Quest Alternator Conversion to SR20 - Finally a bolt on kit!
This has long been a sticking point for SR20 guys....nothing worked, and anything/everything required welding and modification for it to work - the wait is over! I got frustrated with no one making this kit so I took it into my own hands instead.
My kit utilizes the factory bracket setup, and resides in the exact same place as the OEM alternator. Wiring is exactly the same, and the only modification required is re-drilling the lowest holes out to a 3/8” size, to accept the factory SR20 bolts. Aside from that small modification, the rest of the process is direct replacement, 30 minutes maximum time, using only hand tools.

All hardware is stainless or corrosion free as well. No ganky stuff here!
The kit is also offered with and with a belt; as it sits, the kit utilizes the OEM belt, so if your current belt is in good shape, or if you have aftermarket pullies, you will not need to purchase the kit with a belt. If you do need a belt however, I can provide one at cost.
Pricing:
Price without belt: 55 dollars shipped/paypalled
Price with belt: 69 shipped/paypalled
Alternator wise, my kit accepts either the 110 or the 125 amp kit from any 1996 to 2001 Nissan Quest (or Mercury Villager). These can be found for as low as 50 to 60 shipped on Ebay, to 110-150 dollars re-manned at part stores or on ebay. 110 amp units were used up to 1999, with late 99 to 01 being 125 amp.
EMAIL Me for best response, (codyace AT gmail DOT com) or PM ME FOR PAYMENT INFORMATION (codyace AT gmail DOT com)
Thank you, and I hope to help you all out soon!

This is amazing. Great ingenuity. Does the sr belt work with the quest pulley? and how long will you be selling these?
EDIT: Never mind just reread your post.

Thanks Boost Fiend! As in the post, my kits will work with the stock belt, or I include a new one if you want a new one.
Atop of that, these kits can utilize aftermarket SR pullies as well!

Hey cody, when upgrading to this alternator, would I need to switch out my 75amp fuse with a 110/125amp fuse?

Yes you can. If you are going to use the pulley, you'll want to order the kit without a belt, and then reuse your current one with the kit.

Thanks for the good words brother!

You do not need to change that, as that's on the backfed side of the system.

I kick myself for loosing the contact information, but I did have one member who adapted it to his RB and I for the LIFE of me can't remember how he did it, or what he did (I accidentally cleared my PM box without saving them). I could probably sort something out, but without having an RB car around it would be hard for me to test it.

Is this the same kit for the KA24DE?
I went through some of your threads and couldnt find it. If the KA kit is different, how much are you asking for that kit?

Thanks Cody! This is a pretty cool little kit and was one of the last pieces I wanted for the motor before I put it on the road.
The RB25 I had in the last car had issues keeping up with the e-fans, headlights, and very basic stereo resulting in very dim lights driving at night. This should make it a non-issue in this car.

He'll get to you, he stays busy just give it a day or two. You can also contact through his website....that way its email instead of pm which he may not get if he doesn't log in too often.

I know when I got mine took a couple days to get back to me but once I ordered came in about 2 days later.

He's staying away from Zilvia probably because some idiot is PMing him a bunch of bullshit try messaging his site or contacting him via facebook.

Don't have Facebook, but I will try his website. Thanks guys.

I ended up having to order materials from McMaster-Carr and made my own. If you have any questions and/or need a parts list, let me know.
Edit... People keep asking me for the parts list.. I will say this, the parts I used I actually hand picked to make it a little bit stronger than the one you would've gotten from Cody. It costed me more, but it is super peace of mind. You can make it even stronger than the parts I bought, but it's going to cost you... If, however, you want the bare basic components to just make it work you'd have to just search their website a little bit.
Here is the list:
Easy-Adjust Threaded Connecting Rod 2" Overall Length, 3/8"-24 Threaded Female Ends
8419K13
Grade 5 Steel Thin Hex Nut
Zinc Plated, 3/8"-24 Thread Size, 9/16" Wide, 7/32" High
94846A515
Grade 5 Steel Left-Hand Threaded Thin Hex Nut Zinc-Plated, 3/8"-24 Thread Size, 9/16" Wide, 7/32" High
99612A119
High-Strength PTFE-Lined Ball Joint Rod End 3/8"-24 RH Male Shank, 3/8" Ball ID, 1-1/4" Long Thread
