Alchemy - the study of how to turn LS1's into a 20B. :science:

Steak Flavored Gum posted:

The factory generator is about 500 W... before conversion losses. Let's just say that that is long gone. We've switched to an alternator from a John Deere tractor which more or less bolted right up.

The runners are machined and bead blasted aluminum. Part of the reason for their kinda funky shape was to ensure they'd be machinable on a 3-axis CNC.

That's excellent. Is it a two wire alternator? I love hearing about totally unrelated parts that end up compatible. I know from experience that it's easier to just work and take pics afterwards but...could you take more pics? I love Kei trucks and had been eyeballing the regular Daihatsu Hijet imports at a shop near where I used to work. So cool.
