Are the alternators of Nissan Sentras interchangeable if the engine size is different?

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I am trying to replace my 2003 Nissan Sentra alternator and its engine size is 1.8.  I'm wondering if an alternator from a 2.5 will work.

I'm super late to this discussion, I know, but I just accidentally ordered an alternator for a 2.5L 2003 Nissan Sentra, but needed one for a 1.8L 2003 Nissan Sentra GXE. So I'm wondering if anyone has actually tried this to confirm that it is possible. Worst case, I have to return the part, & order the proper one. But I'd like the one I ordered to work, since it's 100 amps, rather than 80 amps.
