what did you guys do for intercooler piping? and radiator/heater hoses?

Oh damn that sucks, I seen what i've over looked... it's all good i guess ill just have to guess what i have in the tank lol

Oh where did you get a fuel cell with a aftermarket sending unit from?

Hell yeah man ill pm you Lol im taking off the clock and thats where im gonna put my boost gauge

Hello guys. I don't think i've ever properly introduced myself on here but I decided to leave the classic supra/sc300 for a 74 260z i found for cheap on craigslist. I have had the car for a month or two and decided to do a sr20det swap. Since like most of our cars my fuel tank was rusted, busted, and i couldn't trust it..lol so i bought a fuel cell from summit racing. I didn't want to cut my whole spare tire well so i just cut the very least so the cell can fit snug. Here's my problem, for those of you that have a fuel cell. How did you wire up your fuel gauge? Thanks in advance Joa_Taste

its a nice clean refreshing type of z.. is that a rx7 oil cooler? I thought they were dc2 coilovers lol again though my man..nice car inspirational

I was gonna go that route because i thought since the car was so old i would need a new inside harness...but i plugged in a battery and my harness is okay.. i know a few peeps that have done this. looks pretty clean n simple

Car = pure bucksects......one of my new favorite cars...sometimes i wish instead of buying a engine i wish i would have tried to just rebuild the motor and bought some wheels lol.. What suspension do you have? Please say dc2 coilovers!!! lol

HAHAH i would say best line on here lol ....It's getting serious. hahahaha

I got one that holds 12 gallons and didn't cut the spare tire well all out like most do If you wanna see what i did, go to my blogspot under My z project in my sig

did you end using a fuse block for this? would you say this diagram is pretty acurate? http://www.ozdat.com/forum/download/file.php?id=189&sid=22fce1607291660f3ca28745ae1e4a77 thank you

looking good seattlejester, keep up the good work my man

I had this motor in my mk3 supra, with a few goodies..man that thing pulled Unluckily my motor was cursed with the bhg! -__- Best of luck to you my man, can't wait to see this thing running

the fittings and such im not to sure about, since I am going fuel injected motor. I never had the lseries running so i know absolutely nothing about that engine lol. but I think the 1/4 you should be good, i mean it came oem with the car

Itzgoten ur the man, I think a fuel cell is the route im gonna go maybe a 12 gallon would be a perfect fit

Im honestly going with foam, I thought about it too because of people saying they had foam sometimes evaporate in the cell, but its not every person I read had that same issue so I will take my chances. Lol

Lol same here, Im in the middle of a sr swap and I was starting my build as a budget friendly, get what i need to get the car running and thats it..Im still going along those guide lines but I find myself watching a whole load of stuff on ebay but the fuel cell is probably gonna be the route i go, it seems so much easier to cut a small part of the well out for the sump to sit out, like you said it'll be safe from all the debrees and rocks. Only down side is the stock filler but im not really upset about that. Im going with a 12 gal plastic sumpd cell, and walbro 255 from summit racing, i think nylon lines is the way to go also, i just heard that trying to bend the fuel lines is a pain...A WAY CHEAPER PAIN THOUGH lol actually lol http://www.homedepot.com/buy/plumbing/plumbing-tools/klein-tools/professional-4-in-1-tube-bender-41569.html

where can I get the tank boiled out at? Do I really need to do that? or no, it'll still need a sump huh? That is probably the best route huh..well cheapest most cost effective route

That is a big difference, but why not just do it right the first time so your not spending more money later on? both routes seem like they have their pro's and con's idk though, the cell already comes with a sump but in turn the oem fuel tank is cheaper Another guy on here is talking about having to have it boiled out (the tank) and that's like 180 and itll be just about brand new Have you by chance heard of the camaro ls1 fuel tank upgrade?

Likewise, i've been debating about what to do also same with the surge tank seems like extra stuff, and im trying to do braided lines the tanks are all old, my area, the junk yard like to tend to putting the jackstands on the cars fuel tank -__- the fuel cell seems like the best route, less cutting is good to me, i was gonna do the stock filler but i think im just gonna have the cell and a big ass funnell sitting in my trunk lol

is that the one from ebay?

Oh so wait you were able to get the cell to fit inside the spare? If so can we see some pics i was just thinking of this the other day lol it's aluminum or plastic

I feel like we are in the same boat here, my 3 options are surge tank, fuel sump, or fuel cell Mine is going to be daily so i was thinking the fuel cell is the cheaper of the 3 because My tank was rusty, busty, and not so trusty lol so i had to scrap it a fuel cell from summit is 165 (12 gallon) and comes with sump. so no need for a surge tank This might be a funny little idea but instead of cutting the whole spare tire out maybe just cut enough for the sump to hang out of. Or maybe they can make one to fit the exact diameter of the spare well itself, that would be cool just my .02 cents

Just to add in my .02 cents you could buy a 2jzge from a sc300 for like 200-600 bucks, and boost that...same bottom end as a 2jzgte (I sold my mk3 supra for a lexus sc300 to do just that, then i sold the lexus for more money for the z) Oh and r154's you sometimes can get them for a little less than 500 if your lucky and find at junkyard. but mostly those things are expensive as hell, people tend to sell them for wayyyy more than they are worth
