you can always install a alternator from a v6 in you just have to change the pulleysumcamar1 wrote:Give me a break. I'm slowly learning everything I can about the MX3, and now you want me to be a Protege expert.
My small brain can only handle so much info before it starts writing over other info.

check the FAQ FILE i think it is in therejaydog5678 wrote:I believe you need to change pulleys. The SOHC 4 uses a v-belt pulley and if I'm not mistaken, the v-6 uses a ribbed belt.

wow glad u looked in the i4 faq cause its not therermazdamx3sohc wrote:did that all night, all there is, is "i THINK"
Swapping 60Amp (RS) for 90Amp (GS) alternator:
I notice a couple of weeks a go, on my friend Ron'sProtege that the engine RPM's would change each time the lights flashed when the emergency flashers were on. The stock charging system was having a hard time keeping up to the electrical requirments of the car. I gave Ron my spare 90Amp alternator to see if that would fix the problem of the engine speed dropping everytime he increased the electrical demand on the car. He had to swap pulleys from the old 60Amp to the 90Amp alternator because the "B" engine use a V-belt where the "K" engine use a serpentine belt. Also the Mounting bolts attach from the opposite side. Once the alternator is mechanically installed the wiring just plugs in. Now with the charging system having more capacity it uses less engine horsepower to operate all the electric systems
oh & thank yoda for figuring it out
