Fuel injection hadn't been put into the cars until 1988, then they were known as Nissan. Nope, these ol' A14s are all carbureted. He's probably running some awesome Mikuni or Weber carb setup.
Oh absolutely possible! You just have to forge a custom head for the engine with a throttle body port and fuel injector ports. A custom head for this engine wouldn't be that much, really. And oh man, this A14 is turbo'd and has probably had a full rebuild with a bigger carb and all sorts of goodies, so yeah I think a stock one of these would hit high 15's, lol. They were pretty slow.
@420witchdoctor WRONG! All you need is an intake manifold (meant for fuel injection) which Nissan made for the A series engine (late A14's in b310's). One of these can be had for around $1000 used because of how rare they are. Oh and btw Nissan has been making fuel injected cars since the late 70's (280z, 280zx, b310, 310, 810/maxima). You don't forge a head, you cast it, also it takes years to design a "head" (not to mention lots of money), it is anything but easy.
@420witchdoctor Wow, your friend must be Bill Gates to have those kinds of programming skills. There isn't a single person in the world who could design an efficient/improved head for the A series engine in one day, let alone one year. Have your "buddy" (if he even exists) FORGE this head, since its sooo easy. Me and all other Nissan sunny enthusiasts would be more then happy to have a head for the A series that is (hemi, DOHC, and cross-flow). LMK when you know what this stuff is.
@bjkraemer21 Wow, take a shit in your pants some more, fan boy. I drive a 1970 PL521 with an L16B and the shortest-geared available 4-speed at the time. Funny how someone can know SO much about a single car, because they like it and can read a forum. Yes, my "buddy" Robert Hawn is an engineer/programmer/machinist who went to MIT for 6 years and yes, he could EASILY write the program to machine a solid block of metal into a head for that engine. Talk again, please.
@420witchdoctor Who the hell is Robert Hawn? You own a 521, why don't you post a video? Why does it not have a 280zx or other l series 5 speed? If you really owned it you would know that any 4 speed sucks (unless you like revving 4500rpms at 65mph). 6 years???? He must have failed a couple of courses...... twice; btw I have not spoken a single word, its called typing.
@bjkraemer21 Hmm, with an L20B cam in it, it has no trouble at all with a four speed. However, I'll be getting a dogleg 5-speed out of a bulletside soon. And oh, I don't have a camera.
you twit, nissan vanettes etc,were a14 that motor was certainly not limited to just early model datsuns. and i should know i've got a injected intercooled turbo A14 in a 1200 ute and i sourced the...wait for it...factory manifolds. so not only did they come injected in some cars they were turbo too. gotta love the japs
@Andrewqwerty82 Nissan never made a turbo manifold for the A series engine. Well, they did but it was in a forklift equipped with an A series engine. When installed into a 1200 it would hit the MC (the down pipe/elbow), and be too tall (turbo would be too tall to fit under the hood).
@bjkraemer21 you could be right, if so could u explain the cast turbo manifold i've got that is a low mount. the only thing that gets in the way of in a 1200 is the engine mount.
@Andrewqwerty82 Here is a picture of the A series forklift turbo manifold (the only one Nissan made). as you can see, when using in a 1200 the turbo would sit too tall to clear the hood.
ahh wouldnt it be nice to line up in the street next to a late model $42k challenger rt or Camaro SS

maoriGOTprophets 2 years ago
The 1200 and the 120y had the same engine.
The 1200 in this video is a coupe, not sedan. So its body shape is similar to that of a sedan 120y, but still quite different.
The only thing they really share is the engine and trans.

How hard was it to turbo that engine?
Fuel injected?

420witchdoctor 2 years ago
But its still possible to fuel inject a motor that was once carbureted. Ive just recently followed a build that converted an L18 to fuel injection.
My guess is that if an A14 if running late 11s, its not stock..
