Hi all does anyone know of a more compact alternator which is a direct fit to a gti6 engine?

weight saving or lack of room?

Lack of room in this case.

I remember seeing one used in a project thread but can't find it

Depends which bracket you are using, original GTi6 type or S16 type?

Gti6 style

One alternator from a kubota V1505 diesel engine, atleast half the weight. Very common diesel engine in the commercial plant/agricultral world

 

side by side with a MI16 alternator, both with pulleys removed, the kubota one runs a A section V belt and the pug setup is a multi grooved belt.

 

 

the pug pulley fouled on the back of the alternator, so i sliced the back off the pulley...

 

 

pulley fitted to the alternator, shaft size exactly the same size! all spins fine

 

 

alternator hung from the a/c mounts. keeping the weight nice and low.

 

 

 

 

not the easiet to explain, hence i said look at my threads...
