Hi peoples,

 

The interwebs & my crappy googling skills have turned up retrofitting VL Commodore alternator guts into a 4K one, but no direct replacement options.

 

Can someone please let me know what 80A or higher alternator is a direct swap?

 

I don't mind having to modify plugs, wiring, etc :)

I've got a early HiLux Bosch 85A alternator, on my 4K, which I bought reconditioned on ebay. It was a direct swap, with only a washer or two required on the long mounting bolt to get the pulley to line up perfectly with the crankshaft & water pump pulleys. I'll see if I can get a model number off it tomorrow, & post it on here for you. Best thing I ever did for my KE30 electrics, for night time driving.

 

Cheers Banjo

Thanks heaps Banjo, looking forward to it! :D

I did the RB alternator/K engine hybrid. Well worth it. And easy

Thanks RainWarriorDregs, but Google is not helping me.

 

More info please? :)

Too easy man, a little flat out at the moment. Shoot me a PM and i'll write up a little instructions thingy for you. Ya just got to remind me cos i'm useless haha.

Thanks man, PM sent :D

So I sent RainWarriorDregs a PM & he is yet to read it. Not complaining, he probably has his own life to live.

 

Can anyone else please shed some light on this illusive RB alternator conversion?
