82sunny Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 ive got an a15 and i was wanting to build the hell out of it but i wasnt sure if the A15 was the best A series motor to have. but i just want to know what people do when they want to build their A series motor. thanks Quote Link to comment
Braden Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 5-10 horsepower, and thats turbocharged with 115 vp fuel 1 Quote Link to comment
82sunny Posted November 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 so this might sound stupid, but i dont really know. but i guess its not really possible to get 140-170hp Quote Link to comment
82sunny Posted November 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 5-10 horsepower, and thats turbocharged with 115 vp fuel oh so thats the difference between the motors? Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 The A15 is the best of the A series and can be built to make tons of power, but it's very expensive. Big bore, cam, turbo, etc. Quote Link to comment
82sunny Posted November 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 oh, i thought the earlier A series motors were better? but how much are talking? i know the intake and the dual side draft webbers are going to run me about 1500.00 last time i checked Quote Link to comment
Braden Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 i was kidding about the 5-10 horsepower, stick with an l20, por the head (peanut) throw a cam in it, some big carbs and call it good!!! oh yeah and dont forget a matchbox to get all that fuel burning!!! Quote Link to comment
82sunny Posted November 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 so just go with an L series instead? Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 so just go with an L series instead? Yeah! no doubt. From my understanding, an L20 into a 210 is as simple as getting the engine, matching 5 speed, and a driveshaft from a 210 with auto tranny and it's a simple swap. I was gonna do it with my 210 but have yet to get an L20 down here in the south. Quote Link to comment
82sunny Posted November 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 does the driveshaft i already have in my 210 fit with an L20? Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 does the driveshaft i already have in my 210 fit with an L20? If it's an auto, yes (from what I was told. Idk 100%) if manual, it will have to be modified. Which is inexpensive. Quote Link to comment
82sunny Posted November 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 yea theres a place not far from me thatll make custom driveshaftsfor around 300 Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 yea theres a place not far from me thatll make custom driveshaftsfor around 300 HOLYSHIT thats expensive. I know people that have had a driveshaft modified for about $60. Any performance shop can do it. Quote Link to comment
nismo dr Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 HOLYSHIT thats expensive. I know people that have had a driveshaft modified for about $60. Any performance shop can do it. true dat Quote Link to comment
82sunny Posted November 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 dam. ? i feel stupid now. that the only place that does it to Quote Link to comment
b210in Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 if your goal is uniqueness, then a turbo a series would be cool. it going to cost you a lot to get to 15ohp, but anything is doable. if you just want an upgrade and better all around daily driver performance with full reliability, an l20b or ka swap would be way better than what you have now. i went from an a13 to ca18det. the car is a blast to drive now and can lay the smack down on most modern imports.

Mini-L320 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Better of doing an engine swap. 150-170 HP is a Full Blown Race engine for an A-series. Save the cash and do either: KA24DE(T) Sr20DE(T) or CA18DET. By Next Summer SR20DET in my 210 :D. Quote Link to comment
Mini-L320 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Hey 82Sunny wanna buy my Garrett GT1752 Turbocharger? Its great little turbo for an A-series. I was gonna make it work for my 210 but like I said by summer SR swap and I dont wanna waste time fabricating. $140 for Turbo. Minimal Shaft Play. Quote Link to comment

82sunny Posted December 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 you can always do what im doing. a camed and carb'd ka24de thats the shit! do you have pics? Quote Link to comment
Driftastic210 Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 no pics still sourcing parts. but the a15 im running right now is in superb condition so im going to do a few things to it for now while i build the ka i got from the bottom up. Quote Link to comment
Mini-L320 Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 so I've heard on Datsun1200.com the most HP from an A15 was 300HP with turbo and Fuel Injected. Quote Link to comment
ktm Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 HOLYSHIT thats expensive. I know people that have had a driveshaft modified for about $60. Any performance shop can do it. Modified is not the same as a new driveshaft. I am not saying that a new driveshaft is better, but simply that the $300 cost is for a new driveshaft. Quote Link to comment
