E15, E15ET (turbo) or E16 OHC, crossflow engines is an interseting engine swap These are plentiful in mid-80s Pulsars and Sentras, are similar to the A15 and have plenty of go-fast parts available. The E-series was a re-design of the A-series engine with the same bore spacing and other critical measurements, but tailored for front-wheel drive installation. A-series transmissions do bolt to the block but the starter location is different. Some question whether a stock E15 has any real advantage over an A15, but there is no question that the E15ET is a superior design.
Swap Notes
- Distributor is in back of engine, which will the Datsun 1200 firewall. Remove and use a crank-trigger system like EDIS.
- Starter?
- Transmission bolts up and matches the locating dowls, although two holes on each side don't match. Use a modified A-series engine plate.

E15ET
Turbo Power! Right from the factory. Some question whether a stock E15 has any real advantage over an A15, but there is no question that the E15ET is a superior design. The cylinder head flows more than other E-series engines.
For this to fit the engine mounting brackets have to be made up, A custom turbo manifold, oil cooler has to be cut in half then blocked up and bypassed to allow for the starter motor, ring gear has to be change to the A series one, engine backing plate has to be grinded/cut a little to also allow for the starter motor, non turbo rocker cover has to be used for height issues (not sure about 1200's) and you have to use a 60 series clutch bearing and carrier unless you are already using a 60 series gearbox and the dizzy will poke through the firewall. factory ecu is very easy to wire up using a ET Pulsar wiring loom.
