Yeah the 65A Starion alternator is just a baby.

From memory Repco sell 150A universal kits, replace the insides of your existing, and 150A will keep those amps running happy.

If you want cheap, just drag your dead one to a wreckers and see what you come up with :) But I know in the Mitsi range, they mostly vary from 65-85A - so not much of an upgrade :(

That sounds right, cost me around $60 NZD for a new alternator second hand (65A I assume) but my mate went and got a conversion done professionally for $220NZD, gives you a ball park figure :)
Watch your speed - It's virtually impossible to pick it out of the carpet if it gets blown off the table.

You might wanna look at getting a secondary battery also, because if you discharge the battery too quickly you will end up with collapsed cells.

Magna alternator is 85A I think. The big 150A aftermarket ones may cause a fitment problem.
