i am wiring in a b16a2 jdm spec into my 1996 del sol si with d16y8

heres the problem
I am using the us spec wiring harness from the d16y8, and it will not attatch to the jdm alternator due to the fact that the US spec harness has a 3wire plug alternator
and the jdm harness has a 4wire plug alternator

the 4 wire japanses one says it is internally regulates
i guess this refers to voltage regulation

so i need to put the japanese alternator on, but I need to know what to do with the extra wire!
right?
and how and where do i wire it?

next question...is the b16a2/3 UNITED STATES AND CANADA spec alternator 4 wire plug as well?

not that that would help, just wondering

i mean, if the alternator is self regulating, why does it have an extra wire, and where do i wire it to!

 

ok first
the b16a2 is from a 99+si
the b16a3 is from a 93-96 del sol.
the jdm b16a is from a 91-95 sirII
what motor do you have.

second. it shouldnt matter which one you have. i have a jdm b16a in my 94 civic
worked fine no problems.
just make sure you wire the alternator into the battery.
