Couldnt find anything in the archives. Basically i have a d16y7 engine/crank pully which is 4-rib, and a 4-rib JRSC which is waiting to go on. Up until this point ive been using a d16a6 alternator which is 3-rib (just leaving the extra rib on the crank pulley, like most people do). Its not going to work with the JRSC, so i need to get the alternator situation figured out.

Now, will any of the 4-rib pulleys fit an a6 alternator? I know the shaft sizes are different among years/models, but dont know which is which. I will buy a newer alternator if i need to, but i would like to use the current one since its in great shape (which years did they start with the 4-rib on the d-series alts anyhow?).

 

i know somebody knows this.. anyone?

Just pick up a 92+ Alt, Im nut sure if it will plug up the same but it should be close...

Thanks great news. I wasnt aware the obd1s were all 4rib. Going to try to find one and get the JRSC on. The daily driver needed a little more power.
