Can I use an odb-1 alternator if my setup is odb-0. It is a 1st gen b16. Thanks

 

I have a 1992 alternator on my 1991 Si. The only difference is a few more amps and the alternator pully has one more groove. But the 88-91 civic alt. belt will fit with no problem, just make sure that you align the grooves. Other than that, the alt. is plug and plays with no problem. 96-00 alternators have a different shaped plug, therefore will not work.

 

Now I was talking about a D16z6 alt on my D16a6. You have a B16, not sure if it will be different.

Same amperage as far as I know.
It will work if the connectors plug in.

If you get one from a Y8 you get a few more amps, but you will need to splice in the correct connector.

 

should be able to use it, my alternator came from a mitsubishi,it was on my d15b6(obd0 engine) then i switched my engine to a d16y8 with no problems( converted to obd1 too) . Hope this helps.

 

Not to jack the thread or anything. But would i be able to use my alternator mounts from my d15b2 on a d16y7?

And same with the thermostat housing on the back part of the block?
