Any 12AT owners??
I know that these are hard to come by and don't produce much power but I was wondering if any one "else" was running one of these setup's

Thanks. It definitely sparks up a conversation. I just wanted to be different.

Looks like a dyno screen in the background; so, how much HP does it make?

I love the white mesh wheels. So yeah, how much power is that 12AT putting down? I have some parts around here somewhere...

Base pull I did 158hp @6lbs but shredded the alternator belt so we called it a day. Double pulley and belts have been installed since. I'll update it once we go back.

Thanks for the compliment. It did 158 @ 6lbs to the wheels on the 1st pull before the alternator belt shredded.
Nice. Do u plan on doing anything with it?

I don't know yet. I don't want to turbo my '85. My DD is a turbo subie.... eats Audis for lunch but not as fun to tinker on as a carb. Probably sell it eventually. I got it from my brother, who got it in trade. It's mostly a "curiosity" piece for a restorer or collector. I can't see using it myself.

Froggy, he's talking about a 12A Turbo. Some of the cars were sold with a factory turbo on them.

Clean car! Maybe I saw it on InstaGram?!

Is a 12AT setup hard to come by? I guess they are coming out of Japan and maybe Australia?

I am sure that it would make a fun setup. I am running a 12A street port with a side draft/RB exhaust and wish I had a bit more power. Don't think I am making 150whp!!

I was lucky to find this kit on FB. I scooped it up the same day it was posted. Haven't seen one pop up since. I'm sure they're out there.

You've probably seen my car on the Central Florida Rotaries IG page or my personal IG page 1Bad12A

Neat stuff! I like the little carby hat, that's gotta be 10hp on its own!
