A nissan v6 alternator will fit with very minor modifications, I think some models like a fully loaded murano or maxima has a 130 amp. I have a lower rated 100 amp hitachi in mine, I guess before I do the 12v conversion...I got to upgrade that as well.
I do have a Nissan alternator in the car. but it is a second hand one. I purchased a new 145amp Nissan V6 alternator last night. Just want to have it solid. The Compressor at full spin sucks 100amps!
What I’ve read is that you have to have at a minimal 80amps dedicated for the system. I was thinking of doing this in my mustang and putting a 200+ amp alternator and another battery move everything to my trunk for vehicle balance.
That is a strong possibility. I have a second hand 120amp alternator installed. Made all new cables using 2AWG wire and lugs. But seems like the 120amp is just no pushing what it needs. I found a new 145 amp alternator that I can install with the least modifications required. Sadly not a lot of room for a second battery. Have been looking into stronger batteries that will fit in the stock location with out having to add in 10 feet of extra cable. Would be interested to see what you come up with.
@@dr.frahnkensteeen4485 yeah adding more cable may not be the best idea… I think trying to find an alternator shop that may be able to build a custom alternator to suit your needs. But I hope the 145 works for ya
@@Lightning__Fox For my Audi V8 924 I am relocating the battery to the rear right of the car and using a Commercial grade battery since I am going to have a lot of tech in the car Like Heated seats. a legit sound system, similar AC unit, Big 60AMP cooling fan, Power locks and a course of other items. I do hope the 145amp alternator works on. I finished all the wiring tonight just need to finish off my custom mounting for the alternator. If it does not work I will need to look into getting a special one made.
I kind of had to trick the unit to work. I put the switched power directly to the battery and the evaporator wire I put to the Factory High pressure switch wire. That kicked everything into gear. I am going to make a separate relay and switch for the compressor. still trouble shooting a lot. But if you like. please email me, and once I actually get it properly wired I can email you a drawing. golten1986@gmail.com
@@dr.frahnkensteeen4485 same the regular compressor Compressor draws 63 amps It must be no more than 10 amps, and I asked the factory to manufacture a compressor of no more than 10 amp Too hi 63amp to small cars The more volts less amp At 24v motor load 22amp
Thanks for the update, I'm very interested in seeing how this works out.
You are welcome. Glad I can finally do something with this car.

Hey how long can you run the compressor with your 12v battery? without engine running?
Not sure. Have not tried that yet lol.
Need some help with wiring the unit up.
Would it be possible if you could send a wiring diagram I used the one provided and my a/c system didn’t even turn on

I really need some help with a diagram too. This thing driving me nuts. 😂
I put 2 dynamos until it became excellent in the Beetle
How much drag did that create for the Engine?
@@dr.frahnkensteeen4485 same the regular compressor
Compressor draws 63 amps
It must be no more than 10 amps, and I asked the factory to manufacture a compressor of no more than 10 amp
Too hi 63amp to small cars
The more volts less amp
At 24v motor load 22amp
