I've found that the gvr4's use a 90A alternator and that the 2g/1g use a 65A alternator....not sure if im correct?

is there a differene in weight between the 65a/90a?

can a gvr4 use a 1g alternator with out any problems?

Should be a 75A in the 1G's IIRC. I've used the 75A alternator with no ill effect, but things like ABS etc. were deleted- no fogs, things like that- so I can't honestly say it'll be fine on a stock car. If the car draws too much (over 75A) you'll cook the alternator in a hurry.

I have a 75a on my car. I havent ditched anything, for the most part. It worked fine when it was new, but I think its slowly on its way out. Its been puked on too many times.

Quoting manitousxti:

No, There is no difference in weight at all. Besides that, if you are thinking of this because of weight, then you would never see a gain even if it weighed a little more.

The alternator's BTW, are the exact same between the 1G Auto AWD and the GVR4. The cases and internals are all identical.
