this shows a picture of an engine that looks exactly the same as mine did when i picked it up from the importer. it came with the same wierd intake thing over the carby and same rubber cover over the distributor cap. I had a good look at the intake thingy and i found that it would be very useful in blow through turbocharging in place of making your own carby hat as it has a rubber seal over the carby. not to mention the fact its a factory nissan part.... if anyone knows anything, any info would be appreciated.

Post a pic of this engine if you can ?

Cheers

Ａ１５改１６０７ｃｃ製作
Translates to A15 (something) 1607cc (production)

This is from the link to that page. I'm not able to explain the funky intake filter box.

If you do a google search on A15 nissan, the engines were used in all kinds of industrial applications.

just an engine out of a c22 vanette,that light blue hat connects to a remote air cleaner in the inner guard of the van.

Did you notice that the page adress mentions A17, probably insignificant, but I wonder?

An A17 no way! i never heard of one, that would be wicked if there were one?

I wondered about that. Good one B310GX.

I've not ever gone down the A15 route. I was going to, but the CA's were about the same price. And I used to get better economy out of the CA18DE than I got from the A14....When driven normally...

Chris.

if you delete the last bit of the address you go to a page of links and the link says a-17 engine to

but that block looks normal size and i dont like chances of getting an a-15 out to 1.7 ltr

i think that A15's are stable when bored out to about 1607/1608cc's but dont quote me on it.

maybe they have a longer stroke crank,the japanese seem to do that for everything these days,& thats the only way to get bigger than 1608 from an a15.maybe they bore it to blaizes,then use cylinder liners for bigger pistons,but there isnt that much room between no's 2 & 3 cylinders.
