hey i am about to swap a b16 into my crx and i was wandering if i could use my almost new d 15 altenator on the b16 swap ?

 

no cuz its a d15 altenator

 

well the plug in looks the same on booth and it sure would save some money

 

No and Yes. You cant just slap it on and go. first of all the b16 alternator has a different size belt, i believe it would be possible if you did change out the voltage regulator and a few other parts, not sure which though. I had one of those high output 150A alternators to power my sterio, when i did my b16 swap i asked the same question and was told you would have to change a few parts but it would be possible to still keep the same alternator. I never actually went through with that because i decided to sell the sterio and go turbo.

Anyone else done this?

um sorry it DOES work

its easy to put it on

the thing aligns up almost perfect.

all u have to do is run a few washers where the bottem bolt goes and your set

as for voltage, i would worry about it because if its not the same, its damn near close and as for the belt, it all depends on the crank pully u have...

I did that to my swap for the alternator. If you're using the b-series crank pulley get the b-seires alternator belt. But you need to switch the pulley on the d-series pulley with a b-series pulley. If that makes sense.
