datzenmike Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 The A87 closed head will up the compression from 8.4 to 8.9 or about 1/2 a point. Generally a one point jump will gain 4 to 6% increase under optimal conditions. As the L20B makes about 93 RWHP on a good day, half a point would be under 3 hp, hardly noticeable. Compression increases are highly over rated for a street motor and bring up more problems than they are worth doing. The stock U67 L20B head will have larger better breathing intake ports and should be mated to a large port '78 or newer intake. Quote Link to comment
CaptunRatsun Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 I Heard that changing the crank and pistons and cam you could increase quit a bit but what cams crank and pistons work best, also i have an l16 Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 i just want to be able to make my car slide Mine slides good when its raining. it cost alot of money to make a L motor go fast. If you got a good running car just call it good. Buy a beat mustang to slide around. Not many nice 510s left with all the kids killing them off. Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 If you want it to slide, all you need is a stock L16. Fit stretched tires and go at it. The skinny tires will slide if you put your foot down. Quote Link to comment
TENDRIL Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 i am not looking for anything crazy i just want to be able to make my car slide you are in Canada, find some snow. and when you do wreck from sliding, dont post oics here and ask how to fix it... 1 Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Back in the day, skateboard wheels were ceramic. Those things slid like mad. You could get some ceramic wheels. I got them new rubbery ones to help prevent sliding. Not really hatin. It's your car, have fun. But this forum will likely not garner much support for a drift car. I've watched several of these posts now from others. Basically drift cars have life expectancies of Meth addicts. And we kinda love our Datsuns. That plus the absence of a 510 re-pop machine means drifting is not an approved use of a classic. Buuuuut, if your car is pretty beat up already, that helps. Thus pics! Keep your head on the engine. Rebuild the peanut outside the car while you drive her. Put the new head on later when the rest of the car is ready. That's my vote. Quote Link to comment

No worries man i was just batting around the idea nothing it set in stone as of yet . i might just use her as a daily once the l20 is in. how do i upload pics Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 The L20B will side more than an L16. But seriously drive your car. Learn how much fun not 'sliding' is. These cars corner like a snake on sand paper 40 years ago. Just imagine how far the cheapest tire today will improve on that! I warn you, great handling is very addictive. There's nothing like hard cornering G force. Then lower it, stiffen the suspension, better tires. Pretty soon you will want to think about a 280zx strut swap to get the larger caliper brakes and vented rotors so you can stop... then you'll want... Quote Link to comment
