Yep.. you can use a later stator but rotor is a limit due to the style change.
Scratch that.. I would want the AD244 NOT THE CS130, If I Swapped HMMM

From what I can gather .. ALL of the alternator options are using a Denso hairpin stator with a billet housing machined for any fitment application. One told me this is the same alt that the c7 uses, and the hairpin stator allows it to be much more efficient, run cooler with less parasitic loss while providing much more amperage at idle and at speed. Not to forget much better long term durability. In my eyes it's an all win-win scenario moving to this option. It also looks cooler although I can't decide what finish to go with just yet. I should have my plenum and top end coming together in the next few days and I'll be using the oem one for now.
I measured the pulley using my caliper at the tip of the ridges and I get 2.78" 2.44 might be measured with a string at the bottom of the belt grooves ? Still don't know if there's a general standard for measuring pulley diameter. |

What is the cost for that alternator you are talking of? Dkd you dind out if you can use the OEM pulley with it?

I'll double check my emails the range is $480-580 give or take depending on finish (most offer pc and anodizing) . The stock pulley won't work. I've been given reccomendations for pulley sizes from 2.2 to 2.9 and several in between. I'll most likely stock with close to stock sizes at 2.5 (measured at the 'peak' of the belt ribs)

Make sure your electrical connections are also in the proper locations. Purchased a Powermaster Alt that was advertised to fit with ZR1 and the pulley was too small and the harness connection was 90 degrees out of phase. I was not happy. I was able to get the stock unit working, cleaned and tightened the hot wire connection. Also, the upper connection that requires the through bolt was helicoiled and would only allow a short bolt to thread into it which is clearly not how that upper bracket is designed to work. The only way the direct fit powermaster will work is removal of the helicoil, swapping the pulleys and re-clocking the rear of the housing (if possible) to allow for the harness to reach the connector. I am not looking forward to once again navigating through the aftermarket "Direct fit" misinformation gauntlet. What a joke.

I can't imagine attempting this install without sending the vendor of your choice a correct alternator to use for modeling. There's way to many things to go wrong. You supply the correct "fitment" and they either can or can't replicate the fit. Using billet "one of" I actually can't imagine a vendor assuring you of "a fit" without having the correct fitment available to model from.
Where do you go with this if the product "as shipped" in a "NO FIT"? |
