the z18 set the bathurst lap record in qualifying, then posted a dnf coz the donk couldnt handle the 35 psi. it still holds the record because the track is now longer. so the smokey z18 love needs to be clarified haha

see what i mean about using info to backup your argument that isnt all the truth? Ruredi, seriously do your research and make your conclusion because realisticly personal opinion biases advice. the internet is full of information, some of it is even true.

marks L series basic but well thought out setup (efi turbo) made 140kw at 8psi. to put it in perspective he sold the whole car for $5500 with suspension brakes etc. id be turboing an l banger for sure, suits the car.

its easy to dislike the sr 1600 because it is common, and the motors do have their weak points. but the bottom end can put out 300+rwkw in stock form and they fit in the engine bay like they were meant to be there. parts are plentiful and cheap, hard not to like it! ive put a lot of work and research into mine to make it super responsive and im proud of it. its no kawasaki head, offset ground stroked overbored sleeved ca19desct that runs on gas and cruises at 1800rpm (that suit 1000 wagons) but it does exist

good luck with your build ruredi!
