just wondering what would be the quickest engine LeGAlly for a datsun 1200 non turbo sedan. from what i have heard sr20de would be the best, roughly what would it do a 1/4mile if done
cheers!!

I have a 1200 ute with the SR20de with stock internals, pod filter with 3" exhaust. Have never "officially" ran it on a 1/4 mile but am thinkin it could run high 13's to low 14's. Me and Datto1000wagon did a test run on a supposed 1/4 mile stretch of road(not actually measured but apparently is spot on) and did around the 14 second mark.
Although it was just counted in his head... HAHAHAHA, couldn't find a stop watch on my phone...
Will be doing a timed run soon, but still will be far from accurate.

According to the QLD Transport Department the largest LEGAL donk for a 1200 ute is a 2.0L.

There are a few 2.0L donks out there but most (including me) go for the SR20. There is the FJ20, the RB20, Astron 2.0 or even the 2.0L series datto donks.

The reason I choose the SR20 is cause of the huge aftermarket performance support for them and they can also be STROKED easily (but not too cheaply) to 2.4L.

From a stock SR20DE I would be happy with 14's/15's down the quarter but the best thing is it can only get BETTER
