Alternator upgrade.

[jackal]

Want to upgrade my alternator in my vehicle, it currently has the original, it is on a Toyota 1KZT (3L diesel engine).

I think that it is about 70A if so much.

What alternator I can replace it with what I can get in a scrap yard?

From what I am hearing is that the Tida has a 140A one, can anyone confirm if it might be a good replacement?

Or if there is a more suitable one, higher output, available that can be adapted or someone that modify the original to give a higher amperage output.

Don't really interested in getting a high output one, I will have to go through the same process of making a bracket. and bolt up as any other replacement.

I think the "Tiida" alternator is the highest amperage OEM that you'll be able to find easily and cheap. If you're going with the Tiida, here are some things I noticed from what I've seen so far.

Afaik there are also a 90, 110 and 120 amp that come with the HR & MR engines. Some people try to pass these off as the Tiida 140 amp. The 90, 110 and 120 amp are identical and are made by Mitsubishi. The Tiida 140 amp alternator has a plastic back and is made by Hitachi. The Tiida also came with the 90 amp Mitsubishi unit. Y12's came with the 110 amp.

This is a pic of a 120 amp from a MR20. All of the others look exactly like this. If I get a good pic of the 140 amp, I'll attach it.

K13 March and Note I think

[Rovin]

what is d total rms either of these systems will be or how many batts\banks of cells etc ?

so since d original vehicle came stock with a 70A & if in some situation d vehicle needs its full 70 that leaves 70 from 140 - will that or even IF d full 140 available will be it enough though ? ... 1 way to know right ?

Just make sure which ever alternator you choose, your brain box could work. Lately I see men jamming 15volts because they turning tiida alts to externally regulated and firetrucking the brain...so doh do that eh.

Sooo, what to do instead?


I was wondering if the electronics could tolerate the 15v... Guess not.

I've got a tiida alt in my xtrail, cold start 15v then drops to 14.6-8 maybe about a year now. No regulator, just the lamp wire I believe connected.

Leave your alternator to charge at 14.4 if possible. I personally saw a Fielder brain smoke up because it couldn't tolerate a 15v
The major problem with that blue box regulator is it tends to spike on its own...easy easy it hits 16-17volts without even turning the knob

My old bus have no brain box...so I does leggo current

[sMASH]

Csn the external regulation go up to 18v?

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Up to 20v. Mine would be for sake soon. Don't need it anymore

So...........

I picked up one Friday.

Now the hard part, making the bracket.

I end up buying a new direct fit alternator, 140A, that is double the output of the original one.

Now I have the Tida one to sell.

Congratulations! You'll probably look back at buying a drop-in replacement as the best decision possible.

[david12]

You made a good decision. A 140 amp drop in is pretty good.

Don't have a link, you can do a search, in the UK or Australia.

[david12]

Yeah Australia and New Zealand might be the best source for aftermarket replacement Yota parts.
