so the questions im trying to ask is..

if i get a sohc alternator, and the sohc brackets, is it possible to bolt on to a dohc motor?. and function correctly..
also what are signs of a bad alternator? like car wont start up sometimes..or wut?

keep in mind i searched b4 u try to grill me..

when i searched i found out that the ka24e alternator will bolt up to an sr20 if u use the same brackets, because the belts sit a little diffrent...can this rule be applied to a ka24de twin cam motor... thanks guys..need help asap

Get a damn multi meter on the battery and see what the voltage is while in idle, then reving, then idle under load.

If you dont have a multimeter just disconnect battery while its running, put some load on it and if the car stays running for several minutes alt is working.

the multimeter test is best because you get to do it yourself...experience solving your own problems owns.

Freaky ass shit? All you have to do is remove the ground and set it aside...
