I have ST swaybar that required loosening to fit bigger Quest alternator. Stock alternator C-C is 6. Quest Alt is 6. Also grind the lip to allow the bolt adapter to sit squarely.

Obviously I went overboard. Remove as much as possible without affecting the bolt that holds the alternator together. This is the key to having maximum adjustment. I had to take off about a half inch of material on the bracket. Enjoy your new alternator!

New voltage is perfect at I would recommend this seller. Last edited by NateDogg on Tue Jul 15, am, edited 1 time in total. Post by adamky » Mon Jul 14, pm Nice write up. I'm running a Quest alternator, but I must have gotten a goofy one, because I had to mod it in a few different spots than you did to get it to fit. Is If so, it shouldn't be much over 14 volts at all.

Hopefully this explaination of this install is a lot easier to understand and easier for you guys to do. First you need to get an Alternator from any Nissan Quest 3. They have the same bolt pattern. This conversion will upgrade your electrical system from an 80 amp to amp alternator.

The Quest alternator will not bolt on to the lower alternator mounting bracket on the KA24E motor. The alternator bolt is too big, so the pivot bolt holes have to be drilled out. But the hole was still to small to fit the bolt thru.

So I used a round metal file and filed the hole just a little bit bigger. Once the Quest alternator was bolted on, it would not pivot upwards towards the motor because the top interal threaded boss sticks out too far and it hits the adusting bracket. Not only will it not rotate inwards, the pulleys do not line up. The alternator pulley sticks out too far out as well. It became obvious that the entire alternator needs to be pushed back.

The Quest alternator housing was removed and the front bolt hole Right X was machined on the back size to be. This will push or sit the alternator futher back towards the center of the motor. A corresponding thick washer was placed on the back side of the alternator Left X so that the housing doesn't crack or crush when tighten with the rear nut on the bolt. Here is the view from the top side to show the alternator sits in its proper place.

The top internal threaded boss now sits behind the adjustment bracket and the alternator pulley is aligned with the water pump and center pulley of the crank. It was too short.
