December 19, 200421 yr hi i really need help... im stuck in northern ontario and my alternator just broke up!!!! Is there an alternative or i must find a subaru one!!!!!! I got a 4wd loyale 93. Or with which models it could be replace by or anything that could fit... as my battery indicates 12 v when i test it, my ultimate test was when i let the lights on, the engine goes down and finally die. but if i shut the lights before it dies, the engine keep running and dies finally. i gess its the alternator. If someone got any clue, pls let me know. The battery can hold a charge.. Thx very much...
December 19, 200421 yr Any ea82 alternator will work. From 85-94 wagons sedans and hatch. I think and 84-86 brat alt will work too. it just needs to be a internally regulator alternator. I guess you could use a 80-84 ea81 alternator too if you had a external voltage regulator to hook up to it. What went out on your old one? is it not charging, or is it charging at 18+ volts?
December 19, 200421 yr Try a search on alternator swaps. I was just talking with Snowman and he was talking about doing anuograde toa Chevy (I believe) alternator that kicks out more amperage, but I don't know the details. I seem to recall a few discussions about this modification about a year ago. If you're stuck in a spot where Subaru parts aren't generally available, this may work for you.
December 19, 200421 yr I like to just fix whats wrong with them. in my jeep its usually just dirty contacts. go ahead and take it apart and fix it.
