Yes, a much better flowing system, minimal lag because of way less pipe length. figured a cooler wasn't needed.. still working out tuning bugs, runs lean under load even though carb tuned to specs.

Hey guys, update on my 1200 build.. Audi A3 turbo blowing through an HIF44 SU Carb. A12 block with A14 head.

SLAM's 1200 Turbo

Anyone know if these drawings are kicking around anywhere?
The link at the beginning of the post is dead.

Hey thanks, I'll keep that in mind!

does anyone have a Solidworks/AutoCAD or equivalent blueprint of a stock a12 intake/exhaust manifold that they have made?

I want to burn one out on the plasma table but I can make one if no-one has one and post it here... just trying to minimize my work :)

In your guys experience what is the best turbo size to use, A/R ratio etc for a stock a14 for a decent street drivable application.. ie, nice power gains at a decent rpm (not too high or too low)

Fun, drivable but lots of power.. Thoughts? Experiences? Applications?.. Let me know.

Is Datsun1200.com still selling merchandise?
I want a sticker for my rear windshield

y does it matter?

thanks guys.. it is boiling and not just the sending unit.. i have a overflow nipple at the top of my rad and it is blowing a lot of steam..
Im thinking of removing the thermostat and plugging the nipple and seeing if that helps.. the cruise starts in 3 hours so i have to work fast...

Hey guys,

Got the 1200 on the road for the first time in over 10 years this week.. Runs pretty good, want to get it tuned up before the car show thats happening in our city this weekend.

How many of you have troubles with the car overheating?
I have a turbo running at about 3psi right now, a modified civic aftermarket aluminum rad with a 10" electric fan.
Haven't seen it run higher than 3/4 yet.
