Can a gsr altenator be used on an itr without any modifications? Thanks in advance.

 

I say they should be... but what do I know

 

i would think so

 

The reason i am asking is because the gsr has a nippon denso and the itr had a mitsubishi, which surprised me. I thought the ITR would be nippon denso too. They put out the same amps, but there is $140 price difference in favor of the gsr. Could they mount differently? Anyone have one on their ITR? If so, did you need to modify anything?

 

I'm pretty sure they're interchangeable. Get the one with the higher amp output if you can - more juice for a/c and tunes.

 

I believe there is a slight difference in mounting bolts. I'd have to double check at work tomorrow. But the alternator itself should be interchangeable.

 

Yes I would think so,I have one for sale if you are interested PM me

 

I'll get back to you on that. PM me a price. Right now I am just trying to make sure it's going to work. This is my only car and I work 6 days a week, so it can't be down long. Preferably a one day project, any longer than that and I will be stuck driving a blazing fast stock base model Cavalier! (Girl's car....complete with Girlspeed sticker on back window!)

 

Get the ITR one y0!

wow that makes a lot of sense


Yes, the physical alternators are innerchangeable.

Here is a JDM ITR alternator that I just took off a JDM motor... made by denso.

I tried to put it on a 98 non-denso USDM ITR but the pulleys were different.

I just ended up using a 2000 crv alternator instead because thats what I had laying around.

I would buy a used alternator for cheap. $50 dollars shipped VS $$$$

It wasnt supposed to make any. j00r humor is lacking y0.

 

So let me get this straight....
JDM ITR = denso
USDM ITR = mitsubishi

I have the JDM ITR so I should have a denso on it, which is the same as the gsr.....
hmmm..... wonder why they changed alternators from JDM to USDM.....

 

PM sent

 

difference between itr & gsr is that type r uses shorter alternator belt while gsr uses slight longer belt. but it not that long, so you'll still be able to uses either belt.

 

bump...anyone actually exchange the two?

you still can't use it.

While I was doing my motor swap I noticed the belt on my jdm itr was a little scratched up so i tried to swap belts from my gsr motor I had just taken out. The result was the gsr belt was a little to big for the jdm itr motor.

Also check that the plug on the alternator matches your wire harness -- they aren't all the same.

I had a 'mystery alternator' that came with my motor die on me. Replacement b-series alternators either didn't line up properly, didn't fit the top bracket or bolt that I had, or the plug didn't line up.

What I wound up doing was stacking the replacement alternator on top of the old alternator, and ran pencils through the top and bottom mounting holes of both alternators -- when they lined up, and the pulleys lined up, and the plugs matched, I had found a match.

yes, i have

I have the old USDM 98 alternator still if you want it, works fine, I just have it because i was taking a supercharger kit off and I needed a stock alternator pulley for a USDM ITR(which I didnt have).


He is correct though, I simply used a GSR belt instead of a P73 belt.

about what the last guy is saying... he might be thinking D series and obd-1 and obd-2

Also depends if you have a US, Japanese, or Canadian motor / alternator.

My friend's SiR used a oval plug, my ITR alternator used a square plug.

Both were OBD-II alternators.
