EMPI Black VW Alternator - 90 AMP

Black EMPI 90 AMP Alternator for Classic VWs

• 12 Volt Alternator with 90 AMP Output
• Black Powdercoated Finish
• Internally Regulated
• The 90 AMP Alternator is Perfect if You Have a Bigger Stereo System with an Amplifier
• Requires a Wire to Electrically Ground the Alternator to the Engine Case (Not Included - See Tech Tips)
• Requires Additional Parts if Your Vehicle Currently has a Generator (6V or 12V)

This aftermarket VW alternator comes with a black powdercoated finish, puts out 90 amps to your vehicle's charging system, and is internally regulated. These alternators are a popular charging choice due to the black powdercoated finish and higher output versus a generator.

The 90 AMP alternator is the better option if you have additional electrical accessories in or on your vehicle. If you have a big stereo system with multiple, full-size amplifiers, the additional power output will provide more current to your amplifier to ensure you are getting the maximum output to your speakers.

This alternator can be used on 1961 through 1977 Standard Beetles, 1971 through 1979 Super Beetles, 1960 through 1971 Type 2 Bus models and 1973 through 1974 Things.

Depending on the current equipment on your vehicle, you may have to modify the wiring to use this alternator. See the "Tech Tips" tab for more information regarding the conversion.

• If you have an original 1966 and earlier car that is still 6 volt car and using a generator switching to this alternator will require a new stand, backing plate and pulley as the 6 volt units are not compatible with the alternator.
• 1967 and later models that use a 12-volt generator may have to swap the stand as the stock generator stand can not be used with the new alternator.

If you are converting a car that currently has a generator over to an alternator, consider on of our Alternator Conversion Kits which include an Internally Regulated Alternator, a new alternator stand, alternator strap and 3 piece backing plate kit.

Note - This alternator must be electrically grounded to the engine case for it to work properly. The grounding wire is not included but any 10 AWG or larger wire will work. See the image above for a picture of how to install the wire.
