Sounds like you want to 'hot up' your A12 with turbo/cams/forged pistons.
You are also looking for an A12 GX head? If you are going turbo you don't want that.
If you are going turbo, then your twin carbs will need to be modified or removed. The type of turbo system will determine what you do with your carbs. You won't get a choice of which 'backyard built' turbo system you are going to buy, because I believe HKS only made a turbo system for the L-series 20 years ago..

If money is no object, as you say, then you would be better to fit injection and ignition control, and build up our own turbo system.
Should be achievable for under US$10,000.

hey if u got something that will blow away another datsun enigne ill buy it the other guy that wont give u the $ is a joke I need a turbo system that bolts on an intake setup that will push the duel carbs and the crap that will blow my a12 up so I can put a bigger cam and new pistons in it if u got it I want it email me at theodoregarza@hotmail.com only for a12. o and I think ill need a new head after all that got an a12gx lyin around?
