My sugestion of ten grand to run tens, was not nessesarily for a datsun. Iwas thinking more of a V8 with nitros in a light body. Also assuming that you could do all the motor work/engineering yourself. A guy I know had a car that ran 10.6s , and he sold that for less than tenK . Didnt corner like a datto though.

Could runningthewrong plugs causemy motor to run hot ? I discovered today that I have BP6ES plugs , is this a hotter range? Is this a likely reason why my engines been running a bit hot? Arent A engines meant to run BP5ES?

I too plan to run one of theese carbs on anA15 with a mild street cam so Im hoping someone out there in datsun land will have an idea what jets to use.
Ive got one for my supercharged A14 too but that wiil defenately be ajob for the dyno.
Every one of theese I have ever seen have had the original jets, and the plugs have been BLACK.

Here is a formula developed by Chryslers
drag racing program back in the 70s.

( wt\hp)x((mph-100)\400 +1)cube rooted
x5.5 =ET.
This assumes an optimized car and an optimizwd run down the strip. In other words , the shift points,gaering ,engine combination,and drive line components were properly chosen and matched and the car had the perfect amount of tire slip at the start.
Quoted from SA DESIGN How to install and use nitrous oxide injection systems for maximim horsepower.

ps I brought this book prior to seeing The Fast and the Tedious

So depending on how good your algebra is that may be some help

So its ok to tee off the pump at the oil sender port , but should there be a restriction in the return line or do you use a small capillary to prevent too great adrop in oil supply to the rest of the motor. Im not sure how much oil the pressure the oil gallerys in the motor would get with such a substantial bleed off . (But I spose if some of you blokes have done it then it must work).

I am very tempted to fit a tubo to my daily driver 310, (the trouble free reliability is getting boring. Apart from finding an apropriate turbo(cheap), it should be a piece of piss to build. My only query is where do I get the oil feed for the turbo from?.
If I teed off the oil pump would that run the risk of depriving the rest of the engine of precious oil pressure. What about the oil return line?


Any advise/sugestions wiil be greatly apreciated.Thanks in advance

One way to pump/flare your guards is with a peice of pipe . You mearly have to put it under the front guard and gently roll it backwards and forwards while levering down against the guard. It may mean haveing to repaint the guards , but if you are genal enough and take your time it is suprising how nice a job this method can produce. You have to use pipe of at least 2 inch diameter (depending on your tire size). the pipe must also have a decent wall thickness(exust pipe isnt really suitable).
Its very important that you dont allow the end of the pipe to touch the part of the guard your trying to flare , or it will stretch a nasty crease into it(I ruined an otherwise ok guard this way ). I also belive you can get a proper tool for this job that bolts to the wheel ,and has a roller on a leaver to do the same thing (Ive never acually seen one myself). One minus in punping 1200 guards in this way is as the flare gets bigger you lose theline through the middle of the guard.
