EMPI 90+ Amp Alternator Conversion Kit | VW Type 1 Beetle/Bus/Ghia | Black, Internal Regulator (00-9488-0)

EMPI 90+ Amp High-Output Alternator Conversion Kit – Black, Internal Regulator (00-9488-0)

Eliminate charging issues and modernize your air-cooled electrical system with the EMPI 90+ Amp Alternator Kit. Engineered for high-demand vehicles, this all-new alternator features a high-tech armature and an integrated internal voltage regulator, providing reliable power for cars running modern EFI, high-output stereos, or advanced lighting.

Finished in durable satin black, this kit doesn't just perform — it serves as the centerpiece of a clean, coordinated engine bay. Despite its 90+ amp output, the unit is designed to run cooler than traditional dual-fan models while drawing less horsepower from your engine to operate.

Vehicle Fitment

• VW Bus: Standard upright engines
• VW Thing: Standard upright engines
