    I have my 4ac in my ke70 now and its up and running.
    But the alternator is currently not working, due to a regulator issue.
    i am aware ke70 have bosch alternators and they have inbuilt regulators.
    4ac jap alternators have external.

    What are my options?

    A. Try to mount ke70 bosch alternator to 4ac block, and use original loom <<<<<<< is this possible??

    B. go to wrecker and get a regulator off an ae71, then take it to an auto electrician and fork out $$

    What have others done when putting a 4a into a ke70?

    PLEASE HELP
    sick of charging my battery twice a day! :lol:

    thanks

    find a internal regulated alternator with plug that'll fit the 4A-c mount(shouldn't be hard) and wire it up, it's not worth the effort wiring in a whole external reg unit unless you can get hold of an old ae71 loom to graph into it.

    if you are using a 4ac just use the KE alternator

    both are carb engines

    if it was a 4AGE you would need a high putput unit for ECU etc but if its just a carb 4A i wouldn't be stressing over using the KE unit

    shouldn't be too hard to get it on there

    i don't know if they are the same bolt spacing etc. use the 4ac mounts and the ke alternator

    like it was mentioned above its a lot of wiring work to get a a 4AC external reg etc in there
