With electronics on including all the lights i'm up around 80 amps!!!

What's worse? I think my alternator puts out around 35

Plenty of japanese techno-faddy cars seem to have these awesome alternators which are the size of a matchbox (well not quite that small) and put out 70 amps!
I've found one off a mitsubishi that seems very nice, but unfortunately can't take it (customer who's engine it is at the garage might not approve ;p). Might try it out on the mini if its still there next week though just to see if it fits (and then buy one).
But has anyone had any luck fitting japanese alternators to their minis without much modification?
