just swap the pulley from your current Alt to the new one. It takes about five minutes. The belts are different so you have to use your existing pulley. I did it about a year ago and it is still running strong....

Thank you all for all of your help. I am not all that worried about making my car fast(for lack of a better word) until I have a new daily driver but more to keep the 3 on the road so that my wife doesn't make me get rid of it. I will definitly keep all of your recomendations in mind as I go through...

all you have to do is take the pulley off of your stock alt and put it onto the GS alt. I have had the 90 amp gs alt on my car for about a year with just doing this and it is just fine. The only other thing that I had to do was file the positive connecor a little to be able to get it to fit on the s...

LimeGreen, As far as the tranny will it hold a mostly stock bp, All that is planned for now is a CAI and if my Pacesetter exhaust will still work to keep that on the car. Turbo will be a in the future possibly but I can replace the trans then if need be. As far as the wiring harness how much of a pa...

Okay have a line on a 94 protege 1.8l dohc (BPD???) list is 850.00 but the last one was listed at 650.00 and dropped to 450.00 so who knows. I am waiting to hear what all comes with the egine as well as far as accs and ecu. If I am swaping from a Sohc B6 to the bp do I need the ecu. thanks as always...

Okay here is the question. I have a 93 Sohc that is having issues. I was wondering if a swap to a dohc from a 95 would help. looking at one with 57000 miles for 450.00 is this a decent price and if so what else from the 95 do I need. Any and all help is appreciated...

Okay here is the situation, my cat is completely rusted out, so my car sounds like $hit. Unfortunatly with my first kid on the way I cannot afford a new one from an auto parts store because they are about 150 to 300 depending on which one and they are all weld on universal jobs. so I saw these and w...

Ok here is the deal, I have a 93 mx3 1.6L 4 cyl. Today on my way to work this morning i was getting off of the highway and went to downshift into fourth gear and could not shift into fourth, I then tried third and it went right in, would not go into second but went into first ok. once I got to work ...

Okay I have a 93 1.6 sohc that I have been having idle issues with, especially when at a stop with the clutch in and on the brakes. The idle will start at 800 rpm and drop to 200 or so then back to 800 and then 200 and so on and so forth. So Far I have tried the following fixes. 90 amp alt from v6, ...

I just did the swap form the 1.6l sohc alt to the vv6 90 amp alt about a month ago. It is pretty straight forward just change the pulleys and then wedge it in, it is a tight fit to get it into position then the mounting bolt goes backwards, and the top adjustment bolt needs a custom mout to be able ...

so what parts can you get for the SOHC

any good parts from other cars

Thank you for all the good advice it is much appreciated. Out of curiosity from what you guys knowis there any other possibilities as to what is wrong because it almost seems as if the disty alone doesn't make sense. The Other part is that the car is being stange about when it acts up, it will do it...

how do you adjust your timing, also is there anywhere that I can get a timing gun cheap that anyone knows of or is there anywhere that rents them
thanks

I am looking to upgrade my rear drums to rear disc, Is there any way to get a rear hub and caliper that will fit the back that will still make it so that my e-brake will function properly and if so what donor car should I look for. I did a quick search but nothing came back that looked right.

thanks
