Kirden Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 And it's much easier to turbocharge. :cool: ^ you called it dead on with that one. I've been looking at the Z series or SOHC KA to use the turbo from my old civic build, and the Z seems like a better choice for such a small snail (built for a 1.6L) You guys read my mind, it's scary :devil: EDIT: I've even thought about going with the Mazda B6 engine (1.6L) but that seems like too much wiring and headache :P Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted April 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 I've even thought about going with the Mazda B6 engine (1.6L) but that seems like too much wiring and headache :P The Z20E/Z22E wiring is pretty simple. There's only 7 wires to connect to the car. Might also research Z18ET if you haven't already. Destroked turbo version of that engine sold in other markets. 1 Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 That Z18ET looks very interesting! Thanks for the info on it. Sadly that engine seems pretty rare. I can't even find a lead through the JDM importers I've used before, but they are mostly Honda guys :poop: Can't wait to see more progress on the builds. It looks like Tim will be on the road before you get your 1200 out of the garage :poke: Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 I've seen a Z18ET in USA. It was 30 years ago ... The KA has one HUGE advantage over the L or Z: * multi-valve head. It flows better which means less heat under boost thus more power. Quote Link to comment

Zip ties are THE greatest technological innovation we reverse engineered from the Roswell UFO crash! But you didn't hear that from ME! 4 Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 The holy grail (for A10 owners), a Datsun Competition 7qt oil pan. B) Set up for either dry sump or wet sump... 2 Quote Link to comment
KiloTango1200 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Is that one from Peter Zekert, or your own design? Looking at one like that myself. Quote Link to comment
dimlight65 Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Set up for either dry sump or wet sump... No, that pan won't work for dry sump. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted April 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 No, that pan won't work for dry sump. I'm thinking maybe what he meant was "external oil pump" not necessarily dry sump... :rofl: Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted April 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Is that one from Peter Zekert, or your own design? Looking at one like that myself. I think all of Peter's stuff is for A-series? And not our design, it was originally sold through Datsun Competition/Nissan Motorsports. It's from the late 70s/early 80s. They were used on the A10 race cars with L-series engines. 2 Quote Link to comment
