Tii Alternator Upgrade Question

[Tiger75]

I am thinking about upgradeing to an 80 amp AL46X alternator from a 318. I read in a earlier post that the battery had to be in the trunk for the AL46X to fit in a Tii. Is this true? I don't want to have to move my battery.

The Alt upgrade was well worth every penny for me. Headlights are continuously brighter, the entire lighting system on every aspect of the vehicle does not glow anymore everytime I step on the throttle, nor do they dim when on idle. And the battery did not have to be moved to the trunk.

Which weekend is Mardi Gras next Feb?

Assuming you have your Krewe again, it may be the Touring's last outing before it gets taken apart.

Got to plan as I may be Chinaman again.

Bought the Alt kit from Top End Performance. www.racetep.com. It's 65-70 amps from a 320i........the key to their kit is the steel bracket that it comes with, I think it was double the length of the old bracket. No more bushings to replace cuz the new alt does not require it....and the alternator has an internal regulator. So there will be some minor electrical wiring adjustment to be done. The lighting system no longer flutuates, (dim on idle, brightens when you accelerate). You get constant brightness.
