Datsun / Mazda /Nissan / Ford Frankenstein motor
Posted: Sat Dec 30, 2017 12:10 pm
Hi guys,
Thought that i should start a build thread for my project, where everything about this project can go to keep it together.
To give everyone the background the setup is as follows
Datsun 1000 4 door sedan
Datsun A14 block, A15 crank
Mazda B6 head (from Ford TX3) - looking for roller rocker gear from a late 90s Kia that ran the B6 motor (Sephia I think?)
Custom OHC setup to suit
300ZX T25 turbo with custom exhaust manifold - looking for about 15 psi - nothing massive
Mazda MX5 intake, throttle body, injection, and CAS
Expect to get around 150hp at the flywheel - give or take. More than enough for a 600kg car. Car is planned as a mean street car.
Want to roll with a delco ECU - for all the usual reasons.
Have acquired a Delco from a VXII commodore - V6 auto sedan - have also scabbed the plug and about 50cm of wiring harness and the ALDL plug from under the dash.
Service number 09356445.
Also has 16269248 above the barcode and *869248S520520122* below the barcode I am still acquiring bits and pieces and plan to screw the donk together in the new year and have it in the test bed for trial setup before going into the freshly painted shell.
With regards to the ECU, (and from what I have read, people suggest that the ECU from a VN/VP/JE Cameria is the way to go (ole 808).
I'm yet to get my hands on the infamous 808, (the VX unit was free), and the seem to range from $150 to a crazy $500 online. They all seem to come without any plugs/harness for them, which is not much good for me.
I have read about bin stacking, and that sounds like a cool idea, although not sure if its really necessary for my needs. The VX unit should have enough space available to do this I believe.
Is it worth my time to hunt down an 808, or will the VX unit be just as good?
If anyone has any suggestions, or advise on extra bits ill need to chase down, that would be great.
Well that's it for the moment.
