Alternator Upgrade for 4.5L petrol 6 Cyl 1FZ-FE

[AntonyB]

Im looking for a High Quality direct bolt-on replacement alternator, 120 - 150 amps would be perfect for my 4.5l EFi petrol.

I have seen the attached on e-bay, has anyone had experience with this alternator upgrade or can you make suggestions

My car is a single Cab 2009 Landcruiser 79 series. (I believe this engine was discontinued a few years earlier in Australia, however it was available till 2009 in South Africa)

How did this project go?

Surprisingly well, the alternator arrived from Australia, cleared customs in a week and I paid an addition R 800.00 customs duty.

The adjustment bracket had to be modified a bit, pic attached, I still need to neater this up but all commendation pints fit with the existing wiring harness.

The output of this alternator exceeds the original OEM unit as the DC to DC converter to charge the lithium batteries is now able to run run at its full capacity, so for all is working out.

I actually bought a larger alternator from Australia, see pic attached.
