Heard from ex-nissan works mechanic Gordon dobey, Steve newing and many others that a classic rally race a10 can make 130hp from the same capacity and 10,000rpm.
Does anyone know whats involved from first hand experience?
The crank is forged and similar to the minis 150hp aftermarket 3 bearing one and there is also aftermarket pistons to take the a10 to about 1090cc (however not allowed in racing! - bastard on jp car lovers!!)
With the 59mm motorbike stroke the a10 has and later oval port heads im sure its possible.
