Hello All

I am NOT sure of this but here in the US we (WE=2.6L RWD Starions) use 3rd Gen Mazda RX7 Alternators wich are rated at 100AMPs. Mazda uses ALOT of Mitsubishi parts and the alternators is one of those and they are a DIRECT bolt on to the 2.6L, all you need is to swap out the belt pulley.

This Picture is of a 3rd Gen 1993-1995 Mazda RX7 Turbo 100AMP.

And this is the Starion 2.6L RWD Alternator 70-80AMP.

So all you need to do is SWAP out the belt pulleys and go! We even make CUSTOM 110AMP and 140AMP Alternators here for members with BIG Stereo systems. And ALL are BOLT on. So if anyone can post a part number and brand I can try to cross refference it with the Starion part number and see if you guys can benefir from this mod.

Hope this helps.

The last auto sparky I spoke to (when I got my alternator rebuilt) is that
most modern alternators are pretty much interchangeable and
all their innards are identical. Just a matter of mounting them.

If busted your existing unit can be rebuilt with uprated innards.
