Gordon Dobey used to be a Nissan race mechanic through the late 60s.
He gets them to turn over 10000rpm and make 130hp.
Not my cup of tea but they are supposed to boogie when he mods them.
Cheaper woul be turbo eg. t15/t18 and be happy with 100-110hp
and more torque than a 130hp NA one.

so with higher compression and a good stock manifold someone must have done one up?

and all A10's have flat tops...

cheers

1000 coupe exhaust has smaller outlets than GX and a heat exchange box/butterfly that bolts to the inlet manifold.

are the exhaust manifold different or the same as a GX ?

If it is a coupe A10, it has flattops and twin-exhaust manifold, would be great parts for an early A12.

As for fuel economy not sure there would be any improvement, you would probably have to rev it out just to get any kind of movement. Like that commodore that came out with the 4 cylinder motor for fuel economy, it ended up as bad as the 6 because the engine it wouldn't move the car without giving it some. Bert have you tuned one up before? Im sure theres a lot of interest as to what can be done and the kinda revs we are talking.

i have a free a10 if anyones keen .

imo there not worth much

I've given them away... but I should get onto that project of a10 screamer, twin su's and a big stick...:D
in fact there's a couple more to go.. even a coupe motor...
