so the alternator died in my neon today. It had a long life 320,800 miles. it was the original to the car and served it well. Ever since I got the car I always had all the lights dim and the blower motor would sound like it lost power at idle. my autometer gauge would drop to 12.7v and once I got to about 1300rpm it would always be right back on 14v. I'm sure my udp didn't help out much.

So my question is will an srt-4 alternator fit my 2.0l sohc. I know I'll have to change the regulator plug but physically will it fit? It looks like it would from online pictures, it has a four groove serpentine belt. And it produces 150 AMPS compared to the stock 90 Amps

I love my SOHC but I catch allot of crap for being one cam short, so I'm putting four cams under the hood of my neon

if you are running an UD pulley then your alternator will never put out the rated power! have you thought about using an OVERDRIVE pulley n a stock replacement alternator first??

[charger440neon2.0l]

I could overdrive it but then I'd also have to buy an overdrive pully, and I did a little search and the only ones I came up with are alternator only with no power steering or a/c pully on them. I figured I may as well have upgraded it since I was buying one anyway, but I just got a reman stocker. The car always has dropped volts with the stock pcm, stock pully, and everything else stock, So I figure it wont hurt to go on forever like that. but if anyone knows if it will fit then that would be a great upgrade.

never said anything about max power, just the alternators rated output...
if the alternator is spinning slower then itll have a lower output!

[charger440neon2.0l]

An alternator has a power curve like your engine. The factory replacement I got is rated at 90amp it came with a performance slip,

out put tested at 13.20V
Rpm is alternator rpm not engine rpm.
57A@1800RPM
70@2000RPM
105A@3000RPM
117A@4000RPM
123A@5000RPM
126A@6000RPM

Now a higher rated amp alternator would have a similar curve but it would start higher equaling more amps at a lower rpm. I had some time on my hands and since I did not put the splash shield back on yet I counted my alt rpm, it is 1.6RPM more than crank rpm so at idle 975-980 my alternator is spinning 1,560RPM
My stereo pulls 15A, PCM/ignition 7.5a, fuel pump 18a, hids while continuously on 4 ballasts 16a, a/c 21a for a total of 77.5amps at idle
