Is there a straight swap alternator unit for the 1.3 16v non vvt engine that will give you a higher output? If yes, which vehicle and year etc does it come from.

If you are planning to go scavenging in a junkyard you could check what is inside cars with more electrical equipment and has larger batteries than the jimny. Suzukies with 1.6 and bigger engines will most likely have larger generators.
When putting a Liana engine in my car i did not change the alternator bracket so Liana would probably fit ok.
It could be that it is easier to modify brackets to fit other alternators with high output, than to find one that is a straight fit.

Also added in an idle pulley to increase the surface area the belt has on the alternator main pulley during heavy draws such as winching.
Was it a direct bolt-on? What about wiring?
