Help: Alternator?
Tried different yunkyards, but this car is so friggin rare that no one seems to have it, believe me, I've tried! A friend of my looked in one place that deals mainly in different car-parts such as alternators and they just: "Huh? Never heard of it. Are you sure you don't mean MX-5? Wait a minute (folds through several pages)." Then he found that there actually was a car named MX-3, but he hadn't seen one ever!!

Ok. Think about it the other way around then. I have bought a new alternator for my MX-3. Will this new alternator function IF I swap my engine to a KL-DE/KL-ZE? Or will there be a problem with the ampere?lakersfan1 wrote:OK. I thought about the above statement driving home. I should clarify that it's all 90 AMP aternators on the Mazda 2.5L V6s. Some I believe had 110 amp alternators, which will fit, but will require running another wire to it.

No. It'll work fine. I think most people on this board that do the KL swap are using thier old MX3 alternator.verzutiko wrote:Ok. Think about it the other way around then.
