gBaeza Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 hello guys , can we apply all the replays from this post to a J series engine? Quote Link to comment
afracer Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 You want 150 horsepower and driveability in an A series then turbo it. If you have a rhd Sunny I've got a turbo kit for it I'll sell you as it doesn't fit my LHD B310. Its the only way to get those two things together from an A series! Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 gBaeza.... the J series only has three main bearings. The A series have FIVE and could support a battleship on them. I would be reluctant to build too much power into it. . 1 Quote Link to comment
suhmon_sun Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 what kinda spark plugs would you guys recommend? I am thinking about these ones. https://www.amazon.com/NGK-BPR6EIX-Iridium-Spark-Plug/dp/B000UK1Y00/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 not sure though cause they are $10 each Quote Link to comment
Tom1200 Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 I've been using the NGK Iridium plugs for a while, I find a difference between those and the standard NGK plugs but I couldn't say how they are on the street. Tom Quote Link to comment
scooter Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 Where's Roger from Kelowna... he has a datsun1200 that's insane.. I bet it's making close to 150 hp. It depends what you wanna deal with. I think my car is perfectly streetable despite its racy setup. Sure my car won't run on pump gas, but I decided that was an acceptable sacrifice. If it's your daily and you have no alternate wheels, heed the warning of the guys here. If this cars more for kicks... then go for the 10000rpm fire breathing monster.. It's your car. Build it how you want it. Fuck the haters. As for plugs, I've been running ngk v power race plugs as they are cheap as hell. The downside is the 11 heat range plugs foul fast if your just putting around town and not blasting away on a 100 shot. Of course they make hotter ones though. Quote Link to comment
Tom1200 Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 @scooter I fail to see the logic here; If it's my car I can build it however I wish but only if I have intercourse with at least 2 haters (haters is plural implying a minimum of 2) or do I have to have sex with all the haters (haters also implies a complete sub set of people)?? The latter seems like an awful lot of work and I've only got one tube of wheel bearing grease left. For the record I'm using BPR7's (stock is 5) in the A15 as the motor fairly mild as race motors go.

Stoffregen Motorsports Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 He said intercourse... Some conditions don't agree with projected tip spark plugs. In the L street motors, a projected tip plug caused them to detonate (ping). I always used B6ES plugs in my long rod 2200 in my 510, and in just about every other 510 I ever owned. - "Quite often, a factory type, wide-gap projected plug will produce a misfire condition. The misfire is not due to the heat range. The misfire occurs because the ground strap of the spark plug becomes a glowing ember because it is too long to dissipate the extra heat." Resistor plugs may not be the right choice either. - https://www.ngksparkplugs.com/about-ngk/faqs/spark-plug-faqs/when-should-i-use-a-resistor-spark-plug How can you tell which is which? P = projected tip, R = resistor. Quote Link to comment
