Thanks for the link, I've never heard of these alternators.
But, the Eco-Tech appears to be overkill for a car. The size would be difficult to manage, and at 38 pounds it is much heavier than any automotive alternator. If I were to adapt a new alternator, it would be a General motors CS130. It weighs 10 pounds, and the minimum output (depending on model) is 100 amps, more than your stock alternator.
