Default BP4W Alternator Hitachi regulator?


rockauto shows this alternator with "internal regulator" in the description. Would that mean this will work in 90-93?

90-97 alternators are more or less plug and play, the big different is the pulley, not the regulator.

A NB1 alternator is not plug and play on a NA.

NB1 alternator shouldn't be used on an NA.

NB1 alternator needs the ECU to regulate it, so as other posts point out, it's not going to work on NA system.
