I know there's one being designed now that's going to hit the market soon bracket wise but I'm thinking you can also save weight from the alternator stand point. I'm not to familiar with how and why manufactures use particular ones except for amps.
But I was browsing around last night and came across these. There's one that only weights 6 lbs and produced enough amps for the Nsx I believe. Anyone have some insite? It says single wire hook up and I believe the pulley would need to be changed to fit our cars and the direction would need to be the same as well. But am I missing other concerns?
Does anyone know how much a stock alternator weights? I think I came across online where someone mentioned 15lbs but you know how that goes sometimes.

Never mind. I misread the ultra mini vs the super mini options on that site... The ultra that's 6lbs only goes up to 55amps which is half what's needed for our cars... I'm going to call Tuesday when they reopen and see if it's possible to make one that's higher amps for our cars that's 6 lbs.
