More power with increased amps is all thats needed
Higher amperage alternator with more watts it can be done, I'm a electrical engineer & will eventually have to deal with this same issue in the future for the same similar upgrades, prob is I cannot afford to do the mods right now to help out... But I'll figure a way to do it to help out later on, a bigger regulator would do the trick... Just look at what someone has done for say a ford escalade system or cadillac...

the MAZDA ecu is expecting a certain amount of power from the alternator..if it sees more it flips out...have to find a way around this first, otherwise what you are suggesting is a waste of time

I havent been on here for a while so I lost track of this thread. We never started a GB here because there didnt seem to be enough interest. If we can get at least 5 people then we would consider this.
Also worth noting...The ECU problem you guys speak of has been overcome by our adapter plug interface. Anyhow...let me know.

I cant give specific prices because this is not an official GB but I can give you a range.
We have alternators ranging from 150 - 225 amp, price range is between 470.00-685.00 and polishining is additional.
Thanks
Chris
