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.

hmm, sorry, can't help you directly, but I'd be very interested to hear how you get it done, when/if it gets done.

 

my guess would be talk to a auto-electrician about it.

In tried using a 2 wire,  160 amp alternator from a Ford Mercury. 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..

I don't think that it is an amperage issue. More likely an over speeding of the alternator.

Does anyone know if you can fit a ba alternator (2 pin plug) into a bf xr6 falcon with the 3 pin plug will it cause any issues if I just make a adaptor or something...
