im lookin into the same thing... either 145 or 160

i found a few on ebay.... but i am thinkin about just going brand new... maybe if your down for it, if we get 2 we may get a deal cut........

cause im runnin a couple subs and going to be going with UD pullys im not sure what size i should get

[jaxbigpewter2016]

so i do need a bigger alt what i&#39;m i running right know 105

look on teh alternator itself... it should tell you ... Red told me to look at the case of it, it is stamped into the outside of it

[jaxbigpewter2016]

thanx i guess i&#39;ll go check, would you advise against running the alt i got right now cause i wanted to install

the fans in a couple of days and i wont be able to get a new alt for 3 or 4 weeks until i go to the valley

i think you have a 105 amp like i do in my 2000 z71. its not too bad with e-fans and wont kill it but i would recommend a 145 or 160. The lights flash at night and the voltmeter jumps a little bit when the compressor kicks on (turns my fans on high).

[jaxbigpewter2016]

so if i run the e-fans with the 105a it&#39;ll be okey, but i should change it later, cuz just with my subs my volts on the dash jump around just when the bass keeps hitting thanx

The 145A that I bought has a split case with a black middle. I bought mine from GNRautoparts.com and it was like &#036;120.00 with 2 miles on it.

Just an FYI E-fans are alot of money for not alot of HP. JMO, but i did it anyway&#33;

Heres what I spent:
05 EFANS &#036;250.00
34" Radiator &#036;200.00
Harness &#036;100.00
Alternator &#036;120.00

Total &#036;670.00

that expansive, i got my fans cheap for &#036;110 2-15" and the wiring i think will cost me the same
