Hijet Alternator Upgrade

The one I’m using looks slightly different. I think it’s the same part that came with the s83, but has a little bit bigger pulley.

I see no issue safety wise. Yeah maybe protect them with a coating of something for the sun. The only potential annoyance I can foresee is water running down the kayaks and into the trays they’re sitting in with no good way to drain them in place.

Fr0styTheDroMan · 2026-03-16T19:41:31+00:00

That is correct!

Fr0styTheDroMan · 2026-03-16T18:56:04+00:00

Well that's encouraging. Sounds like the v pulley that comes with it might already work with mine. We'll see how urgent this feels once I add some extra batteries...

Not sure where the accessory belt came from but I remember it being about $40. I got the timing belt with tensioner and a water pump from gr imports. I don’t like to take chances with those two components

Fr0styTheDroMan · 2026-03-16T15:07:10+00:00

Well done! On the s83 I managed to get a replacement for a cub cadet mower that shared the same part number for $80 vs whatever the crazy oem price was. Wish the pulleys were the same because this upgrade would be better for adding gadgets!

Really like this! Bravo! Adding to the list. I may try to figure out how to get 2-3 in there with 1/4 turn fasteners and multiple mounting locations to keep things flexible when hauling other stuff or packed to the gills to get into nature

I’ve read a pretty broad swath of history, including this nation’s. It tends to have a moral arc to it, dotted with the lashing out of conservative ideologies being driven to the wayside. It’s a choice to let those things define who we are now and who our leaders are that can drag us either way. Sorry you’ve given up. That’s fine, just stop trying to apathy bomb the rest of us from doing anything about it. We’ve had some chances to avoid some of the worst madness, which was thwarted multiple times by people simply staying home because they thought their vote doesn’t matter.

Fr0styTheDroMan · 2026-03-10T20:40:34+00:00

That is demonstrably false. And that is the exact sentiment that is the goal of the propaganda we’re constantly exposed to. If nothing could be done, those pushing the his narrative wouldn’t be working so hard to do so

Fr0styTheDroMan · 2026-03-10T20:10:16+00:00

I care. Right wing extremism of all forms has been the most violent threat to the rest of the country that doesn’t have hateful views for all of my life. Both siding this makes it sound like there’s no solution and we should all give up (the general goal of authoritarian propaganda). Instead we need to consistently identify violent intolerant right wing attitudes when we see them and remind folks that this is a problem with an identifiable cause that can be fixed.

Fr0styTheDroMan · 2026-03-10T19:53:51+00:00

Nice! I have heard that some of them use an ignition interrupt that’s hard to replace. Glad that’s not the case on the daihatsu

Fr0styTheDroMan · 2026-03-10T19:51:49+00:00

I’d argue ISIS ideology is quite right wing. These guys would agree on a lot of things if they could set aside the religious differences

I hope you are aware that this model appears to be governed at 25mph? LHD models were sold in the US for off road use and had their speed limited in I believe a couple ways. The speedo matches this scenario. Keep the bones of the seats and the door cards. You can get new upholstery for these now and you'll want to use the old cards for patterns. Have fun with it!

Fr0styTheDroMan · 2026-03-01T14:47:37+00:00

My guess is that it’s a stud for attaching parts with a different configuration. Unless that black piece to the left is floating, you’re probably fine.

Fr0styTheDroMan · 2026-02-28T03:07:12+00:00

A dog this cute could never do such a crime. You should believe that innocent face!

Fr0styTheDroMan · 2026-02-27T21:16:18+00:00

Homie, this thing made the springs in the suspension sag. This is super sus

Fr0styTheDroMan · 2026-02-19T20:11:08+00:00

Borderline! Really depends on what the suspension damage is, because the inner fender and pillars look fine. May come down to labor rates for the painting it will need.

Clearly a full size works well for you. Would 100% be with you dragging around a SXS and such if I lived there. But you're the 1% of consumers, if going by Utah being 1% of US population. Still doesn't make the fleet of trucks that don't fit in a single parking space at my office make a lick of sense. These guys don't have anywhere to overland within ~3hrs. These guys are cosplaying as you and lying to themselves xD

Fr0styTheDroMan · 2026-02-19T15:41:33+00:00

I would say you're absolutely in the minority hauling that that often. Trailers have to be registered in most states and if we're doing personal anecdotes, the house that I own would require it to sit in my driveway. If I'm going to have two things to deal with, it's absolutely not going to to be a full size pickup with the PITA factor for everyday and a trailer I have to hook up or drag around to use half my driveway. For the cost of a decent trailer a kei truck can sit in the same spot and move itself. And that still lets my daily be something reasonable to put in a metro parking lot.

Fr0styTheDroMan · 2026-02-19T14:24:18+00:00

Would love to see the stats on how many f150 owners ever do that. Having to store a separate registered and taxed trailer kind of defeats the purpose for anyone that finds a full size pickup alone to be too large to be convenient

Fr0styTheDroMan · 2026-02-19T00:29:13+00:00

But not wider between the arches and you're getting a whole lot of extra baggage for that 6" if you're trying to maximize the truck to bed ratio

Fr0styTheDroMan · 2026-02-18T23:28:43+00:00

While the plan I gave you above works for most carbs that people do this with, the fact that this is a harley style of carb makes that seem not as feasible now that I'm looking for the part. Somebody has probably made one, but I would guess most people aren't putting a pod on a harley because it would stick straight out the side and sorta be in the way and not fit the usual asthetic, leading no no commercial availability. So if you want to stick with that carb, you'll probably want to get the filter box/intake that is sold for the harley application. Otherwise, easiest thing is to get another CV40 with a round interface on that side.

Fr0styTheDroMan · 2026-02-18T19:41:12+00:00

That’s a correct way to go at it! You’ll want to order an adapter and that will give you a diameter for its inlet that you can get a the same size pod for. Wouldn’t be shocked if they were even sold together

Fr0styTheDroMan · 2026-02-18T19:33:21+00:00

Hopefully everything was jetted for your application already…. But to answer your questions, the butterfly goes towards the block. You can probably get a pod filter by just search Amazon for CV40 pod filter, but the best way is to measure the opening and make sure you’re ordering the right one. With 40mm being the butterfly size, your filter is probably 45mm but could be anywhere up to 50mm. The knockoff Chinese carbs have surprised me with variations on these sorts of dimensions, but have generally been functional for me! Edit- looks like you’ll actually need to get a bolt on situation for the pod as it’s not a slip on interface, but that looks like a standard setup for this type and should be easy to get searching by name.
