Hey all,
Here is a quick update on the 1200 project.
-Finished welding all the Aluminium parts -Mounted all intake and exhaust manifolds etc -Mounted carb -Modified fuel tank and put in electric pump w/new 3/8" copper fuel lines -Installed FPR -Rewired engine bay -Made some super heavy duty power/ground cables
-Re-installed dash with oak insert and boost guage and tacho
Car fired up and ran almost instantly, sounds great, turbo spools and is louder than the engine at the higher RPMs.. and thats without an exhaust system yet.
Still need to plumb in intercooler and radiator, also need to get a rebuild kit for the carb as it is leaking. Need to also wire in my new guages and make my throttle cable work... then the engine side will be finished.
Years of storage has caused alot of the brake system to seize up so I need new rear wheel cylinders, and the master cylinders could use a rebuild.
After that is done, I need to finish the interior (mount the Silvia bucket seats that I bought) and carpet etc...
Then it will be back to bodywork to sand the primer and spray it finally... though I dont know when that will be, I want to get it going by next spring if at all possible.
Thanks for looking, I welcome your comments/suggestions
SLAM

Ive been reading another thread about projected power outputs of engine builds and it got me wondering.
What kind of HP do you think I would be looking at with this engine?
let say at 5psi, 10 psi and 15psi
Stock engine, t2 turbo, Silvia sidemount intercooler

what engine was the inlet manifold plenuim from originally? it looks like you've made it from a donor manifold.

Yeah I can get lpg no problem
The inlet manifold is actually from a Toyota Tercel. The runners were really long on it so I cut them down and then welded on my own flanges that I made.. it was also about .75" too wide so I cut it down and re-welded it.
If you look through my album you can see a close up of it.
If I were to do it all over again I would have made it from scratch (brand new elbows etc) but I was strapped for cash and didnt really have a plan for what I was doing, just trying to make it all fit.
Its a practice run really because I have found an A14, 2x 60 series 4 spd, 4x H150's and a whole tonne of other parts... I will build the next engine up to be alot better than this one..
Still... anyone throw out an estimate for power from my A12??

if you went lpg you wont need that step for the carb which will increase flow and response. There are so many variables but I think your tercel inlet manifold is excellent. Will be interested to see what figures you get and how close it is to the engine the turbo and carb original where made for.
