Second question mid build, as I mentioned on the other thread I’ve got a 2.4 L 911 engine going into my 1974 914. The 1974 9/11 would’ve originally had an external voltage regulator, I’m not familiar enough with my 911 set up to know if it also had an external regulator or if it was internal to the alternator..
Anyone able to drop some knowledge on that? Thanks! |

If you do go the external voltage regulator route, make sure the regulator matches the alternator. Bosch to Bosch, Valeo to Valeo, xyz to xyz. If you mix brands, some times you won't get enough voltage at the battery to charge it. I ran into that problem with my 914-6 conversion project. I was about 1V shy at the battery to properly charge it.
This would be another reason to go with the alternator with internal regulator so you wouldn't have this problem. |
