A 1.3 will probably struggle. But g16b should be fine.

A 120A alternator would probably be more suitable then. But still, consider a 24 volt alternator for a separate 24 volt system for the winch.

Is it a Cobra or Hornet winch you have in mind ?

its the hornet am after, mind you the cobra would prob be ample tom.

I was talking with some folk with the hornets over volted at scotia winch challenge and they say the motors burn out far quicker and the bow motors are expensive so I think I will take it easy with 12 volt for the time being.

am sure I seen a jimny alt with high amps for sale somewhere in Europe ? will try find it

Lots of people overvolt their bowmotors both 1 and 2. I've overvolted my bow1s for almost 2 years without issues.

What burns then out quickly is be people spool in or out without load on the motors making the motor run much faster than it is designed for. So either only run the motor overvolted under load or pulse it in and out.

All the top comp teams use overvolted 12 volt bow2s.
You just need to know that you're doing :)
