My house mate and I were given a '73 1200 coupe and where making it into a drag car. We got the motor to run and it has a average of 110psi to 130psi compression in the cylinders.
Now this has cost us only $60 bucks for the turbo and everything else was given to us, were doing it on a budget of as little as possible.
Well, i guess i see it from a diferent angle.
All i see is a perfectly good engine, in a bloody good car being screwed on the cheap for a few laughs.
With boost figures of 15lbs being mentioned, yet not a single sentence on detonation control, all being done by people who don't really know what thy're doing, i see an engine being reduced to scrap in short order. Once the engine's gone, & the novelty wears off, i wonder what will be the fate of the car, as it seems to have received scant attention here.
Along with cheap mega performance, there seems to be no interest in upgrading the chassis to handle it. The focus just seems to be on cheap thrills at what i suspect will be the cost of another of our beloved Datsuns in the end.
Please prove me wrong.
