Is the GTI-R alternator different from other SR20s?
I had a hard time changing mine.. pulling the upper IC pipe, taking out the radiator upper hose, and the long bolt would not come off, it was blocked by the turbo. I used my original alternator and bracket from my old N/A SR20 when I did the swap.
I had to find my way and loosen the bracket to take out the alternator with the bracket attached to it.
I used and avenir alternator, and the pulley was smaller, and the original belt was just too long. and couldn't interchange the pulleys, they're different.
