I just came back from my cruise and before I left I ordered a 94 mr2 3sgte alternator... needless to say I would not be typing this if it fit properly. It does not fit nor there is a way to fit it there. Brackets are misaligned to another quarter inch or so. So I pulled the old one and compared them side to side. Ground on old one is skimpy and mr2 alternator is at least 12mm vs 10 on the old one. Unfortunately there are no numbers on old alternator so Im at a loss. I asked them to get me a 94 celica gt one just to see if that one fits... Yeah I know I know such is life of not doing the swap yourself, I would have known otherwise.
Does anyone have any idea what alternator is supposed to go into st205? I have my fingers crossed for a celica one because I hate having to extend my car rental yet again. Autozone is supposed to call me back by 4pm today. I would not be suprised if xat racing just left the old alternator there from 5sfe engine and if thats the case I will be up and running again. Hopefully. -------------------- Captain Pessimist

The 5SFE (Celica GT) alternator works just fine, that's normally what I recommend using.
