Thread: Alternator, what alternator

Still I got it home, dare say in an auto or a modern engine we'd have to have been flatbedded.

Anyway what replacement alternator options are available for the 4BD1, just the standard 70amp unit or can I go bigger?

Any part numbers or prices?

Just a few I found using the miraculous thing, I believe people call the "search function"??, quite an impressive thing, even simple enough a hillbilly can utilise this wonderful feature

OK

Stay away from the 120 amp as it is not repairable. ie no rectifier or regulator replacements available.

The 80 amp version is rebuildable and comes with a 50cc Vac pump.
They are listed as NPR and Holden Rodeo units.

I can get the p/n from "The 109" as he has borrowed my catalogue if need be.

Most of the small ones are, mine is, 509 long. Im pretty sure the motor is even a 4bd1. But yes absolutely 12v. If you're feeling adventurous I have a spare 6bd1 turbo driven engine you could try to shoe horn in.

I am pretty sure the standard one is only 40A (well it is on mine anyway...)
