N13's had a 1.8lt Holden Camira engine didn't it? Not sure about the 1.6's though. My old man owns a 1994(Jap Made) N14 Pulsar Q with a GA16. I can confirm it is an EFI TWIN CAM 16valve 1.6lt , cross flow with Variable Timing Camshaft (VTC). Factory specs says 81kw@6000rpm, 147Nm @4000rpm. These engines were also used in N15 1.6's.

NISSAN did make a GA16. It took place of the E-16 and it had a timming chain instead of a timming belt.It's an o.k. engine ,but I like the e better.

when i saw the engine it did look like a single cam, but the guy said that the single cam bottom end used a harmonic balancer to make it able to have the twin cam head. or some thing like that, i wasnt taking to much notice of that engine as i had other things to do but i just got thinking about how it would go in the 1200. but it definatly wasnt an sr16
the rockercover was like an sr one but it was skinnier
as i said, ill go back and get some more info

i think its called a g16 not ga16 my mate has a n13 and the motor is a ga16, looks nothing like a sr20 plus its single cam,single point injection. i always thought these sr20 lookalikes were called a sr16 ?????

i'll probably go back this weekend and sus it out, engine number should tell me for sure what engine it is

so does no one know what the GA16 goes like

Hear in the U.S. there is an engine that came in a later model pulsar that was a twin cam engine and it was a CA-16 , had no dist. in it only coil packs---- variable cam timming

Not sure about an E15- were they the engines in N12- 1984 Pulsars? If so, in my opinion they weren't that good. Our family have had Datsuns/Nissans of different types since 1975. The GA16 twin cam from a N14 Pulsar is quite good but I am not sure if there are RWD g'boxes, you may have to mod one.

You should use a
Frontier SC 2001(VG33ER)
Eaton Supercharged (factory fitted)

That'd RIP in a datto!

i guess it was a ga16
said that they were the same bottom end as e series, maybe he just meant that they are similar
but anyway, are ga16s any good, has anyone ever tried to fit one into a 1200, can you get rwd gearboxs to fit up to them

ga16 or sr20.

Not sure about E-series. Not in Australia anyway.
