Not quite sure what youre after - a new alternator - if the answer is yes, either jonowong or me have a spare. If not, let us know what you are after and we can point you in the right direction...

    And dont bother with aftermarket..
    GPX has a special Alternator that helps work the MIVEC.
    from memory its 70A.
    $1500 New Genuine
    $400-600 to rebuild existing one.
    More details needed matey

    There are no aftermarket ones that fit, although I think some people have had success putting the internals of the GTO alternator into the FTO casing to get more current.
    LED ALL the things.

    I would assume this would only work with MIVEC GTOs (if theres any)
    Other than that, you may just have to look at a secondary deep cycle (I used to run 2 Deep Cycles for my subs and charge em every night.. price you pay for power.

    Most current lancers have mivec engines, can't one of the alternators fit into the FTO??
