Hi
just want to make my sunny move a little faster, I was going to drop a SR20 motor but too much hassle and $$$ cant do it now cos xmas is coming.
So I decided to just keep my A12 motor and maybe put new carby? and exhaust?
Please advise which carby will bolt straight to my sunny (32/36) I heard you can get these from 2ltr excorts and cortinas?

or should I get something else?

Thats what im going to do with my A12 but it just depends on HOW fast you wanna go.....

Just faster than stock... dont have a big budget.
So I'm just thinking of getting new carby and exhaust.

mate u may as well drop an A14 in there, wont cost you much and its easy as piss, and believe me you wont regret it.

will it bolt straight in? no need to modify the cross member or other engine mounts? how about the stock gear?
how much will it cost me for this conversion as I cant do it myself (very little mech knowledge)

as i am a newbie to the datsun world and am quite unknowenced in their engine models, can someone please tell me where can i find myself an a14 or a15
ie, which cars have them,
thanx muchly

I think they came also in sunny and cherry?
I got A12 on my 81 sunny

I'm guessing this kind of conversion will cost under $1,000 thats too much for me...
for now. I just want to make it a little faster

the a12 to a14 conversion cost me $200 but i did alot of the work myself. the a14 came in the sunny and the a15 came in some of the vans.

as for the cherry, thats what we call the pulsar in OZ. razor fill in your location so it's easier to help.

The A14 will almost go straight in you only need to weld an extension onto the mounts as the are slightly further foward or back (i can nver remember which) than those on the A12. Very simple process and not much more than upgading your exhaust or carbie/s.

Razor is driving a Sunny, so NO engine mount mods are necessary. The A14 came in the Sunny STATION WAGON, so if you get one from one of these, the conversion from a Sunny [wagon] into a Sunny [other] has gotta be a doddle.

I believe that A15's are commonly seen in the smaller Nissan Vanette's & have a longer stroke to bump up the torque. In stock, or near stock trim, these commercial model engines will not really make your car much faster. A little quicker perhaps, but not much faster. I suggest the A14 option.

P.S.
The engine mount mod is only necessary when fitting '74 & later "A" series engines into '73 & earlier "B" series Datsuns & the chassis bracket needs to be extended rearward to pick up the engine bracket on the right side only. We wont go into the reverse option as very few will fit an A10 into a Sunny Wagon.
