alternator you could fabricate a bracket to come off the arb corner plate (not sure what a s2 set up is like, have only looked into s1 / rs16i)

they not needed really imo a baffled sump should be more then adequate. cant think of anyone having oil surge issues

will free up a little power tho and prevention IS better than cure

Horrendous job. Only go dry sump if you have too.

I am and the alternator is being changed for a tiny Denso item with custom mounting brackets water pump mods and cutting the new sump about to get the oil pump where it will work best.

it would be a struggle to fit it
the alternator would need moving slightly and have to be smaller
there is alot of clearance issues but i bet its not impossible!
