yes, the E15 dizzy bolts onto the 1200 with minor mods. actually, i think it's in the technical section on this website...? pays to check i guess.

i always rebuild my engnies if you're chasing double the power. i mean, you can turbo or nitrous a 100,000klm old engine and get away with it, because you'll still have 60-100thou left in it. if you're trying to do this to a history unknown engine, then why risk it? seriously, a weekend and $400 later you have a resealed and re-bearinged A series engine. you may need machining, you may not. but a simple check is all you need.

hiding behind your keyboard again, phunkdoktaspok ?

where did i say a NOS engine has to built better than a turbo engine? are you dyslexic? they have to be built the same, after all, it IS a form of forced indution - and anything else that introduces extra oxygen into the chamber is exactly that.

extra oxygen = bigger bang
bigger bang = more stress
more stress = little bits of engine in sump.

WE know NOS reduces emissions, but the EPA haven't tested this fuel - and hence is illegal for street use. you can cop the same fine for running diesel in your corolla. i don't make the rules, i don't enforce the rules. i'm just stating what i've been told.

and who gives a #### why they're interested...? the fine is there, that's all the deterrant i need.

and i missed the south africa bit. sorry.

E15 distrubutors can be made to fit the a series engine, as to can an e15t distributor. But the e15t distributor is without any form of mechanical advance, so it is only good for full adjustable electronic ignition.

Well just like everyone here I am behind a keyboard so that I can type this. So if thats hiding I guess I am Guilty. How are you doing it? are you special?

Well yes I am Dyslexic and I also have Bipolar, by your asking this question to try and mock me, do you feel I should be ashamed in anyway? after all you are special and can type everything without being behind a computer.
So sorry I have no excuse for your question.
But now I look though more carefully and wonder what you mean. Firstly you say a turbo engine needs to be rebuilt with all this extra stuff done to it. And now you say a simple $400 rebuild will do. If all that extra stuff is included for $400 I would love to get your machinest number.
As for the EPA I dont really want to know what you have been told or if you care, like I said;Quote:
Are you a spokesman for the EPA?

i don't believe we have a spokeperson on here from the EPA. and i already gave you the answer as to why they are interested.

as for the rebuild, i gave him a nice combo for a powerful but still relatively mild, and inexpensive, engine build.

you can still turbo a stock A14, just a good idea to rebuild it with new rings and bearings before you do. common sense, not rocket science.

if it needs machining then it's extra over the rings and bearings. maybe that was a little unclear, my bad. but if it's in good condition and 'only' 100thou old then you should be fine.

and you know what i incinuated when i said you were hiding behind your keyboard, so don't play literal idiot games with me.

Nicholas, you absolutely do not need to rebuild the engine or build it stronger for a Nitrous installation. I reckon if you keep the NO output to 40% power gain or less the stock engine should handle it fine ... btw that's only a 25hp system.

Once again I never asked you a thing about the EPA. I said I would love to hear why they would think this way, not you or anything you heard from someones uncles brothers friend, as they say in court thats heresay. But yet you still seem to think I am interested in your response.

As for your mild rebuild making it a more powerful setup, none of that would ever make it more powerful. The only thing that stuff will do is make the engine able to withstand more abuse from a poorly tuned setup , which will only make it last abit longer, not forever. Plus it will cost more money.

I am not a mind reader, so I still dont know what dribble you meant buy that statement. My question to you is how can I be hiding? If I was hiding in anyway, why would I have put up a post makeing a statement, also remember that each post that anybody makes has their name linked to it, so once again how can I be hiding?

Waiting for you reply, Steve.

I dont want n.o.s! i'm looking to turbo my A-14 and was trying to find relative infomation on doing it.

see the joys with my buggy is i can bolt anything in the back from a 1000cc engine to a hemi if i really wanted to

i was maybe even thinking of fitting a toyota 4agez motor, that comes from the factory with a superchargher
i just realized the nissan langly is already turboed

Stay with the A!!! All you have to do is turn an old set of flows into a turbo manifold, stick a side draft SU type carb off some pommy sh1tbox on the intake . And run a hose from the blow side of the turbo into the carb hole on the intake manifold. Use the heater hose tails on the motor for the water cooling. And tee into the oil pump at the oil presure sender switch. It doesn't have to look pretty to work well. Standard copreesoin will be fine for stock type boosts, but the use of a head saver shim underneath the head is recommended if you plan to run big boost.
Depending on how much you pay for a turbo, and how much of the work you can do yourself, it should cost about the same as a pair of 45mm side drafts or less.
I plan to build one of these myself after my superchaged car is finished.

look it up on their website smartarse.
it's there for all to see.
like i said for the now third time, the fuel hasn't been tested by the EPA therefore is illegal. it has an 'unknown' effect on the environment and exhaust emissions. i couldn't give a flying fu(k if you're interested in my response or not.

talk to your local dept of transport if you have anymore queries. i'm sick of having to reply to, and clarify, your useless dribble. and i'm sure everyone else that has any kind of opposing view to you is as well.

turbocharging the A14 is a hoot. seriously, the WRX turbo is the one to use. if you want even more low down response, you could always fit a 'reducer' before the exhaust housing - a conical shaped piece that speeds up gas flow making it 'hit' the exhaust wheel harder.

turbo'd A series hang together well on most std parts, but as a minimum i'd say fit new rings and bearings and run no more than 10psi. you could go higher than this on std internals, but you'll need to change the pistons to at least something like hyper-eutectics and fit good rings.

1200RC - What kind of turbos are those? Is there a number plate on there with some info?
I know someone with a TD04-07G off of a Kubota 2L industrial engine. It looked too small to fit an A12, though.

yeah, there's plenty of TD04 variants! that 2.0L probably ran at 1500rpm all day everyday.

i'm specifically talking about the ones off the post '97 WRX though.
