f22 and h22 altornator the same?

[JohnD1079]

Is the h22 and f22 alternator the same? They look pretty similar, well the ones i have do. But on the honda parts website, they have different part numbers.

im not too sure but i think so

the alternators themselves are the same, but the prelude pulley is smaller with 6 ribs, while the accord one is larger with 5 ribs. either works. the only thing is that the alternator tensioner doesnt get tight enough to use the smaller prelude pulley with the longer stock accord belt, i had to space it out with washers so it could tighten more.

there are 2 different pulleys on the power steering pump and alternator on the cb7 from what i've seen. one is just larger than the other, and it wouldn't surprise me if the lude had 2 or 3 different ones between all models. usually the same unit, just a pulley difference and you can swap pulleys IF they don't work as is. a longer/shorter belt is usually all you need to remedy any combo

oo ya, now i remember reading about this in some sticky. Probably the swaps one i have printed out.

Beat me to it. I am running the accord alt on my car. My prelude alt is laying somewhere around my house.
