I've a buddy who needs a replacement alternator in his NSI EA81 powered Kitfox. The data plate is missing from his, and the owners manual says it's a Nippon Denso 38 amp alternator with a built in voltage regulator. Googling for this particular model has not produced any satisfactory results. Any help will be appreciated.

Suspected that it has a heritage from a Geo Metro of the earlier days. Pretty popular for many homebuilts.
Ask the aeroelectric list.

That is a very ubiquitous alternator, but I believe mine is a 50amp. Try googling the 50amp nippon and see what you get. Also, try a Subaru Brat 84-86 vintage.

Thanks for your response. This should at least point him in the right direction. Interestingly, one place in the owners manual says it's a 38 amp unit, and another place a few pages later describes it as a 50 amp unit.

Have him take it to Kragen or similar auto parts store for a rebuild exchange, and with a life time warranty. Remove the pulley first. Don't tell them its for a plane. Dune buggy works well.

Certainly a nice size, no question about that. The most obvious problem I see is that the alternator and water pump on the Subaru are run by two belts which obviously requires a double pulley, and the shaft on your alternator doesn't stick out far enough to accomodate a double pulley. Thanks anyway.
