Alternator, interchangable issue. Options

[My2Celi]

Hello its me again with problems. 2 nights ago my lil bro mr2 died downtown dallas due to his alternator crapped out. he called me and ask me if my 5sfe alt. would work, i said i think so, so i took mine out and went with a member here, Scott. As we arrived we took out his alternator (which was a 4hr of pain) cuz we were limited on tools. We pair each other alt. and it looked the same except the plug for power was difffernt. Got angry, cuz i thought it was a waste of time but we had an idea to take it apart and see if we can swap the plug part and yes it worked. i put it back up with my alternator and its running perfect now. But now this is the problem Scott told me he had a spare, which turn out he didn't. We have a dead turbo mr2 sitting at a garage and was wondering since its a 100amp alt. would it harm my car? It should mount the same for my car i think.

look in the phone book under "automotive - electrical" there should be tons of listings for starters, alternators, electrical repair/parts/services. Call around and ask for prices as well as what output they run at. Also if they are new or rebuilt.
