The alternator went out on the '93 CR31 2.2 diesel 4WD Town Ace Super Extra 5-speed JDM. Listed part number is 27060-64190. I cannot find a single replacement anywhere, as the only cross reference seems to be a NLA Bosch unit. Megazip has the Toyota one, but at $1,500+shipping!!!

Any ideas for sourcing one? Otherwise the best bet is probably to find a shop to rebuild the old one.

Thanks,
Sam

I was gonna suggest to have it rebuilt-should be at least $1000's cheaper. Maybe it's just the brushes? Take it out and have a looksy.

Same thing with the starter, costs something like $1300 for a new one. Best to find an alternator shop and send it out for rebuild. Unless the windings have a short, it'll be much less to have it rebuilt.

I'm looking at a Liteace diesel, this worries me. What did OP do?

These vans are very much old school engineering, in that many components are intended to be rebuilt instead of simply replaced. The shop manual I have details rebuilding starter motors and alternators. As long as the windings are not shorted, these items can be readily rebuilt by anyone with moderate mechanical ability.

thanks for info. You still driving you surf Ace?

I cant for the life of me find the cruising speed of a 2.0 2C-T diesel van, do you have the diesel motor in yours?

Sorry for the delayed response. Yes, I'm still driving it, every day that I carry the mail. It is also my main driver.

With 205/70R14 tires, the van will cruise 88 KPH (55 MPH) at about 3,000 RPM. Not sure about elsewhere, typical speeds in Japan and Okinawa top out at 80 KPM, about 50 MPH. It will run 70 at less than 3,500 RPM but, I don't like taking it on the interstate.

bikeregg,

did you rebuild your starter or you were just mentioning the starter costs $1300? If you built it which starter rebuild kit did you use.

Thank you:thmbup:

thanks for input on the MPH.

I have not rebuilt the starter. I was investigating because I have an intermittent problem where I turn the key, I hear the fuel injection pump solenoid click, I hear the starter relay/solenoid click but it won't turn over. I bought a wire lead connector kit, but haven't installed that yet.

As for rebuilding the starter, I don't know of a kit. I'll just look for a brush kit and will measure the bearings and get those direct from a supplier. Hopefully the windings and armature will not need replacement. In that case, I'll be looking for a starter that "will or can be made to work".

Any luck with this? I may be in need of a new/rebuilt alternator myself

This has been my experience with the 2-CT more-or-less, too. But after the motor is good and warm, an hour of 70-80km/h, it will make 90-100 real easy at just shy of 3800. Maybe if there were a US gearing kit for the OD or a 6sp transmission...

But the engine is just a hummy buzzbomb dream-ride at 80km/h; it feels like its running on pure air. But is actually getting 35mpg.

Yeah, no inter-state for me neither.
