so im gonna go pick up my datsun 1200 next weekend , im deciding on what set-up i should go with my target hp is about 250rwhp, but i have a 575 hp turbo II engine ican get from my uncle


1)575 hp turbo II engine , my uncle has a turbo II with a t-76 in it ,but the engine can only run on race fuel ,so the downside is lack of daily drivability.

2) go n/a, bridge ported 13b 4-port, with weber 51adi or holley 650 on a turbo II tranny


i prefer the n/a but im not sure i can achive 250 rwhp on that n/a set up; or can i?

 

Which is better for what?

Drag?
Street?
Roadrace?
Autocross?
Coolness?
Looks?
Weight?
Simplicity?
Complexity?
PITA?

250 RWHP... yes N/A.
Have it put together correctly.. and if it is all dialed up right.. you can get that.
Turbo? ****.. turn the boost down on the uncles motor... run pump gas.. and voila.. 250 is easy.

What do you wanna do with it should define the motor for you.
Also Budget.
Can you afford all the fun that will come along with your choice of Turbo or non-turbo....

 

its for drag race

the turbo II engine is running at 14psi of boost it has 91 n/a rotors (dont know why siguel did this)

so 250rwhp is possible on a bridgeported 13 4-port on weber 51adi?

 

Just get the turbo II motor. You will regret it in the long run if you dont. You will get bored with the N/A. You can always turn down the boost as stated above. There is nothing in the engine that requires it to be run on race fuel.

 

hes not selling his car anymore ,because he found a job

but still i want to build an all-motor 13b project so this would be it.

 

i got both, i had a bridgeported (cuatro puente) 13b in my fb, i was running a holley 650,holley fuel pump, 4puck clutch,racing beat exhaust,it was fun tons of fun specially with the looks i used to get running it in the streets. But then i put a streetported (overlap y escape) TII engine with a microtech and im having even more fun. I preffer the turbo set up, i still have my brigeported engine im putting it in my starlet and im sure ill have some more fun with that also.
