CCCC miso xr6 Donating Members 317 Member For: 16y 13d Posted 01/01/19 06:28 AM Share Posted 01/01/19 06:28 AM (edited) Hi everyone, does anyone know were I could buy a alternator that has at least 130amp for a ba falcon xr6 turbo sedan, I do know fg have 130amp but there a 3pin while ba are 2 pin. Has anyone modded a fg alternator to suit ba? Reason I ask is the car is suffering bit of voltage issues were my car drops dangerous amount of voltage while running, I run 3 pumps and a few other accessories and I know these sapp some amps.

The fitment was fine, but I had issues with overcharging at high rpm. I believe that it got to around 17 volts at 6,500 rpm. I thought that it may have had a faulty regulator, so I replaced it and tried again. The overcharge remained and I was fortunate that it only blew the headlight bulbs. After this, I decided to refit the factory unit while I sorted the rest of the car. Unfortunately, I haven't got back to it.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
