Thanks for the words Jmac and to all the unfinished datsuns out there we all have different lives with different issues, budgets and ideas so passing judgement without knowing the person on a personal basis is nothing but petty. The main thing about dattos is that they are never finished if you like to tinker, change styling and go faster then it sure beats wasting money at pokies etc. Each to their own.

I like the idea of a budget oil as when I was looking for advice on the IHI version of the Lysholm Ax1200 in the Eunos v6 I found peeps had no issues with 10w-30 synthetic oil as long as it was changed every 5000 kms as this blower relies on sharing the engine oil for both lube and cooling.

With oil in the SC14 Id guess it would last at least 20,000kms but I dont know for this 1.4 roots type blower
how you would keep it cool in sustained race use unless you
just spray the casing with water again for cooling.

Im not using the IHI twin screw blower now I bought 2 to play with but have decided on the lil Amr500 for packaging so my IHI blower will be for sale, they have a Peak flow of 635 CFM @ 17.5psi & can run a oil cooler unlike most others.
