my MR2's (n/a 1990) alternator was faulty and then got replaced by a recon one
the prob is the alternator got fried and smoke can be seen
anyone got any ideas whats wrong?:hmmmm:
does anyone have an alternator for MR2 1990 n/a (used or new) and keen to sell it to me?
on my way back home, i realised the car is underpowered (rpm can hardly goes to 3k and only stuck at 2krpm even tho it is full burst) and i heard an high pitch frequency. does that come from the replacement alternator that doesnt comply with the MR2 specs?:mad:
during the replacement the workshop guy pull a tiny weeny hose (right if you are facing mr2 and it is near to the diagnosis connector, engine is 3SGE) using a plier, it is okay?:confused:

really hope you guys here can help me:nurse:
thanks

Hi,

My name is Steven, i just change my engine from 4G15 to 4G93 SOHC.

Now my exhaust still maintance to stock, any my friend say that need to change bigger piping and also extrator, bullet and muffler, but i dont know what size was better on my car.

I got a bad experiance before on 4G15, i only change to straight bullet and top speed at 145km/h only, very teruk........
