Michael Scholtz Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 I am fitting a 20v toyota motor to my birkin. I have some concern about if the alternator is going to clear the steering shaft. I am also considering an electric waterpump That would mean that if I could find a way to mount the alternator elsewhere I would not need any belt on the front. Is this a silly idea? Has anyone done this or know of someone who does? Birkin S3 Installing a Toyota 20v 4AGE motor. I must, I must, improve my thrust ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganMan Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 1) How are you going to drive the alternator in its new position if not by belt? 2) Have you checked that the flow rate of your electric pump approximately matches that of the Toyata pump?

TomGaval Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Michael, I have a LHD Kseries with a drysump pump fitted on the right hand side, No room for the altenator on the left side due to the steering column and the tilt of the motor. I mounted the altenator off the front of the motor, running backwards. Works fine. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
