Hey guys, new user here!

Have a quick question for the alternator

We are doing a swap to my car (well my friend is) and we are stuck at wiring the alternator. its a gsr going into an ek coupe SI 98. he is also using the stock wiring harness from the ek. problem is, the alternator cables from the ek has 3 wires, and the alternator from the gsr has 4.

how can this be rewire to make it work?

ive been searching like crazy all evening and cant find a thing!

thanks for the help!

why not use the GSR wiring harness?

Because we dont have it, its pretty much all wired up already, its firing up and everything, but the alternator is not.

then you need a wiring schimatic of the GSR wiring harness and you need to run a 4th wire to where ever it goes

Thanks for the reply's Greenblurr! Ive been looking for someone to answer since yesterday on other forum with no such luck!

I was actually thinking of gettig a wiring diagram for the gsr alternator but i can find any online. i also tried hondahookup who has lots of manuals but did not find what i needed. would you happen to know where i can find one?

thanks !

www.helminc.com (http://www.helminc.com) make hondas factory service manuals. it will have eveything and more about your car (make sure you get the one for the car that the engine came out of and not your car)

go to a shop and ask them to photocopy the diagram out of their book... if they're in a good mood they may not ask questions and just do it.

Isn't the extra wire the Crank Angle Sensor?
