emptycoffin Posted October 20, 2010 Report Posted October 20, 2010 Evan. Will this work with my new Bosch alty from a kingswood (red motor,think the vl's were the blue motor.) Quote
Evan G Posted October 20, 2010 Author Report Posted October 20, 2010 nfi! pull both off. if they look 90% the same then most likey yes. Quote
KENut Posted October 21, 2010 Report Posted October 21, 2010 The front casing is different so you will need to swap the kingswood one for the corolla one, otherwise it wont fit the bracket on the K engine. Also not all old holdens have the reg unit on the back of the alternator, but I would assume yours does if its new. Quote
Taz_Rx Posted May 3, 2011 Report Posted May 3, 2011 Having a few charging issue lately so seriously looking into this. So just the clarify E - Are you essentially just putting the corolla front cover on.... and the rest is all VL? Or do you have to swap the VL internals into the corolla rear housing? Cheers, Si.

mhmills Posted May 3, 2011 Report Posted May 3, 2011 Pretty sure it's the VL internals swapped into your original one, then upgrade the charge wire or something lol Cheers, Jake. Quote

Kid-Ae Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 Question: If I have, say, a spare alternator from an ae92, would it's internals do basically the same thing? (not really looking for much upgrade, simply to make an alternator that works). Thanks Quote
dbr11k Posted June 14, 2011 Report Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) good stuff.. i was searching around for a replacement alternator with more amps for the 55 but it would have been pricey compared to doing this.. thanks for the write up ! EDIT.. would this only apply to vl's with an rb30? would v8 ones be the same? Edited June 14, 2011 by dbr11k Quote
