ARD Advance High-Power 150A Alternator (Blue) for Mazda RX8 (Series 1 & 2, 2003-2012)

Increase charging capacity with a high-output alternator that supports additional gauges, lighting, audio, and engine management without sagging voltage.

$780

This ARD Advance High-Power 150A Alternator (Blue) is a Japanese-made electrical upgrade for Mazda RX8 Series 1 & Series 2 models (2003–2012), engineered by an OEM supplier to major manufacturers to provide a more powerful, stable and efficient electrical supply than the factory unit.

  • Delivers a 150A high-output charge rate, significantly exceeding the approximate 90A capacity of the OEM alternator
  • Stabilises the electrical system, supporting stronger low to mid-range torque and engine response
  • Provides a stronger, cleaner spark for more complete and efficient combustion under load
  • Reduces dimming and audio interference, improving start-up strength and in-car electronics performance
  • Low-resistance internal design enhances charging efficiency and durability

You will notice more stable idle, crisper throttle response and improved confidence in your electrical system, particularly on RX8s with upgraded ignition, audio or auxiliary accessories.

For a coordinated look or different styling, you can opt for the ARD Advance High-Power 150A Alternator (Red), and consider pairing your alternator upgrade with the ARD Advanced Power Starter Motor for a complete electrical reliability package.
