If and when it does replace it with a denso and enjoy another 200k+ miles of no problems.
Look into a Denso remanufactured alternator. They are the Honda OE brand and are designed to work with Honda's dual-mode charging system. You can find them for under $300 at places like Rockauto or NAPA. I recently replaced mine on a '13 Honda CRV with no issues.
The large frame alternator from a 1997-2001 Camry with the 2.2L(5S) will fit the Celica with minimal modifications. I had to grind the staked washer on the alternator a bit on the pivot side, and unbolt the bottom of the adjuster bracket to let it slightly swing out. Result is a 220A alternator in my 6th Gen to power the upgraded sound system without my lights flickering.
I recently purchased parts from NAPA. Got a Denso reman alternator, water pump, and belt tensioner.
Original starter and alternator
Buy off rockauto and go with denso brand
Alternator is easy. OEM or Denso for sure. It’s a super easy job.
Just did my girlfriends Highlander. PITA!! Like others stated, you'll save yourself $1000, but you're gonna be there for a while.
The alternator (new OEM Denso, 2nd one, installed about 100kmi ago) on my wife's 2007 Solara v6 3MZFE with 227kmi just died last night. She didn't make it home.
I bought reman denso 2 years ago and it lasted 1 year.
