Fingerlickin_B Posted June 21, 2016 Report Posted June 21, 2016 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 :) Quote
Banjo Posted June 21, 2016 Report Posted June 21, 2016 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 Quote
Fingerlickin_B Posted June 21, 2016 Author Report Posted June 21, 2016 Thanks heaps Banjo, looking forward to it! :D Quote
RainWarriorDregs Posted June 25, 2016 Report Posted June 25, 2016 I did the RB alternator/K engine hybrid. Well worth it. And easy Quote
Fingerlickin_B Posted June 25, 2016 Author Report Posted June 25, 2016 Thanks RainWarriorDregs, but Google is not helping me. More info please? :) Quote
RainWarriorDregs Posted June 26, 2016 Report Posted June 26, 2016 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. Quote
Fingerlickin_B Posted July 9, 2016 Author Report Posted July 9, 2016 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? Quote
