo handle?

’03-’07 6.0L: 475 to 500rwhp.

How many amps does a Ford alternator put out?

The original Ford alternator rated at 38 to 55 amps. It is externally regulated. It can be upgraded to 65, 95, 130, or 200 amps, though you are better off going to the 3G if you want over 95 amps.

How do I know my alternator size?

Look for a diagram under or near your fuse box cover. It will have individual amperage numbers (sometimes along with volts) already set by the manufacturer. Add up those numbers to find what amperage your alternator needs to feed the car’s electrical system. Verify this number with the part manufacturer, if necessary.

How many volts should a 6.0 alternator put out?

The originally installed alternator on the Ford 6.0L with a single alternator appears to have a low voltage reading in the 11-12 range after startup. However, when you measure amperage from the unit, it is generally in the 80-90 range at idle.

Can a stock alternator handle 3000 watts?

Is the big 3 upgrade worth it?

The “Big 3” upgrade can not only improve the performance of your audio system, it can also enhance the performance of the entire electrical system for your vehicle (which can lead to improved fuel economy or additional horsepower). In other words, upgrading the “Big 3” is almost always a good idea.

Does an alternator add horsepower?

“On some applications, a high-amp alternator can actually add horsepower to your engine’s performance.” Sure, it’s nominal, but, when it comes to horsepower, every bit helps. “Most alternators are only about 75 percent efficient.”

How much horsepower can a Bulletproofed 6.0 handle?

Even a decade ago, before PCM tuning was anywhere near as refined as it is now, several 6.0L owners proved the 6.0L’s bottom end could withstand 700-rwhp. Today, a lot of serious enthusiasts conclude that the 800 hp 6.0 Power Stroke range gets you into unchartered waters with a 6.0L.

Are 6.0 Powerstrokes fast?

It’s worth mentioning that the hefty crew cab has blazed the eighth-mile to the tune of a 6.21 at 114 mph, which makes it the ninth-fastest Power Stroke through the ‘660. Warren’s nasty 6.0L also currently ranks 12th fastest on the quarter-mile list, having run a 10.05 at 135 mph (at 7,600 pounds) back in 2015.
