It says on the label of the alternator that it is a 130A alternator.
please be mindful that this car already has a significant load due to the 90-100V required to open the DI against upwards of 200 BAR fuel rail pressure.....

I own an Asphalt FR-S but yes, have not had a chance to look at the alternator due to workload. I was assuming it would be similar to most modern passenger cars, in the 90-110 range. 130 is surprising but you are saying the systems require this amperage? It is assumed the manufacturer will install an alternator that can run all the systems of the car simultaneously and then some, but not an excessive amount more. This is why almost always, for a big system build the alternator will need to be upgraded or supported to mitigate headlight dimming and reduced battery/alternator lifespan.
The system I am putting into this car crashed my alternator on my first build. Installed a high output, but still had headlight dimming issues, so I'm looking for advice and I will have a DIY for whatever I do to be informative for others with this vehicle wishing to install heavy draining audio systems or additional electronics.
So, this thread is about what is the best choice for this car (based on availability, cost, ease of use, effectiveness)
