I love it !! 12a,,,, I have a friend who a few years back
used to be a rotor head,and he was telling me that a 12a is the shit vs a 13b, and about the size,shape,and position of the ports too..12a bridgeport w/ EFI is very fast, he says.Is there a secret templete for such porting ?? Did you know you ups guy had such a monster in his pocket DF ?? Seeing those pics really gets the gears turning upstairs,,,you know ??? What else ??? lightened rotors ,? cross drilled E shaft,for better oiling ? Are the rear tires ,M&H racemasters(mini)with pizza cutters up front ? When the car launches what happens? hooks up,,? pulls the wheel(s) ,?? goes up in smoke,?? I've got tons to ask still,,,later,, all that and its quite too awesome...he did it RIGHT, and droped the blow through. |

I just noticed something else, on some of his stainless lines he has hydraulic band clamps :) I got some of them on my oil cooler lines, wasnt real happy about them, but they hold I guess...

BTW, the guy can drive very well. He even drove his friends 10 second 1981 Toyota Corlolla (4 cylinder Turbo, daily driver) for him as well. They did do a VERY clean install. I am going to hook up with him about the Fuel Delivery, which is my only part that I am still not 100% sure of.

This one was gorgeous. 12.58 in the 1/4. Quiet as HELL. Pulled really hard on 2nd and third gear.

It also has a solution to the Gauge Mounting problems for the Turbo guys who don't have A/C.

i seen that car run b4 at lakeland 1/8...i think he was running 6.4-6.5 at the time...Kilo racing once had a '71 Datsun with a bridgeported 12a engine with nos and i think he made it to 5.9 in the 8th...i seen him beat a lot of 13b's with the same set-up...that shows that you can do a lot with a 12a

hmm... what size wheels/tires are on that black one...
and what's under the hood to make it go 12's? |

He wasn't very friendly, and never lifted his hood. I guess he was a "player-hater" :) |
looks like a set of weds. can't see the center cap to well though.
|
Still wondering why the tranny swap - and which Datsun rear end? 240z for the IRS? 280ZX with squat-prone but easier to mount trailing arms?

Originally posted by Directfreak I don't know. :( He wasn't very friendly, and never lifted his hood. I guess he was a "player-hater" :) I see too many 9/10/11 second street cars to consider 12's to be very quick :) |
