Unhappy B2200 alt on rx7 fc 86

So I decide to use an alternator from a b2200 on a rx7 fc 86 the tricky part is when I plug in the connector a relay on the CPU turns on and the idiots/warning light turns on so how can I find a solution for this? Hope all of you can help me!

my first question is why? Is it actually a higher amp alt? And without knowing how the wiring is on a B2200, gonna be tough to help you

Why? I live in El Salvador and it's hard to find things of rx7 and the unique alt that I can use with same amp it's that but it's a reasonable observation what about the wiring ? I search and nobody got the wiring diagram !

Idoit cluster lights up when the alt is no good. So youve probably got a bad one/wiring issue. Maybe terminals are reversed? Did you research this swap or just plug it in?

First of all I reverse the terminals and the idiot cluster lights gone normal maybe this would be and second I made a several research and it's the same position for the fc s4 alt harness and at the same time I just plug it in!

exactly why i'm asking if it's actually charging YOUR car. check it.

if worse comes to worst, there has to be a B-series truck site that has links to a wiring diagram.

as a matter of fact, here:
