Hi, I can't fnd a bosch G1 alternator. Anyone have one? I can get a G2 Bosch so can it be used?
Any other suggestions? Tired of blowing up Autozone versions.

if you have a local alternator guy, i would eat the core charge on the alt. and have the OEM unit rebuilt as a back up. I've had nothing but bad experiences with aftermarket alts. and find that having a spare OEM rebuilt one laying around is a great second option. I have found you have a 50/50 shot at getting a bad alt that will fail with-in a few thousand miles when you buy from the autoparts store.



Edit: also where in oregon are you? im going to try to get a VR4 meet together next spring and have all my buddies from the Reno/Tahoe area come up. there are about 10 or so VR4's down there and im hoping about 6 or 7 will make it out.

Eugene OR and ty. ER is installing OEM rebuilt wrapping down pipe O2 , ptp turbo blanket and wrapping FP manifold. I dont know if they are dumping or keeping the disfunctional heat shield they put in that did not work at all.iim also adding a ford Mustang hood vent.
We will see if we get stuck in the. syskews in mid winter. It might be our last if so.

I just did the saturn alternator in the factor spot, surprisingly easy and my volts have never been better. Wish I did this a long time ago.

your only 3 hours away, in the spring time once i get mine running lets get together and go for a drive. somewhere around Chemult or something on 58. we can try to get erik in medford to meet up with us as well. im also going to try and organize a large meet of people from san fran up to seattle to meet somewhere around the Weed, Ca area, as it's right about the middle, for a meet and short cruise of VR4's. I'm going to have a lot of friends from the Reno/Tahoe area to come out, about 10 or so VR4's out there.
