Alternators
Simple question
Are all EJ20 Alternators the same? Mines showing signs of wanting to exit stage left.

not the same. But its not difficult to make a modern WRX unit work on a Liberty. If your running a big sound install then a modern Gen 4 Liberty one would be best as they are good for around 120 amps IIRC.

I have a 90 amp Forester alternator fitted to my car. It requires wiring change just on the plug that goes into alternator but other than that its a straight fit.

tj, no there not all the same
theres 2 wire type and 3 wire type alternators. for your RS you require a 2 wire type (as found on the early (pre97 impreza/rs) although i'm aware that you can modify a 3 wire type into fitting a 2 wire application and vice versa.

Ill confirm it when I open my engine bay up, but I think I may have a 3 wire one atm. I assume 3 wire means 3 plugs into the alernator itself?
