hi all, im not from aussie but i love datsuns mostly 1200´s :D.

i have a white 1992 ute LHD i have now 2 years with it and i love it, i prefer a sedan but its dificult to find one in my country.

well 9 months ago i bougth an a15 for my ute, its a vannete a15 i know that because of the front pulley that had 3 belt passages the exhaust manifold is the big one y the inlet manifold is diferent and the rocker cover its different to.

i rebuild it, new pistons, rings, seals, bearings etc, i upgraded my transmision too to a 5 speed 60 series.

ok im running the 15 since september and its wonderfull, im using a 2 belt pulley cause i have air conditioner & an a12 carby with normal a15 inlet manifold and im not running mechanical fuel pump, i have electronic dizzy and it runs smooth and very well and i fell the diference of the a12 to a15 upgrade.

i really really love the A series engines and im not thinking on any engine upgrades for a long time but want to make my a15 more fun so i bougth a compe. oil pump with a cooler, a mitsu eci multi inlet manifold for efi setup, have a fuel pressure regulator, a toyota ct12 turbo, mitsubishi oem small intercooler and a few other stuff,

im thinking on making the efi setup with honda D16 engine ecu, wiring and stuff i have the p06 ecu that revs limit at 6500 rpm, i also made an A series to honda D series custom ignition support and im working on the custom inlet manifold, want to build the efi setup first then start to think on the turbo setup but its a low progress build cause i need to use my ute every week day

sooo, i dont know how many hp does it have but im going for at least 100hp or so, i hope i can get that from just the efi setup.

ive been focused on the exterior of my ute since i have it but now i want to get my a15 to the fullest on stock internals.

this will be my project tread so you can give me some advices.

cheers :D.

howzigoin dude, my advice is get some pics of your sweet little ute up asap.good to hear you keeping it A series.i just put an a15 into my ute and its awesome plenty of power without upgrading to huge brakes gboxes and diffs etc.my 2 cents:id go straight for some itb's bolted on to a dcoe manifold..nice cam,springs and ports and its hammer time!

100hp is possible but you need a good cylinder head, like the GX head and revs like 6500 RPM.

The stock A15E engine was 92 HP ???

Do you have the Mitsu manifold that bolts to the A-series?

greendog: thanks mate im in love with your ute, i have double valve spring but dont want to use bigger cam cause its to expesive and dificult to find in my country

also i have toyota trueno 4.30 diff at the rear with disc brakes and lsd and skoda favorit front strut inserts with front disks too and camber tops, 1-3/4 exhaust pipe

ddgonzal: im porting another head so i can use it for the efi setup and yes i bougth the mitsu manifold that fits A series i found it at ebay for just 50 dollars and it was complete

you can see the pictures of my ute in the photo album ( mpower )

i will post some other pics in here

pictures of the engine bay paint and the lowered suspension

my plans are to finish the functional parts and then paint the entire ute
