Hey guys, I dont have a RSX but I have the k20a2 swap in my 98 ITR. We got everything installed and the car was running great until one day the battery got drained (swap has been in the car for about 4 months).
Now we used a multimeter to test all the wires dealing with the alternator to see if there was a short of some sort but everything checked out fine as well as the grounds (i have about 5 of them due to this problem).
So we figure the alternator probably went bad so I ordered a used one online and its still not working. I took both alternators to my local autozone, checkers, pepboys, oreily's and no one can test it due to the bolt size being so small that there holding brackets cant hold it to test it.
Just wandering what everyone here was doing to test their alternators if this ever occured or what you think might be the problem?
