datzenmike Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 I remember seeing my first 6 second run back in the 60s. It was a double A fueler. 6.98 seconds.... now you can do it with a 'street car'. 1 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 And what gave the 91-98 ka a few extra horse power? Some of the very early KA 12 valves had domed, not dished pistons. It was a very small dome, but the extra compression helped a bit. Quote Link to comment

Lockleaf Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 91-98 have extra hp because they are dual cam 4 valve heads, instead of three valve single cam Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 covered '89-'90 S13 were KA24E (12 valve ) heavy block and crank girdle 225mm clutch '90-'97 D21 were KA24E (12 valve ) 240mm clutch '91-'94 S13 were KA24DE (16 valve) heavy block and crank girdle 225mm clutch '95-'98 S14 were KA24DE (16 valve) heavy block and crank girdle 225mm clutch '98 and up D21 were KA24DE (16 valve) heavy block 240mm clutch The DE makes maybe 10 HP more than the E, probably the better breathing 4 valves per cylinder. Ten hp isn't near enough reason to run it over the other. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 That extra valve is worth 2.5hp a piece. Imagine what you could do with a couple hundred dollars on head porting to the KA-E. Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 You should also consider a quickly swappable exhaust, suspension, dash (heavy), and lexan windows. Cause weekend racecar. By the way. Those were all bad ideas. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Hey guys. With my engine build finally done im looking for a new fun project. I want to build a high HP engine that i can drop into my 510 from time to time to have some fun. (i know it doesn't sound practical but i just want to have my same engine in the car when driving the street and have a more powerful engine when going to the track). Unrealistic. This isn't an underwear change. VGs and KAs need EFI wiring and fuel pumps and their own rads, MMs and cross member, their own transmissions/ trans mounts/ driveshaft. You will need some kind of quick change exhaust down pipe too. If you get the urge to go for a drive on Sunday you'd better start the swap Wednesday. 2 Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Just build a street legal badass that's auto X capable and call it a day, my L20b pulls my 1850lb dime as if it wasn't even there, it's all stock with a 48mm mikuni single side draft, you don't need all that much power if you keep your car under 2K lbs. 3 Quote Link to comment
datson4life Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Ive witness l20b's in 510s spank hondas, thats all i would need to be satisfied, but nope, 510 owners always fighting for more power lol, i think over 300hp is useless in any datsun 3 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 200 to 250 is perfect for a lightweight, short wheelbase car like a 510. I met a guy at Thunderhill once who had a turbo poking out of the hood of his 510, he said he had 450hp and it was just not fun to drive. Back to Andres: don't beat your head against the wall. If you want to avoid emissions, get an older car. 3 Quote Link to comment
Mr.Dean_Yates Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 About those. I got rear ended and it broke my seat so i needed new one. Since I had the money at the time and I'm always driving in the hills figured it would be good to put a harness. A harness in my buddies dime saved his life when we decided to slide a corner and wrap his car around a tree. He hit dead on driver side door and was air born when he hit, the roof line pinched in and created a sharp point, which grazed the top of his head. Had the harness not been there, he probably would have obliterated his head on that thing and blasted it open on the tree. Most he got was a scrape on the top of his head and whiplash. I'm a believer of harnesses if your gonna be pushing your car to its limits. 1 Quote Link to comment

Datsloco Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Andres friendly advice just stick with what you have and call it a day. You don't want to start something you might not be able to finish and end up with a parts car. Just saying 5 Quote Link to comment
