Hay Datsun guys, just wanted to share my build with you. It's not a datsun, but it is a Nissan carb'd KA24de swapped corolla. I thought you may be interested in seeing a carb'd KAde.
The car pulls HARD. It's not bug free yet, but I have been driving it for a month. The carbs connect to the manifold with simple couplers and clamps. They need to be better secured though, so I am going to make a simple aluminum bracket when I get around to it.
I have plenty of pics and information. You can post up here if you want to know any specific information.
The basics though is the motor is running off RX1 sidedraft CV carbs. I drilled out the main jets to 2.0mm, and will eventually drill out the pilot jet. Though for now it is fine. We havent made a manifold yet, but rather modified the stock manifold. Similar to the ITB write up. I used an amalgamation of OEM throttle cable bits and a bicycle brake cable to make up the throttle. The car uses a yamaha R1 inline fuel pump, and I plugged the 1-3 injector holes with 30mm freeze plugs. In hole 4 I JB'd a cut piece of AC piping and use it for the brake booster. The motor runs off the stock ECU and Ignition system. Though my friend had to wire it up since the motor did come with an upper harness. Also note that it is NOT turbo, but rather uses a turbo bottom mount manifold with a downpipe to clear the steering. Anyhow I will post up some pics.
Also I needed to install an aftermarket water temp gauge, but didnt want to use an overpriced in-line hose adapter. So I made my own adapter to go into the stock temp sensor location on the head by re-threading a 1/4"NPT to 1/8"NPT adapter to be a M12X1.25 to 1/8"NPT adapter. The adapter cost $1.50.
Let me know what you think. And post up any questions, I'll keep you guys upto date with my build.
Some more car pics....
