would anyone out there know what is the quickest n/a, A-series powered datto is???
any 1/4 mile times??

cheers

I'll let ya know as soon as I put the car back together

i can remember a 1200 coupe with an a15 doing either high 13's or low 14's a eastern creek years ago.it was blue & i think i saw it recently at the creek with a turbo a14 & agro14 plates,where is was doing 12's.

What did Andrew's 1200 do before he switched over to the CA18?

My mates HYP014, blue 1200 coupe, was running low 14's. This was a full custom setup he hand made, even MoTec controlled injection.

It is now turboed....

that's him,jon,was a wednesday street meet were god-02l did 11's.my excuse is long,boring,& you don't want to hear it.anyway,my old 1000 club car with the a12 did 9.95 over the 1/8 mile at oran park,but i don't know how to work this into 1/4 mile times,& my 1200 wagon with the 1400 in it did a 16.99 at the creek once.

My old A14 had run 14.2 at gulgong drag strip on street tyres (it was on old backroad closed for the day) traction was pretty crap I never ran it down at eastern creek I suspect it should have run high 13's even maybe mid 13's with slicks. was pretty quick off the mark just didndt have the huge top end power of the turbo donk.
cheers Andrew

what mph did you get with 14.2?

The one tsillay mentioned is the fastest accelerating A12 naturally aspirated I've ever heard of:

An A14 can match that ... but has there every been another A12 that fast in the quarter?



Tony Marsh's Shellsport Coupe

It was an incredible car. It won shellsport that year, against much fancied opposition (eg, the twincam escort in this photo)
Tony is an engine builder, still builds probably the best A series engines in the world.
He quotes the engine in this car as 163hp, said it was to this day the best 1300 he's ever done.
The car still exists, in a garage in auckland. Now has a LZ16 atlantic engine, but has never turned a wheel in anger..
