another way to get that 'chunky' sound is get the lightest flywheel you can. heavy flywheels smooth the engine rotations which is nice but wont sound like the wua...wua...wua noise you want. that with the lumpy cam and nice carb/filter and it will sound mint. it will also go good as well

nice! how much power u puttin through the beast b120?

hey ever since i put my Webers on and my new extractors, its sounds CHUNKY a mini v8 somebody thought i had a rota , it is quiet at idle but once i am on the throttle it makes a nice chunky sound!

Holiday.. I wish.. I'm working

kewlies, well enjoy your holiday anyway.

I'm in California this week. Posting from my Hotel in San Jose. It's about 1am. I'll check out my project when I return on Sunday/Monday (It should be painted by month end). I'm still trying my best to get it finished by November for Adelaide DatNats.

Still got the SSS, I haven't driven it for 3 weeks or so..and Haven't seen my white sedan for nearly 6 weeks ..been too busy with moving house and work. I need to change that.

Anyway, I don't want to hijack this thread, by talking about me. Time for sleep, gotta drive up to San Francisco after work tomorrow afternoon for dinner.

thanks heaps chris! ill keep that all in mind. hows the cars going? still got the SSS? whats up with ur project car?

As for cam..anything lumpier than stock is the go..but almost all cams will mean you lose low down driveability, which is real important on a daily driver. I said CA18DE..normally aspirated. I used to have one, and it sounded nice, I used the standard airbox, with the atmosphere side chopped out for more air input and more intake noise output
The Zxx stuff is too hard to find. Get a worked L18 from a 1600, the wilder the better. And fit that with a Stanza 5 speed. Read through some of the L Series in a 1200 articles. Starting a transplant with only the intake noise as an inspiration point, is not a good idea. Get the basics right and then go for the "nice to haves". A car in the garage with no motor is not a car. I know I don't need to tell you this.

But it's good to see you back into Dattos again. (Not that you ever lost interest).
Chris

awesome. about the ca18det, does that require a lumpy cam as well?? whats the deal with a lumpy cam, any negatives? how expensive? what do u recommend chris? am i being stupid? lol whats the meaning of life? ive too many questions for ya chris lol.

oh and whats the deal with the L20 and Z20 are they an easy fit? theres not much info anywhere on them.

thanks heaps again chris

You want webers with minimal filters and a lumpy cam. That's how you get the rorty weber note happening. A holley or other regular downdraft is muffled by it's restricted air paths. My brother old 1600 with L20 (with 2.4 crank/pistons) sounded like the business. He was running twin 48 webers.

However, a CA18DE with a filter sock on the end of the AFM sounds very similar. You also need to get the exhaust note right too. Always run a resonator, otherwise it will just be loud, but not nice.
