It will fit perfectly. The only thing that changed is the newer version puts out more amps. 120 vs 150.

Thanks Carlos,

Do you know if it is OK to have the manual version in a tip? Or do you need to change the pulley? I have a tip.

Carlo_Carrera

It is total okay to use a manual version with a clutch pulley on a Tip.

But do not use a Tip alternator with a solid pulley on a manual car.

A couple weeks in, and so far everything's been fine.

Shameless plug, I went to the theaters last week, and forgot to turn off my parking lights. Found the lights on when I came back to the car after a 2-hour movie. Car still started up just fine

Everything still fine. Not a single hiccup. 100% voltage regulator and/or alternator. Hopefully this serves to help anyone else in the future, should you experience the same random overnight power-draw issues as I did.

Glad to hear you got it all sorted out.

The difference between the auto and manual alt is the manual has an rpm override clutch on the pully!

Update... and much thanks.

I finally got off my butt and ordered the alternator from Rock Auto a couple of weeks ago. A huge thanks to Mfanatic325 for the info and saving me huge $$$. Also a huge thanks to Carlos and Kevin for the info on the clutched pulley.

I installed this yesterday along with a new belt. My voltage meter in the dash used to read around 13.5 when charging, now it reads 14. I barely made it out of the neighborhood on my test drive and it finished charging. Before I would have to drive for about 20 miles before it would be charged.

Much better performance now and peace of mind.

Thanks guys for all the help.

Ayyyy, I'm glad I could help save you some money, and all is well with your beloved car. Happy motoring!

excuse me, but what does that mean:connected the drain tube ??

Carlo_Carrera

If you install a lead-acid "wet" battery in your Porsche there is a small clear plastic tube that should be connect to the vent hole on the battery. It prevents the acid from spilling onto the car and corroding everything.

If you install a dry cell AGM type battery there is no need to connect the vent tube.

Looks like this.
