Brand New 55AMP Nippon Denso Alternators for £55
Turbo Mini Forums

Sorry if I'm treading on anybodies toes, but these are really good for the money.

They are single V pulley 55Amp units.

But... there's only 1 day left at this price. He has them up at £65 in other auctions.

I bought one from them a few weeks ago

Was it OK? Mine and John's are waiting at the post office...

Have'nt had the car running yet but space wise it loads better than the standard one

Mine and John's came yesterday. They are definatly the 55amp ones, they look good. massive pulleys (single V) and they line up nicely.

He's relisted the ones at £55, but has the same ones at £65. I wonder how many people have spent an extra tenner just for the sake of a couple of minutes extra searching...

i just paid £9.99 for this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=190278356229

Let us know if you get one that looks anything like the one in the picture...

got any pics of it fitted to the car?

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

Won't be on the car for some time, but I can get a pick of it next to a standard one if you like.

It lines up next to the engine mounts and the pulleys are all in line. It has a nice deep V in the pulley so the belt should stay on....

What else would you need to get this to work, fittings etc ? and is it really worth it ?
If this has been said before, then woopps.

cheers.

There's a big topic about them. Just do a search.

All you need is the right size belt, a wiring connector (64p, link in big thread) and the bolts to hold it to the engine.

Is it worth it? IMO, yes. More charge, less weight and it's smaller. what more could I want...

P.s what lengh belt will it end up as ?

Cheers.

Don't know. will be a while before I get one fitted.

Here's a pic of mine next to a standard mini alternator.

After looking at that picture, i just brought one :) look at the size of it lol
It's so small.

Cheers for that mate.

Mine turned up today, ive not weighed it properly but i swear its attulay heavier than an normal lucas one!!

Alot more compact yes, but no weight saving. Maybe its because they are 55amp?

My 40 amp that I got off Matty seems signifigantly lighter. I haven't weighed either but I will when I get a chance

I think Gary OS has taken over my role as the forum smart arse

Mine's lighter, but I've not weighed it. I'm comparing to a standard 22amp which I'm guessing has less wire wound up inside it. Same between the 40amp and 55amp.

For me it's more about space under the bonnet.

Yeah mine come today as well.
having the old one in one hand, and new in the other, it does feel lighter.
Nice and small.
Just have to fit it now. there is 3 connections on Nippon Alternators, as well as 3 on my old one. just got work out which goes to which.

Have a search, it's all explained. There's also a link to the correct connector for it. Only 64p so you may as well do it right

Yeah i've go the connections. it's just the 3 wires i be taking off the old one, has to be connected to the right connctions on the new one. i just have to trace where the wires come from. :)
