I'm from the SF Bay Area and my brother and I Built a streetable Datsun 510 E Modified Solo car called lemonhead. We've started looking for a 521 Datsun truck as our next project. Plan is to swap a VG30 into it and us it as the car hauler for track days. Looking forward to connecting with some other car folks.

Here's a video of the build, and some driving. Read the info and it pretty much covers everything we've done to the car.

right now the car is at 14 psi, and maybe one day we might go as far as 18. If I had it to do over again, I think I would get a smaller turbo, maybe 2871. To get the gt3071 to spool up with a little 2.0 liter motor requires 4000 rpm before getting full boost. I'll never go beyond 18 psi, and I'd much rather sacrifice that top end, and get that power earlier. this is the first turbocharged car I've ever done, so it was a learning curve.
