Which alternator am I supposed to use with my GSR swap in my EF. Everything s converted obd1 including jumper harness. I have a battery light that always stays on and it runs power off my battery. After a while it dies out. My alternator is not powering the engine like its supposed to. I tired redoing the wiring for the alternator but it didnt make a difference. Which alternator am I supposed to use for the swap? Thanks

 

i cant see y you wouldnt use the one that comes with that engine. thats what its made for. check your wiring

 

oh by the way your alt may be crappin out on ya too..... check that too. see what the output voltage is when its running

 

You can use any b-series alternator for your swap as long as it uses the green circle plug(unless you put the squared shaped one in instead) If your throwing a battery light that means there's a malfunction with the charging system. My guess is you have a bad alternator, or the wiring is messed up somewhere. Just take your alternator out and take it to autozone.... they'll test it for free and let u know if it's good or not. Then go from there
p.s. if it is a bad alternator pm me i have one fs for a good price

 

its a good alternator... brand new from o-reilly.. obd1 gsr

 

never messed with the wiring either. so it cant be that

 

crx and GSR alternator wiring is different.

 

we are trying out a obd0 b16 alternator today.. hope it works

Really? How different? Do you have diagram of how its supposed to be?

 

TTT

 

gsr, it plugged right into my ef harness with no mods. mne was 95 gsr & 89 hf crx

 

I figured it would work also, plug and play right?

Well, the battery light stays on and the alternator is not doing it's job like it is supposed to...I checked the wiring a bit on the alternator and traced it back some...doesn't seem like its mesed up.
