I dunno, but if it only lasts 3 years I'd get something else. Best to stick with OEM or JDM parts too cause you never know. I used to have a ford and went to autozone when it needed new spark plugs. Bosch plugs came up in their system as a match for my car so i bought them...then they didn't work (car was misfiring) I called my dad (a master mech) and he said it was cause they wern't made for american cars...I forget, but I think they're german or something. Anyway took them back and got champions or something and the car ran perfect after that. Long story short I have no idea if Bosch is compatible with Japanese cars, but like I said I would go OEM or JDM.

Aftermarket Starters and Alternators

Working in an Autoparts store, I can tell you, it doesnt matter if it has lifetime warrenty or what ever. Alternators and Starters are the #1 items returned defective. Wether it be 6 months or 3 years. I get at least 3-6 back defective EVERY DAY.

Definately something to go OEM on.
