4A-GE 16v Alternators Interchangeable..??

Postby El Gato Felix » Mon Feb 10, 2014 6:33 pm

My 4A-GE 16v RWD alternator stopped charging :( . Will an alternator from an (AW11) Mr2 4A-GE or later generation Corolla (AE92) 4A-GE bolt up with no issues..?? Also would it connect into my existing alternator plug in..?? Tried the SEARCH button but no luck again. Thanks :)

Most r interchangeable. Some mr2's work n others the brackets are flipped tge opposite way. Most of the plugs from that time period are all the same aswell. I am using or trying to use a mk3 supra alt wich is a 70a the same as the mr2. It is spot on w the 86 alternator except the plug n post r slighty clocked in a diff position. They are also priced the same at most local part stores to the 86 units

^^^ Thanks for the reply :) Is the alternator from a 7M-GTE or a 7M-GE..?? Sounds like it would be a great upgrade especially with more amps :)

Im currently using one off a AE92. It works fine and all the connections are correct. Just be aware that it is possible that aftermarket AE86 4age alternator pullies will not fit with a new model alternator.

Depending on what brand of alternator you have the stator shaft diameter may change. So you may not be able to just bolt on your pulley. I have had this happen to me. So try to stay with toyota and rebuild what you have.

I had an alternator from an aw11 on my last 86 worked great. I would like to swap my new alternator with a 7mgt in the near future due to extra stuff I will be adding to the car.
