What's the highest amp alternator that'll bolt into a e16se? All I can find is 70a

What is it your trying to do? What's wrong with an original one???

Just want the meatiest one possible to replace my crap one, and seeing at the battery on it is rather large it could do wth a bigger one

that doesnt make sense.

i think they need matching to the battery dont they ? .. so it can charge properly

[meritlover]

no, its based on current pulled from the car.

I ran a high amperage one on my old Sport, it was a 100amp irrc and I was also running a diesel battery. I ran them because a. The new battery was free and got the recon alternator cheap off a mate and b. Because I was running four Cibie Super Oscars with uprated bulbs and c. The larger battery made it easier to start a cammed and carbed engine that was used daily.
I think it was a C20XE alternator, I had to swap around the pulleys to get it to fit.
70amp is more than plenty I would have thought, a Nova does not have a great deal of electrics to put any demand on it

Might just go 70amp then, my 55a one is nearly cooked not charging enough. Just wondered if the transit battery I'm using would have needed one more up to the job than a 55a one
