1980 Datsun 510(A10) Wagon Build, KA Swap (Questions,How to)

[Lockleaf]

Blow through z24 turbo or FI swap then turbo?

 

S13.5 or S14.5?

 

I have tried a couple times to get a z22 FI manifold to run with KA-E electronics for my 720 or z22 powered 510.  Always failed though.

 

I also have an S13, 1990, with stock motor.  So I'm just curious 😁

FI Swap with a T3 Turbo, We bought a Microsquirt to run the motor. We picked up a Z24i Dizzy and coil packs to go either direction with the build. 

S13.5 Fastback, Guy i picked bought the car from was planning on doing the swap, had mostly everything to do the swap.

Cool.  I have a fastback as well.  Silvia front clip, triple projectors w/ big letter grill.  Z32 tt brakes and a 5 lug swap i haven't finished installing.  Otherwise mine is stock.

Hey, So little further down the road with the build! I did a complete overhaul of the rear axle. All new bearings and checked everything to spec. Glad to have it back on the ground and rolling. I purchased a carpet extractor and going to use that to clean the factory seats. I scored two rugs at the store and making my own carpet.  Still need to freshen up the front end and do the exhaust. Good tune up and ready to hit the street! Always a step forward.

Wow! Its been awhile! Yes, I still am working on the wagon! Its getting closer and closer. I wish I had more free time. Still need to build my exhaust. 

I wrapped up rebuilding the front end suspension. A lot of degreasing, wire wheeling and cleaning went into it. Came out really nice! 

I also fixed up a few things in the interior and got it all put back together. Small little punch list stuff goes along way and feels good when completed. 

I've been busy with working on a Clients 72 F100, pretty decent workload project. It will be sweet when its all said and done!

 

If your looking for bushings and strut mounts. Little bit of research i found some stuff that will work .

Datsun B310 Sunny Strut Mounts work for the A10 Strut. 
Super Pro Control Arm Bushing: SPF1008K. Need to contact them and see what they have for the rear. 

 

Anyways, Here is some update pictures.
