I have a 94 Civic with a second-gen JDM B16A. Recently when I start my car there is a squeak and whine that comes from the alternator. It's only for a few seconds and happens every so often. Is my alternator going bad? If so, what year alternator should I get to replace it? Will any DOHC alternator fit? Looked online and the 95 Del Sol DOHC is more expensive than a 99 SI alternator. Just trying to find the cheapest and most compatible alternator for my engine. Please let me know. Thanks!

any 0bd1 B series alternator, assuming your harness is 0BD1 if your harness is 0BD2 you'll need an 0BD2......

if you have a JDM b16 no not anyone. Unfortunately they came with weird brackets.
you will need a alternator from a 90-93 integra.

and as mentioned before.
any b series alternator will fit given that it is NOT a jdm b16

If you have a D series on hand, it can work, at least for a temporary fix. The upper bracket may need to be ground a bit on the upper lip of the channel the bolt slides in.
I did it, it's not the best solution, but it got me to work until my new alternator arrived.

yes it's a JDM b16.

Yeah it's a jdm b16. From the 90-93 integra would i be able to use the LS alternator or just the vtec one?

is my alternator going bad from squeak and whine? if so, this alternator would be a good replacement.

yes it will work. you can take the old alternator off and they will cross reference the part number and it's the same. i've changed mine 3 years ago and i've had no problems.

so is there a difference between 90-93 integra, 95 Del Sol DOHC, or 99 Civic SI alternators? Would any of them fit on my jdm b16 with any problems?
