i put a y7 in me dx. used the obd0 sohc alternator and had to cut 1 rib off the y7 alternator belt for it to fit. any other belts can use? cause now my alternators maxed out on the adjuster but the belt is still loose. any other brackets or belts can use to fit good??

 

uuum. use the belt that was originally meant for your car. why would you cut a rib for?

 

had to cut a rib because the obd0 belt doesnt fit. i didnt convert to use the obd2 alternator and the ef crank pulley doesnt fit on the y7.

 

just do what i did.

I used the stock alternator from the b16a2 (obd2) and switched out the plugs so i can use my stock CRX harness works flawlessly

dont mind the ugly hole lol. i didnt have a dremel @ the time so i just rounded it with a drill bit lol

 

ok. thanks sounds like i gotta convert my harness to the alternator.

 

I used my old alternator and belt from the d16a6 I removed for my swap. Since the crank pulley is larger on the Y7, the alternator is pretty tight even before you tighten the bolts down.

 

so the belt from the a6 is bigger than the obd0 dx but smaller than the y7??

 

The belt from my A6 is smaller than what the Y7 would have originally used (looks smaller by one rib). Not sure about how it compares to the DX tho. Works fine so far using the Y7's pulley and I've put over 1000km on my swap.

 

OK THANK U. SOUNDS GOOD. IMA TRY THAT OUT N IF NOT THEN I GUESS CONVERT MY ALTERNATOR PLUG TO OBD1 OR 2.
