nice try smart ass, there's not one listing on the first page that actually has anything to do with what he wants, hence why he's asking it here.

As for the OP sorry idk. Are you planning on mounting it in the A/C spot or making a new place?

appreciate it man, yea ive searched everywhere jus figured id ask here cuz i know a few guys on here have integras, lol

Ive seen it in a couple suvs but not a car. your gonna have to make a custom bracket for it and mount it by the other alt. you'll also need a new belt. make sure you have everything perfect before you try to drive around with it. a slipped belt or wobbly pulley = blown engine

yea for real man, theres not a great lot of room on these integras, and im thinking if i go off of the other alternator bracket i should be inline pretty good im hoping, itll take some time for sure to get everything on right and even.

usually going by the other alt is the best idea but if theres not room, try the same spot on the other side of engine. you should be able to make an almost identical mount, just opposite.

just go slow and remeasure everything so you have it spot on. Ive seen many an engine rebuild go wrong when it comes to the pulley system

What do you need help with? Finding/Fabricating a bracket? Please be more specific when you ask questions.

You have to remove the A/C. It's the only way it's gonna fit. Then you can modify that bracket to fit the alternator.

mainly i was asking to see if anyone on here had put dual alts on an integra, but im pretty sure i can do it myself, im pretty decent in fabricating

Depending on how much room under the hood, you'll most likely need to either relocate or remove the AC all together.

yea, ive considered at also, theres like alot of room beside and kinda below the stock alt. might could squeeze another, its like at the bottom right of the engine tho, i beleive i can get one there

I know with my truck, there's lots of room. If I move the alternator a few inches out, I can fit another one up top in between the stock alt and the A/C pump.
