Rustina 510 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 So. Tired of the l20 again. Got this from Adam. On his b-day... Thx Adam and happy b-day I was told she has a bad rod, but I'm rebuilding from scratch using all forged and high performance parts And this A whipple twin screw supercharger, running a adjustable 8-15 lbs of constant boosties with no spool time, no extra tubing, no need for a inner cooler because they don't get hot, and I love the way a supercharged 4 banger sounds. And possibly I might try this new electric bypass intake tube I have been reading about, so I can turn te supercharger on and off when I feel like it. I'm not a motor guy and I will need some help, I'm also lookin for a rear sump single cam oil pan so I won't have to flip the x member, and I'm wondering what solid rear axle I should use, I can't afford the fab price for Independant rear suspension Finished upgrading the brakes and front suspension already, so I think I'm nicely prepped for this next step on the wagoon Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 I'm also lookin for a rear sump single cam oil pan so I won't have to flip the x member youl have to make one. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 What's wrong with the rear end already in your Datsun? 510 wagon has the tough H190 setup, or is this going into something else? Quote Link to comment
Rustina 510 Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 No, just figured it would be smart to replace a rear end that has endured 3 diff motors and is 40+ years old Quote Link to comment
Rustina 510 Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 youl have to make one. I heard ice house might fab them? Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 there not that hard if you have a good welder and a big of creativity. I was making one for mine. Quote Link to comment
Rustina 510 Posted November 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Took the intake off and the oil pan, cylinder 2 rod cap is busted, came off and wedged between the crank and the block. The bearing is half ripped off also, looks like a lot of work ahead Quote Link to comment

I'm BLUE Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Neat ! Will lurk this often .. hehe Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Me too! I could be going down this road pretty soon. Hopefully not though. My motors is said to be good, but I've yet to test it. Loving this thread though!! Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 there use to be a guy that maid a plate to mount a eaton to the stock runners but i cant remember the name of the company Quote Link to comment
Rustina 510 Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 I won't be using a eaton supercharger, they lack the boost numbers I'm aiming for. Whipple makes a little twin screw sc that has some great boost numbers. Quote Link to comment
Outlaw720 Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Pretty Stoked to see where this goes. Quote Link to comment
DRIVEN Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 I won't be using a eaton supercharger, they lack the boost numbers I'm aiming for. Whipple makes a little twin screw sc that has some great boost numbers. Pulleys, man. Pulleys. Eatons are cheap and plentiful. A Whipple will probably cost more than the car's worth.

Rustina 510 Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Well I found a good one for 639$ I think my car is worth just a little bit more than that at this point. Thx for all the positive feed back guys and gals Hoping to tear out rods and crank tonight Quote Link to comment
DRIVEN Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 :console: I meant no offense. I just can't remember seeing one for less than $2K so $639 sounds like a deal. I'll be watching this project. Are you planning to run N/A first for a while or just go straight to the supercharger? Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Was looking for a gasket kit for my KA-e, found a Victor Reinz Part # 95-3241VR to be the best one so far. Ebay has it for $115 shipped. Do you have one picked out? I'm looking for options. Rockauto has a DJN for $80+ shipping.. Not sure I'd trust that kit though. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment
Rustina 510 Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Straight sc application build. I was looking at the victor kit, not to bad, I'll be using cp pistons for sure, looking into rod options and a cam for the head as well. This is the biggest technical project I have attempted so far so I don't want to cut any corners Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Yeah, I hear ya. Illest has some KA-e rods and pistons for sale. Are you going oversize or stock? Quote Link to comment
Rustina 510 Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 I'm not sure if I need to bore it out. I'm thinking stock size pistons but the cp forged pistons Quote Link to comment
spudly13 Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 That motor looks familiar! ;) Sounds like a sweet build though ill be keeping my eye on it! Quote Link to comment
Rustina 510 Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Yeah spud it's the motor you sold Adam, I finally got my hands on it and I'm almost done with the tear down, have some parts on order, not much yet, focusing on getting the block back to perfect shape, then getting the head port, polished and a new cam in their, then all new internals for the block. I still can't get the crank to turn due to the cylinder 2 rod cap lodged between the crank and the block, so removing the crank is top priority tonight. I'll be sure to keep up on my poor quality pics as well. Quote Link to comment
spudly13 Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Yeah when it broke in the 69 i pulled it out and pulled the pan, saw that big mess in there and for the sake of my time and money just found another used motor, but if your replacing all the parts anyway you should be good to go!
