What is occouring everyone?
My father informed me today he may be intrested in turbocharging his 120Y It currently is a fresh a14 (rebuilt 2 years ago) motor in what would more then likly and quite sadly be the best kept original 120y in the country and has lepard skin seat covers (ex mums car)
We already have the turbo its an old mitsubishi cordia item we found lieing around and we also have an old webber carbie we intend to use as a suck through setup (i will mention we just want to have a look so we can learn about it also i will mention we want to build this from what is readily avialable and most of all cheap also dads currently converting the studebaker to fuel injection so once he figures that out well more then likly try some on the datsun). The chances are good well have to convert it back to manual (its auto atm) mostly because 1st gear in the old datsuns are vacume operated Well also have to drop the compression the only thing im having trouble convincing the old man to do is uprate the old cast pistons hes sure theyll last at 4-6lbs of boost he intentds to run them at (rods and cranks fine at that point their forged and very over enginerred in the A series motors)
While we are in the planning stage im mostly having a shoutout for an intercooler any kind will do well figure out a way of making it fit :P
And lastly why is this in australian cars? yeah sure its a jap car but its being built very australian we bodgying it up for reasonbly cheap Itll work its the learning curve thats a killer here also im hoping thisll grab charged attention as hes pretty well versed at this
