Alternators
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi one and all,

Is there a smaller (meaning physical size not power rating) alternator that fits, maybe somthing off another car or some comman conversion. Just seeing how much space i can make for front mounted rad.
Thanks
Alex

search for jap alternator, nippon, denso, swift, charade etc on this site theres loads on it. Small alternators came in swifts, charades and possibly daewoo matiz. They will all require some kind of bracket making up probably, but not difficult to make good i think.

nippon denso one approx 4" diametre of various small jap cars

how difrent is the set up on a multi point?? could i remount the alternator in much the same way with a longer belt to try and get space for a front mounted rad.

im pretty sure the multi point uses a different head design

Hi,
The MPi has an idler pulley where the original alternator was and the alternator is bolted to the head.
Cheers,
Gavin :)

Smaller unit it is then, any one crashed there Matiz latly?

Nope .... and if I do I'm having the alternator!!! You can have the one off the second one I see...LOL

Every day is a school day ...........

How fast and how expensive ...... the same question...

Right it seems the plan is, any one with a 4x4 please barge any and all matiz you see off the road then follow them to the scrap yard. what do i mean 4x4, sorry when you walk by one push it over on to its side and get the alternator. we need two at least.

Ha ha ha, as wrong as it may sound every time I am out driving at present and see a BMW motorbike, I look to see if it is a K100/1100 one, and then it it is I have had ideas about knocking the rider off it with 2 tonnes of Audi to get the engine..........

Remmber all its not right to Kill people to mod your car there are SOME limites. maybe hurt them (don't leave visible marks)

Theres a huge breakers in pease pottage, near crawley / gatwick. They have a workshop full of alternators. Once i was in there and saw a matiz one, looked very new for £35. Any southerners, its well worth a look or a call to see if they have any. Says they do mail order too.
