that and amperage

otherwise, they all put out about 14 volts once you get the engine started. my car has a 60 amp alternator. if you switch to a more powerful one as some people do when they add appliances like televisions and premium sound systems, just make sure to read up on how much of a surplus amperage you can handle. i really don't know anything more on this topic.

other than that, the alternator's connection to the battery electrical system (battery cable and whatnot) would be the major obstacles, i think. if all you have to contend with are a +, a -, and a ground, you can mod any set of wires/cables for that to fit with easy to find supplies at hardware stores. if you've got some special harness with 4 or more wires connecting to the alternator, i'd make sure i knew what i was doing before i modded anything.

i'm really not basing any of this on any research, so... i'll leave the rest up to you.
wow dude go kill yourself now, you know nothing.
