banzai510(hainz) Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 Rockauto has is starting to list Brand New made alternators for some of our Datsuns. Example 70 510s and 521s. I seen listed ofr 72 trucks also. Has anybody tried these out? Yes they are made in China. But my batch of Autozone ,O Rileys rebuilt in Mexico cased Hitachi's just isnt cutting it anymore. Nowe I see rebuit in China on the boxes(autozone, O riley) but these are NOT old Jap cases. So who knows I dont want to run a huge alt in my 521 Anybody use the POWER SELECT? reviews? 1 Quote Link to comment

banzai510(hainz) Posted November 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 IM not impressed with Chinese made stuff but they make alot of VW and Volvos there now. Just wonder if those are chinese alternators. even If I can get 50k of of them is better than the Autozone ands O reileys. Go there they seem to get made at you bring it back and want another one. Fuck dude it didnt last even 8 months!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment

Sounds like your gonna have to be the test subject.... what the worse that could happen.... what i like is they claim new not remanufactured... it might actually work and be reliable.... 1 Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 I would probably just get junkyard parts at this point Edit: I'm running an Eagle Talon alt in my 521...no problems 1 Quote Link to comment

thisismatt Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 What amperage? Internally regulated? IR, yes. It's either a 90 or 110 of I recall correctly. I'll go take a pic or two 1 Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 My mistake, it's 75 amp. It's a good fit with a little bit shorter belt. Plenty of clearance from the idler arm. Hard to tell from the pic but it would have to swing 2 inches to hit it. 2 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Has Mitsubishi emblem. Your adjustment arm is upside down. Or doesn't it clear the timing cover? 1 Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Yes, Eagle Talon is a Mitsubishi Eclipse more or less. I can't remember why the arm is flipped but probably didn't clear. Really doesn't matter, though 2 Quote Link to comment

I'll go take a pic or twoThat would have been nicer... 75 still not bad. My daily driver has a 140 to support my stereo.... once that vehicle dies it will be donating the stereo to my datsun..Been weighing options on upgrades... Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 For sure, though in my last car (Accord) I had a JBL BPX220.1 and two RF 500a2 amps off the stock 90 amp alt and that car is still going with 270k miles or so :P 1 Quote Link to comment
