FC Alternator.
Please post exactly what you need to do to put a FC alternator in NA and NB Miata.
This alternator apparently makes more amps or volts n stuff.
Please also post if ANY FC alt will work. Or if only the TII alts etc.
Thank you.

Yeah I am googling it and it looks like the FC alt is not that much more juicy than the miata alternator :(

Why are you looking for more output? I've been considering upgrading the the RX7 alt to help with voltage drop when I try pulling 820 watts for my audio system. IIRC you would just need to buy/fabricate some spacers or something.
The thing about higher output alternators is the higher output is only available at above-idle RPMS. They can even push less amps than stock at idle. I'm not sure about the RX7 alts though.

This is mostly to squeeze as much as possible out of my fuel system. At high boost/rpm, voltage takes a big shi and so does my fuel flow.

Yup. FD alt, before I managed to make my MS2 control the stocker. It is 100 amps, internally regulated, and bolts on directly with no issues.
The reason why I went back to the stock one was because the FD alternator was putting too much of a load on my engine. Also, on hot days, the voltage would drop to ~13V.
