Hmmm this sounds like an interesting mod.
But 75 amps sounds like a lot when the alternators are 95 to begin with.
I suppose the main concern is voltage and not current but would my 15 year old alternator take it?
The headlights already dim momentarily when I hit the brakes.
And my plug in cig lighter voltmeter, of questionable quality, already goes from 11v-13v while driving.

But what is involved in this?
Do both of the hoses bolt up?
Are we just talking about fabbing mounting brackets, and running some wires?
Or are there more serious plumbing issues?
My p/s system already leaks so I wouldn't mind taking my chances there.
I assume the benefit to this would be the loss of parasitic drag on the crank?
I'm already sans-A/C system. And the lack of a P/S pulley would make it easier to explain to my wife why I would NEED to replace it with a supercharger pulley.


P.S. I wish I could just swap some pop-up headlights onto my EG33.
Instead of swapping the rest of the XT-6 onto it as well.
