Complete GM Alternator Swap Kit for Samurai 1.3L
Complete GM Alternator Swap Kit for Samurai 1.3L
The stock Samurai alternator is only rated at 45 Amps. After installing aftermarket lights and electrical components you can over-tax the stock charging system. Your factory headlights may even continuously run a dim. This is an easy problem to fix with the help of our complete GM alternator swap kit. The common GM SI-series alternator has been a go-to upgrade since it was released in the early 1970s. They are durable, simple to install, and capable of producing much more current than Suzuki's stock charging system. Low Range Off-Road has experimented with many alternator configurations and found that the GM 12-SI is the most reliable, cost effective, and easy to install.
This complete kit includes a re-manufactured 78 Amp Delco 12-SI alternator and our GM Alternator Bracket. We also include a two wire pigtail must be spliced into your wiring harness, an appropriate length v-belt, and upgraded upper bracket. The factory upper alternator bracket is thin and tends to bend with the added weight of a larger alternator. Our Heavy Duty Suzuki Upper Alternator Bracket is laser cut from 1/4" steel. Both upper and lower brackets are fully zinc plated to prevent rust.
We ensure that the alternator is clocked correctly and has the correct pigtail arrangement.
The best GM Alternator Bracket for the Samurai
- Engineered for perfect alignment of the alternator belt
- Bracket is laser-cut from plate steel and hand MIG welded to perfection
- Comes with alternator bracket mounting hardware - all with 10, 12 and 14mm head bolts and nuts just like factory
- High-quality bright zinc plating for corrosion resistance - resists salt and harsh environments
Wireing your GM alternator is simple:
- Cut off the factory Samurai plug.
- Connect the red wire from the GM alternator pig-tail to the alternators positive output.
- Connect the white/red wire on the Samurai harness to the white wire from the GM alternator pig-tail.
- Connect the positive output on the alternator to the battery with a replacement larger-gauge battery cable.
Note: Can be used on Samurais with stock 1.3L and 1.6L swaps.
