wall of text warning...
Ive got 2 possible customers here with b122 that are interested
but wont part with their a15 engines yet are be willing to
build them into twin cam setups for themselves.
Japanese are quite pedantic like myself so Im looking at the
neatest most compact setup I can offer to them and myself.
Matt saying he can do it! yet I said the opposite since
Rob showed me he could'nt so I just accept that after
some brainstorming looking at the setup with him.
He is a clever dude even sold his past business to who
is now Les Collins another twin cam datsun hybrid dude.
However its been a while since then and Matt, a 3rd eye
on the subject has convinced me there is another way now.
So now see this common toyota industrial engine waterpump
also used by many cars like Taragos, Estima, Liteace, Townace,
crowns, Dyna, Hiace and Hilux etc. eg. cheap and common
and from a 1.8-2.2L OHV engine similar to the K or A series.
Eliminating a tensioner/idler pulley with this waterpump would
be just amazing and well worth the extra investment for me and
for the local guys here who love analog/carbs/metal etc.
The culture here is surprisingly very anti ecu in the tuning
circles of older datsuns and toyotas.
In your case Reubs were you are going delco (simple cheap and well
community supported) with turbo, e pump +more eg. pizza with the lot
but I have to be closer to my roots and stay with carbs, mechanical
waterpumps, just ignition ecu at most which will be more than my new
and latest dailys sport (Ive sold my last 3 ecu cars recently and
we now have 3 cars that run on carbies with e-ignitions at most yet
Im living in Japan!)
All 3 of the dailies achieve the same economy as the ecu versions
of the following years and everything after it!.
Great thing is these things are low mileage and are considered old
and dated here so win win for me, the obsolete tech freak.
Matt, bring on the inking or branding ideas when you have time :)
