toms.AE71 Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 (edited) hey fella's, ive got an ae71, just wondering if an 1.2 nissan engine would fit straight onto my 5 speed manual box. as my 1.6 is not soo cool, and this 1.2 has twin webbers seeing if it would work. would i need an adaptor plate.

Redwarf Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 No. Mostly. I do know of an a-series with a t50, but it has a custom bell housing. BTW: there's no such thing as fully worked. There's always someone who'll go that bit further. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budowski Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 (edited) That engine may have the goods but i wouldnt expect much more than 80-100hp out of it. I know of an escort 1.6 thats getting roughly 160hp at the flywheel with a formula ford kinda spec. Do you have a budget?, might find somthing if there is a price range.

LittleRedSpirit Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 4afe bottom end, bigport head, plus turbo. Cheap decompression and turbo it hard. Perfect for a burnout car. Boost and a bottom end you can lunch and go again cheaply. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toms.AE71 Posted March 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 someone's gotta know something.. i have money so money isn't a problem, just wanna know what i have to do to make it fit to my gearbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styler Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 its not an easy task nor wise in many ways but say you just had to do it then get the nissan gearbox to suit! theres no way you want to adapt the difficult option of bellhousing/clutch/flywheel rather than using the much easier option of a shifter/tailshaft/cross member by using the nissan box, just a thought...

parrot Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Of course it wont fit. Just put another 4AC in FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFFFFFFFAAAAAAAARRRRRRRKKKKKK YYYYYOOOOOOUUUUUUUUU i see your pain dude :) if you really want that engine id use the mounts/gearbox and just get a tail shaft modified that would be cheaper than a bellhousing adaptor/flywheel custom and clutch. last tail shaft i had modified cost 300-400 and then you would be looking at the labour to possible fabricate a gearbox mount or just modify the one that comes with the gearbox and the same with engine mounts the rest is easy fuel is already there and so is electrics. Have a look here might give you some answers http://datsun1200.com/modules/news/ I'm sure these guys would have done the T50 box to a A12 or being Datsun they would be more likely to use a nissan silvia box or bluebird 5 speed ?

FFFFFFFFAAAAAAAARRRRRRRKKKKKK YYYYYOOOOOOUUUUUUUUU Yep that's me. You will always get help here, but not if you ask ridiculous questions. I look forward with interest to a tech post explaining how you did it when it is finished...... You have of course done some preliminary measurements, worked out for example, how you will mount the starter motor into the bellhousing when the non crossflow head means the exhaust and carburettors are on the same side as a 4A starter in a AE71. So obviously you will require a custom bellhousing which makes the whole proposition ridiculous. You can consider this post 'help' by encouraging you to forget the whole idea. Next time think about it first. If you were planning to put a higher power engine in, then perhaps custom bellhousings would be worthwhile, and I am sure if you have a brief search here and on google, you will find plenty of examples.
