Or spend the same $$ on my ca-et for a performance build-up......but if I can only get 200hp out of it, then it's worthless to go that route.

you can get a DET that needs building for £50

Where? If I did my conversion right, thats like $95 USD?? I would still need the complete motor set with all the wiring goodies. All of the ca-dets I've found average around $1200 USD + shipping

I've got about 12 of them that I've picked up from garage clearances/rebuild exchanges (used to run a 200sx garage) etc, I guess it's harder in the states as they were never sold there. $1200 for a non-runner is terrible!!!!!!

what your really wanting to know is how much power the stock et head can give.

350BHP is probably the upmost maximum for the et with abosultley everything played with but Nitrous

The det can do this on the standard head and a healthy well maintained bottom end

that's a fair assessment, the ET head is a definite bottleneck, the inlet and exhaust ports are the worst I've ever seen

I know 30PSI has fitted the ET head to the DET block. If the ET head is so restrictive, can a DET head be fitted to the ET block? Or is this impossible?

i have seen a standered s12 with induction kit,zorst nitrous do a 1/4mile in mid 11sec at santa pod so if you have a healthy engine get a progressive nitrous kit and chill im thinking of this as ive only got 37k miles on my s12
just uprate the usual stuff and nitrous it mid 11sec maybe more laughing all the way with the gas if you are in some what of a budget or det the car with a few mods and you will have a good platform for future high power outputs

I spoke to a guy who i sourced an engine for and he was doing 13.1sec 1/4 miles at the pod on a standard engine on 14psi.He was using a nitrous kit.

I do wonder how much the std and a modified et head could do for sure.S13EATER could probably shed some light on it when he comes back from holiday.
