i would think that the engines are the same... unles syou have some sort of extra accessory that i dont know about.

in theory if the casings are the same for both stock alternators.. it should fit no problem.

No the alt won't fit, its slightly different.

how so? is the mounting different somehow?

i just find it a little hard to believe honda would change an engine just for the canada model. or there could be like a bunch of random holes that can be used to mount the alternator. perhaps the pulley size is different?

either way, i think theres a way to get one on there if you tried hard enough. but it might become expensive if you have to replace stuff.
