I just recently swapped a JDM B18C into my 99 GSR, I put the GSR alternator on the B18C along with the GSR AC also put the GSR engine harness on, all was fine for about a week. First off during the day the speedometer stopped working, then i was I95 going to Ft. Lauderdal for dinner when it seemed like the fuel cut at 4000rpm in 5th gear, so i decided to get off at the next exit and have a look, i stopped at a light and the car just died, wouldnt start. The battery was dead. I just tried putting the alternator that came with the motor back on and still isnt charging the battery. But with a charged battery it will run, until i remove the terminals which kills it right away.

NEED HELP!!!

Or not hooked up properly. Check ALL the wiring, including the main engine-to-chassis ground...

 

then i must have 2 bad alternators?.... the GSR alternator was working for a week and then stopped.... dont get it?

 

bump

 

Get your alternators tested. Autozone and Checkers both do it for free I believe.

Sounds like quite a coincidence. I'd check the wiring again.
