Fix it!
Probably needs brushes, and you could replace the bearings as well if you want it to last.
If the brushes look good, check the diodes, one might be breaking down.
Easy work compared to engine swapping or mounting a turbo!
Up to about 15psi should be ok for daily duties. Switchable boost controllers are good, then you can just run gate pressure most of the time and flick the switch when you're being beaten.
Headgaskets are pretty much always the first thing to go, spend the $80 for a genuine toyota one and it'll last even longer.
I just got an alternator rebuilt for the missus' pug. Cost $190 with new bearing and brushes and labour. One or a couple of the diodes could have come off the plate - They'll still work but won't transfer the charge.
You could get a second hand one for $20'ish but then you might just have the same problem.
Also is the pump and fan running off a relay direct from the battery?
If say you were powering them off the coil + then they'd pull all of the charge out of the coil!!!
ok updates at last. I believe the alternater is not dead it is just not big enough, and as im still using the crappy old coil and dizzy setup as soon as theres a bit of a draw on the system from the ic pump and fan it misses under boost. I have put a beefer coil in and it runs a lot better, hardly misses now. Will be doing more soon to the ignition system.
I had it on the dyno last week at uni. It made 60rwkw!!! at 7psi boost. We dynoed a standard ke70 and it made 33kw. I dynoed the old 4k a while ago at re customs before it was turboed and with a hole in a piston it made 24kw so the dyno at uni seems quite accurate. Will be upping the boost after i have got the ignition stuff sorted ..................... good times lol
EDIT: the pump and fan are running directly off the battery
just food for thought, theres a thread on rollaclub, to build a 80amp alternator using the rear housing/internals off of a vl commodore. essentially you just unbolt the front of the ke alternator and bolt to the front of the commodore one..
woops, sorry i didnt realise how old this was. my bad!
