Maniac Electric Motors Alternator Update

Talked with Christian at Maniac today.

Currently, there are no stock 95A or High-Output 160A alternators for sale for the foreseeable future.

The problem is that the high end, custom-fabricated voltage regulators from Germany, that they use in our rebuilds, are on back order.

They are definitely superior and much more reliable regulators and should be available soon. Until they come in, rebuilds are on hold. The only thing they have available are brand new, stock 95A Mitsubishi alternators.

There were high-output alternators for the SVX available on from Amazon that claimed to be from Maniac Electric, but that is false. The seller is eaglehigh or Eagle Auto Electric out of Los Angeles. This is Amazon's problem and Christian is aware of this misrepresentation and is in contact with Amazon. Talked with Eagle Electric this morning. They buy SVX cores for the cases in salvage yards and rebuild them. No high-end parts like regulators and takes 1-2 weeks. They want $200 plus shipping for a 160A unit with a year warranty. If you send them a core for the case, that price is $160, plus shipping.

As I said, these are in no way affiliated with Maniac Electric.

Christian will let me know when the regulators come in and I will keep everyone updated.





For those of you who are new here, or are not familiar with MANIAC ELECTRIC MOTORS. Much Cheaper than OEM, better rebuild quality than most out there and also a better warranty.


Stock 95A alternator ...$149.00 outright, $89.00 with core exchange. 2 year warranty

160A high-output alternator...$248.00 outright, $188.00 with core exchange. 1 year warranty


If you order online and enter 4747 in the coupon code, you get free ground shipping. If ordering by phone, don't forget to mention this code as well. They will also send you a UPS Call Tag to have your old alternator shipped to them at their expense (no cost to you) to credit back the $60.00 core charge.


This is one of the best aftermarket companies I have ever dealt with. Their customer service and commitment to quality and excellence exceeds even my expectations. Christian is very knowledgeable and can answer just about any question you have. Its nice to know companies like this are still in existence.

Look at their feedback ratings on EBAY and AMAZON They don't get any better than this.


The stock 95A rebuild is more than adequate. If you have a lot of electronics, I strongly recommend the 160A high-output unit.
