  1. No, it just has a blue plastic protector on from new, it will come off when the car is ready.

     

    Any update at your end, I have removed the turbo car is running fine just need to close it to make it road worthy again

  2. Its been a while thought of posting some finiahed project pictures, sorry couldnt update it but as it wasnt really related car to the forum that why, in the end there is a builf thread link incase anyone wants to view it.

  3. Pretty Nifty, I'm really liking the positioning.   I'm not sure I like how thin the metal on the top mount is, but it's a great idea.  I was looking at other pumps recently, and there's a lot of really little pumps out there, so I'm going to  look for some  that'll fit that bracket. I may have to weld up a spacer, two tubes parallel to each other, but it should work.  Thanks for being the first!  are you using the stock condenser/oiler/dryer/core for it all?

     

    The top metal plate is just a supplementary support, main support if from the stock power steering pump bracket.

     

    I am using universal condenser and oiler

  4. Hey guys not on a Z but on my skyline C10. Car came with L20A inline 6 with triple 40DCOE carbs, engine was working fine but fuel pump wasnt in a good shape

     

    This is how when it came from Japan

    Clean up the engine paint polish things like these and ran it was running fine still using same fuel pump without any regualtor, but I ran it outsdie the car

    After a 9-10 months installed in the car, didnt start it though

    Recently installed redline fuel pump for carbs

    Along with this regulator

    I removed the stock fuel rail as was looking for cleaner look and installed some pipes was planning to make a fuel rail but couldnt get appropriate size and AN fitting here we get only limited parts here in dubai so difficult to source. Anyhow manage to put IN and rerun and the problem I am getting is flooding in the carbs changed the settings on regulator but not working can cross check any fittings if pipes are fitted ok or not but whats happening is fuel is returning more and carbs are not getting it enough, as soon as we put the stock fuel rail it works and with these pipes it doesnt work

     

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  5. Hey Doc,

    Build looks like you're pretty much done, it's been a few months and I've got to say you've made a lot of progress, it's awesome to hear it running.  You may consider heat tape or even shielding around that turbo with the proximity to the rail and the lines and likely around that downpipe too since it's so close to the firewall.  That'll help prevent issues, if things got too hot.   I'm sure by now you've probably got a good tune in, so let us know how it's going.   

     

    What did you end up doing about the behind the dash wiring, and did you keep much of the original wiring, or did you replace the whole harness?

     

    Phar

     

    Sorry man couldn't do much in the car because of other things going on, still not through need to see few things now to finalize which direction to goto NA or Boosted.

     

    For wiring I removed almost all of the stock wiring and did some custom clean up along with ECU wiring

  6. Ok guys car was left stranded for sometime now because of working on another project which just finished

    Anyways as posted back in April did fit some Suzuki compressor brought the car back to the shop where I did pathfinder steering thing and we used the stock power steering pump with some machine work it manage to work nicely along with another additional bracket to hold the compressor, now single belt covering all.

    Coming to the steering rack used the stock (had to source another one) and with some combination of different u joints managed it nicely without touching anything. There is a rod holding bracket as well welded to the cross member, so far looks good without and with load

    Now another problem area, these all fits with turbo manifold removed, now still thinking of either using normal headers and remove the turbo or do some alteration in manifold and move turbo above the cross member, as block is NA and head from a turbo engine ported and polished there is a good chance it will run fine as NA, deciding in few coming days.

  8. Its a 26 head/ itbs with a set of NEO valve covers ( no PCV ). Unfortunately, I didn't have an extra set of RB26 covers laying around. The current valve covers came off my R34 after I did an RB26 swap. This head was also installed on said R34, but it was shaved for higher compression. It had a pinging issue at lower RPMs so I switched it back to an un modified head. A lot of parts on this motor are spares I had while living in Japan. The block was really the only thing I had to buy.

     

    Power is modest, but it sounds cool. Never got it dyno'd because no dynos in Oki, well at least that they let anyone use anymore. And it was never installed in a street legal, street driven car.

     

    Did the RB26 head easily on the 25DE block? and any specific reason for not using the 25DE head and just swapping the ITBs

  9. Nice Job.   could you detail how you mounted it a little better?   I'm very interested in putting my pump in the same area.

     

    Sure man will update my thread with more pics as car is another city and last I saw it was in April :) soon and if needed can get copies done for people. We used Suzuki Vitara compressor as Corolla was bigger as well

  10. I haven't finished it but after going through different ways of doing it finally managed to install the AC compressor in place of power steering pump with some custom brackets.

     

    Engine is not running so havent checked it but it seems fine

  11. Sorry I've been out on vacation...   So If you're going with the Toyota AC up where the PS would be, then you should be able to go back to the standard way of mounting the steering shaft without the Pathfinder do-hicky. Sounds like it'll simplify things a bit.   What Toyota AC pump are you going to use? I wonder if it'll fit the VQ35HR in the same location?   I was thinking I might go with Toyota prius electric AC. I wouldn't have to worry about much at all that way.

     

    We tried Toyota corolla compressor its slightly bigger for the place then managed to find one from Suzuki Vitara and made a bracket and it fits while not touching the body. There were some issues for pulley to be aligned which guy is working on. I think it would work on VQ35DE and HR as well as compressors seems to be same

     

    I got another cross member and stock steering rack will fit it in place of power rack and custom cross member but a bit worried if that will touch the turbo or not, seems very close to finishing yet so far.

     

    I thought of compressor off hybrid its small and can be placed anywhere but then it wont work on 12V but would need a converter.

  12. Car is getting Toyota AC compressor in place of power steering pump, we will start making a bracket today, this whole pathfinder thing seems to work with some braces but car cant be registered with any weld or unusual thing insdie the engine bay, will install stock one rack anbd cross member, want to just get over this thing it started boiling here again. Will update how it goes
