downunder39 Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torxxx Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 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?

northguy Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 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.
