I have a '71 Datsun 510 with a VG30ET 300ZX turbo engine.
It's running 17 psi and is around 350-375hp.
I'm thinking of running a OHG 450 or Impco 425 in a blow through set-up.
I have the tank,converter,shut off valve and filter. I just need to get a mixer, hose fittings and hose.
Will the MM (OHG) or 425 handle more HP then the N.A. 325hp rating they give them or should I stage some 200's or 225's.
Also I have an L converter. The longest demand will be at the drag strip 12sec.
Also I have some various new 225's 200's a ca55 and air valves I would be willing to trade for a nice 450 OHG, Impco 425 or Nolff's 475 and hose and screw on fittings. I can take pics of the parts I have.
Thanks, Aaron
Turbo?
Here's a pic of my car.

The 425 and 425 will be borderline at 375 bhp blowthrough, but will probably work. Your problem will be setting up the system for transparent operation. The transition from no boost to full boost can be pretty exciting, having driven more than a few high boosted systems.
I have several of both, but have no desire to exchange any parts. Do a websearch for my name, "franzh".
Nice car by the way!

Thanks Franz, I exchanged some posts with you on the old Impco board.
I have a place here in town(Arizona Propane) that will set-up the mixer on the dyno when I get it installed and sorted.
At 375hp will I be lacking enough fuel or will the converter be holding me back.
Im in Arizona so I never see temps below 40* and most of the time it's around 100*.

Hi Aaron
Thought you might like to have a look at a set up we run in australia.
I have this on a turbo ford 6 with exelent results and can be used with
a feedback system very reliable.

That thing is REALLY cool! I love classic old cars with modern powerplants crammed in 'em...
Would it perhaps work better as a draw-through system? I never had any kind of gas flowing through any of my turbo cars before... But I would think propane would be the best bet, since it won't puddle...
Sorry, no real tech in my post.
