Ernie has run it in the 1/8 mile drags, but not yet in the 1/4 mile.

Today was just on a back road. It has 8,000 RPM valvetrain, twin Weber 32/36, Nitrous, and a Mercedes Kompressor.

 

Ice, it doesn't feel quite as fast as your SR20DET 510, but pretty close...

Hahaha...I will have dual weber 32/36 carbs soon on my 620....what did he use as a jetting profile on the Webers (primary/secondary & idles)?

 

That super charger is something else.. :D

 

 

Ay Chihauhau! It's tiny, but Mighty.

 

 

This is a local 1200, Ernie's twin-weber downdraft A15 engine, now with supercharger:

Cheap... very cheap. It has a used Mercedes blower, Mustang pulley, home built brackets and airbox, Datsun 411 rear axle. "Lincoln-locker" no-slip differential. If you do the work yourself, it doesn't cost much. If you pay a professional it will cost a fortune.

 

The forged pistons may be the single most expensive part of this setup. Otherwise the A15 short block is stock, as I understand. Perhaps Ernie will tell us more...

 

 

[From last winter:]

I run one NOS and one Fuel nozzle right into the intake between the two carbs.

I have only ran the car on an 1/8th mile track at 9 second before the supercharger...

I am running a electric fuel pump that pushes 8-10 pounds of pressure which seems to work fine.

The blower is a screw type and it does look like an eaton. Not sure if it really is. You can google them on ebay. They run about $450. It is clutch drive so I installed a switch on the dash.

 

It has two fuel pumps in line, for double the fuel pressure.

That's really cool, I seen a sim set up on a s13 but its just so much sweeter seeing it on a datsun. Thank you for sharing ggzilla :-). Cant wait to find out more.

Correction, they are 36/36, not the 32/36.

Jetting: 140 on all bores (up from 120 pre-supercharged)

Gzilla, is this the same 1200 that I have seen years ago ( through the internet...) with dual downdraught set up???

 

I always thought about a dual downdraught set up, specially for Datsuns with clearance problems ( DCOEs hitting the brake booster and such )

 

What are the details of this manifold? I want to make a dual downdraught manifold for an L series and for an A series.
