Dont be offended, I just like them as I have had a bit of experience with building these engines and have come to like them for the amount of grunt you can get reliably from them.

I think the Murphy racing developments ET Pulsar would make 200Kw at the wheels.

I just rebuilt one this week and didnt have any problems with parts availability for quality components.

As I pointed out, forget the optical drive dissy as its subject to timing scatter from the drive mechanism lash.

What Barbie components are we talking about (Wolf, Haltech, Motec or Autronic )


Quote:Yes and fast ones at that From Full Boost fastest FWD non 4wd

Now it takes a very good SR or CA in a 1200 to do an 11.9 and what easy availble of the shelf components are you going to use to do that ???

you could always use a delco. most (all..?) of the N12 sensors are compatible with the delco, funny considering most of the sensors etc were carried over to the N13 pulsar / camira.

i have seen an E15 using a delco, but i'm not sure what was involved. it might be worth your while looking into it - more maps and tuning ability than a MoTeC for the cost of a fuel only microtech!

or if you're really into building your own you could look at the megasquirt systems...

Ok Ok.. so these E15's don't seem so bad

I'll retract my insulting statements from earlier. You can now quote me as saying "The E15 is a great engine for many applications".

But you must have at least chuckled at my hairdressers comment

As for Barbie girls components, I was extending on my previous misconceptions about the E15 being a little girl's motor

I stand educated at least.

We've documented my misconceptions, which would be normally fairly common for FWD -> RWD transplants.

The Delco stuff is good but it doesnt allow as much tuning versatility as a motech M$ even.
Have a look at a Motec or Autronic demo program. When you go into the pages there are so many variables you can adjust way more so than the delco stuff i have seen even the latest gen 3, 250 Kw clubsport engine computers.

I like Delco's as well as they offer great value bang for buck. I have seen a local ducati 900 running on a Delco, but they still dont have the adjustability of the big brand stuff.

I'm looking at the motec ecu now. I really want to get the e15t working. The thing i was concearned about was that with a stand alone i might not be able to get the engine to run at all without alot of tuning.

Modifying the ga16 harness and whatnot is kind of messy.

all those stand alone's are so expensive...

For my bluebird FJ20T I just plugged in the M4 pro with advanced tuning and got it to idle by cranking and richening the mixture till it fired and ran evenly.

I then pulled the map up at the next 500 rpm level, to the point where it ran evenly at all throttle openings and took it up in steps from there.

Once it was up to driveable rpm, On the road we just drove it and tuned as it was driven till the flat spots were gone and the mixtures seemed reasonable. That saved a lot of dyno time and money.

yeah dyno time is the killer in most budgets. $120+ and hour adds up really quick!

Just a little update on the Murphy racing developments E15T!
Ben Murphy came up to my house last night and told me they have now run an 11 .52 at 132?? mph (previous 127 mph). This was done at heathcote the weekend before last and they are now aiming to hit high 10's!!!!!
This makes them the 9th fastest FWD in OZ !!!!!!!

This is a great engine to follow on from the A series. Why arent they a popular transplant into 1200's???

Neil Kersten of Intune Automotive in Alice Springs saw the light years ago with his 1200 ute and creamed the desert racer series with E15T power. It had a modded T25 Garret, Hi flow head, was EFI with celica 5 spd. It ran a Nismo H165 LSD and was unbeatable in its class!

Surely some one can do an E15T/clica 5 spd streeter???

I think I have a new project brewing.......mmmmmmm Datsun 1200 Coupe with E15ET with a 63A Box mmm
Do the engine mounts have to custom or is it the same as the A15 setup???


By the way the SR20DEt in my Sunny is really good pulled the gearbox out and have a HKS twin plate in it already, was wondering why it was so heavy on the pedal. The workshop who did the MOD plates I took it to complained of it being heavy...lol

there sum awsum times!
