Alternator (4 CYL to 6 CYL)

[Skiddy]

I have searched all through the board and on yahoo and i havn't really found exactly how to swap the alternator from a v6 to a 4 cyl model. Is there a link that says what is needed to do or does anyone know how to do it. ANy help would be appreciated. The only thing i found was a MX-3 v6 alternator into a pro, is this the same exact procedure that would need to be followed for the 4 cyl MX-3? Thanks

Swapping 60Amp (RS) for 90Amp (GS) alternator:<p>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
