85720Bullet Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Hey Guys Still here wanted to update you on my new project and build: Donor - 79 Datsun B210 ( have title) Here are a few shots of how it sits. Its being shipped from Cali to GA. Plans: SR20DE Side Draft Carb Welded or LSD rear end. Nice 13-16 inch wheels Repaint Full Interior 210 Arrives 1 Quote Link to comment
4thgearcruisen Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 First off. Thats a 210. Not a b210 Secondly. A ka will almost bolt right in. Its 4 link already. And you shouldnt put a crappy motor like a vg anything in it. To heavy, and too little power. Sr tubo would be cheaper, easier, and put out more power, and be more reliable. Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Sorry to say this, but it is his car so why bash his choice? Nice car and I look forward to following your progress. I have mulled over trying to stuff a VG30DE into my B210 but I'm not sold on it. As far as the weight thing, yea, it is heavier, but so is a KA, L, SR, ect. Most swaps will be heavier unless you go the aussie route with the G16 and vitara trans. I'm not sure but is the VG33E as light as the VG30DE? If so they are a very light V6. An L series with 5 speed, stock manifolds ect will weight only ~100 less than a VG30 swap using headers (you will most likely need headers to clear everything). The VG series sits farther back in the engine bay allowing for better weight distribution and you can relocate the battery to get more off the front. All that said, good luck 85720Bullet. You have a lot of work ahead of you. Quote Link to comment
85720Bullet Posted October 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 On to the info: I have been through the process of building 240sx and Skylines so I am not interested in a SR20DET or a RB20 or 25 DET I need something that no one has done.. VG33DE is a great engine with good applicaitons. Its a smaller in size V6 and will fit in the engine bay with little modification. It produces a good amount of hp and especially torque is what we are really interestsed in. I can run this stock engine with Custom intake and header and smoke the tires any day of the week but I need to add a bit more POWA.. So comes the Turbo. Stock specs on VG33E Horsepower(SAE net@rpm) 125 kW (168 hp) @ 4800 rpm Torque (lb. ft. @ rpm) 266 N·m (196 lb·ft) @ 2800 rpm Please see video as this is what I am shooting for: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=rdurVFuU61U 368 WHP and 461 WTQ is what this build made on first pull. Specifics on what will be used to get to my HP and TRQ goal. New Precision 6262 Fuel Tech EMS Injectors not sure of CC yet Custom Intake Manifold built by Toyota1515 Other supporting mods Josh Quote Link to comment
85720Bullet Posted November 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Changed build up of car. I had a Full 3TC engine fall in my lap so its 3tc from here on out.. I will refresh the engine and probably use side draft carbs to get me roughly 200 to the wheels and that shoudl be plenty. I will have my fabricator make some coilovers and then a custom exhaust.. Plans may change again... Josh Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 3TC swapped into Datsun is a good choice. Seen it done many times, they are a tough engine. Nice coupe. I especially like the original '210' dealer stripe kit. Rarely seen. The first year for the 210 was the best looking. Quote Link to comment
85720Bullet Posted November 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Thanks ggzilla much apprecaited. Quote Link to comment
Bentaxlebob Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Very nice 210. One of my all time favorites. You got to check out the japanese fan base for these cars. In sports trim (lowered, sports suspension, race like stance) looks great. The TC motor is unique and in tu e with the vehicle weight, nice ! Quote Link to comment
'70dime Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Whats goin on boss? I used to live in Kennesaw. looks like you're making some good progress. Who is your fabricator? Quote Link to comment

Future plans: Stage 3 BC Cams BC Valve Springs BC Stainless Valve kit Scat H beam Rods SR16VE Pistons for 11.5.1 Comp Tomei Rev Kit Josh Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Oh no not another SR20 powered 210 ... why not do something no one has done before? Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 why not do something no one has done before? Because that isn't physically possible? :rofl: Quote Link to comment
85720Bullet Posted November 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 LMAO - well theres not many N/A Sr20 210 running around so it will be unique for sure. Quote Link to comment
toyota1515 Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Hi guys Newbie here, sup Josh miss me in this forum? I always love this model of Datsun as that was the first car Brand / Model i buy ever and they got a special space in my heart, since then i have never owned another 210 79 - 82 model and want another one really bad, i got couple of my own projects going on and couple more from customers, but there is always a little space for another one, this one right here is inline after like 3 projects that are in front of it, Anyway who knows how things move, by the way i also got lots of experience with the A15 Engine and in turbo trim i have seen them over 400 WHP so is all about the tastes, i like the easy achievable power oof the SR20 in N/A configuration i guess 180 to 200 is a easy reach without breaking the bank so lets see!

CharlieBucket Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Cool project! I have always wanted to do a big swap on my b210 but due to funds being short, I never have. I always got distracted by other cars. Is your car a A15? Good shape? I might be interested if the price is right. Let me know. Quote Link to comment
toyota1515 Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Oh my neighbor, i am first on the line if this end up in the marked buddy, by the way do you still have your B210? is it for sale let me know, Quote Link to comment
