Default Starter and Alternator Compatibility: D-series to B-series

Does anyone know if a starter from a 92-95 D16Z6 will work with a YS1 tranny and if a alternator from a D16Z6 will work on a 90-93 b18a?

I've used a 94 GSR alternator on an D15 motor. So you might be able to get the alternator to work.

Did it bolt up right? Or did you have to fabricate a mount for it? What belt did you use?

The Alternator WILL WORK B on D or D on B, whatever.

On Civic/CRX/integra's the easiest way to differentiate alternators is by 3 rib pulley or 4 rib pulley. NOT by motor code. Example: B series alternators (4 rib) are the same as 92+ D series (also 4-rib).

You cannot put a 3-rib pulley on a 4-rib alt. or vice versa. The alt. shafts are different sizes (I tried once).

Also, a difference between them is the mounting ear location, although with the right belt it's not an issue.

That said, rest easy knowing I've always run a SOHC D Alternator on my B16A for pulley-frame clearance. I'm using a 760mm (3 rib) belt, part number 31110-PM5-A110.

I'm also using a 4-rib alt. on my SOHC D16A6 to maximize blower belt grip and to take advantage of the 92+ crank pulley (boost).

The starters are different.
