I need some sorta bracket that will allow me to bolt my alternator to the rear of my engine, or on the RWD CA18DET's, where the alternator normally mounts to. Also, possibly the pulley. I could probably just grind mine down but this is how it's playing out. I dont have a power steering pump, or hoses, and I would pretty much need this rear bracket ASAP. Anyone got one?????

Thanks,Cory

well i am going to buy Dees alt and bracket. I dont know if he has anymore.

But for a temp solution i used the pulsar alt and made a custom bracket. I used the PS bracket and the Alt bracket and cut and welded the 2 together. It seems to be working fine so far 30 miles or so driven on.

If you want more info just let me know.

Excellent ! I can't wait to reassemble my woman's very expensive engine and go see how this car can run with a stronger clutch, bigger cams, suspension, slicks, and of curse the bigger of my 3 turbos. I just don't have the time now because I'm in the process of closing on a new home, so my time is extremely limited. Get it to the track and get some times for us.

once the new bearings are broken in i plan on upping the boost to 20 psi

then take her to the track. With some practice lounching i think i can break into the 12s. hopefully
