Datsun 510 KA build

Post by TariqKa-t »

Just curious if any of you guys are running boosted ka's on a Datsun 510. I've searched around and I've seen a few swap kits, curious if anyone has had good success with one.

I have seen some online with good results. 300whp in a 510 is like a 500whp s13. I wonder how hard it is to handle with that short wheel base.

More like short wheel base with good power in a sub 2k weight car.
