Is a 96 gsr OB2 or ob1? just making sure before buying anything. And the tranny has a starter as well?

[dereksi]

96 should be obd2.96 and newer cars are obd2. Tranny starter??

[obd1kenobi]

Yeah all 96 and up cars are obd2, and im lost on the Tranny starter too

[NorthSydeEk]

if its the hole i think yur talkin about its where the starter goes.

[NorthSydeEk]

yeah. Top of the tranny. Can i use a b16 starter for my jdm ls hydro tranny? and gsr alternator for my ob2 ls motor?

Yeah a starter goes there dude!

[Dirty Octopus™]

the starters should be relatively universal. i have an starter off of an OBD1 LS on my GSR tranny right now. as for the alternator u need the right OBD to use it. the plugs differ from OBD1 and 2.

[NorthSydeEk]

so i need obd1 for my alternator for my obd2 ls motor? And what about the starter can i use b16 starter?

Edit. Oh yeah i putting all this into an ek. So the wire is already obd2 and the motor is obd2

[NorthSydeEk]

nm about the starter.

ok check it..
your car is OBD2 so im assuming the harness is OBD2 as well
if so then you use an OBD2 alternator. BUT if u happen to have an OBD1 alternator and cant get your hands on an OBD2 then u can do wire splicing of sorts which i dont wanna get into cuz afterwards (if u dont have the spare parts on hand, cuz i had a spare D-series OBD1 alternator) u may as well have bought an OBD2 alternator which u dont wanna do i think.

in conclusion, if the wire is obd2 and the motor is obd2. get an obd2 alternator

did i rant? if so lemme know

[NorthSydeEk]

yes that make sense. I heard i can use obd1 for need to cut the ob1 wire for it and such. But thanks though.
