any other toyotas with higher amp alternators that bolt up to the yaris

[pennyracer]

looking for a stock toyota denzo 120 amp alternator that is plug and play for the yaris

As soon as you find it...let us know. I'll be hooking one up.

My 2011's Tacoma's 130A alternator would connect up, but might require some minor bracket fabrication to mount.

The 4 pin connector and its pinout are identical, but the frame is larger.

The part number is: 27060-0P020

i was looking at autozone with the tacoma alternator pictures they are showing a oval 3 wire plug maybe the picture is wrong looks like it would bolt up i will look into that one more thanks again ctscott

[CTScott]

This is what it actually looks like. Many parts sites use generic images. The pulley is also for a wider belt.

this is the only aftermarket solution i have found so far

i will go to the local parts house and buy that tacoma alternator and see if it will bolt up if not just take it back and keep looking till i find a match . the pulleys can be changed no problem most of the time ctscott is your tacoma a 4 or 6 cylinder

6 cyl with the towing package and heavy duty built in inverter (120 VAC outlet built into the bed), which is why it has the 130A, instead of the 90A or 100A, which some of the Tacomas have.

i just noticed that in the options on 130amp alternator listing i hope to try this later today

So it's viable to replace the Tacoma pulley with a Yaris pulley and fab some brackets up to fit the Yaris mounting?

I'm looking at costs here...

$90 for a used Tacoma alty

$16-$20 for a Yaris alty pulley

Several hours of bracket fab. This is POSSIBLY something that Garm might want to look into for a "kit". A higher output Toyota/Denso alternator kit for the Yaris.

Hmmm....

I just dropped Garm a message. We should get his thoughts on this. I know I would rather use an OEM alternator for the sake of longevity and peace of mind. I didn't have a good experience with DC Power.

Sounds a little involved if pulleys have to be swapped also. Is there a market for this? I'm a volume-knob audio-noob.

soon as i do the test fit i will post the details i plan on using my pulley of my denzo alternator if all goes smooth

I'd be all over a set of brackets, swapping pullies is pretty easy(most of the time!)...

I still have that 1 off NST alternator overdrive pulley, i yanked it because my alternate felt like it was getting way too hot.

[pennyracer]

okay pulled my alternator and went to the auto parts house and damn it they dont have it on hand so i had them order one so in a few days i will try this alternator swap again

[bzinn 1]

this is exciting....I was also looking at my buddies alternator on his Tacoma and it looks like a good fit electrically,and if the pully can fit the mount would be easy enough.

[harda toenail]

Any updates on this?

[pennyracer]

i will try to pull my alternator and take it to the parts house and match it to the 2011 tacoma ctscott gave me specs on long over do for this change

None of the parts houses here have the 130amp Tacoma alt to check fitment
