If you want to supercharge it, go for it. While I don't think the T4 is a proper candidate for boost, its a T4, they are a dime a dozen, if it pops you can build another.
I would use a two barrel Holley carb and a MSD Boost Timing Master to control your iginition retard if you decide to stick with a carb. Personally I would use fuel injection to get proper control of the timing and fuel. The Holley two barrel will have more options for jetting and adjustments to work good on and off boost. Watch your cylinder head temps and timing advance. Don't want to pop the heads off the first time out. I was just looking on Rock Auto and they show the 1985 Nissan 720 pickup as the one having the twin plugs. I will have to look for the old VW Porsche Magazine that had the article about the twin plug engines. Can't remember if he used the whole dizzy or just the cap. You can do it, who cares what everyone else says. If you need bring it to Huntsville and I will work on it. |

Hey Brett, I may take you up on the offer to bring it to Huntsville...I am right in Cave Spring Ga. That famous 914 shop in Atlanta is not interested in doing the engine work, I do need a good Type IV mechanic, wonder how much it would cost to ship the car to you...you were serious right? Larry |
