  1. I am using the McKinney mounts and found the fittings were very close to the hood catch. Not much room if you ever want to remove rocker cover. I tried to remove and could not do it so....

    ... I removed old fittings (they are just pressed in), sawed off old boss and had them welded closed, and had a new set of "bungs" welded on.

    Then I filed flat and had them powder coated.

    I plan on using union with 90 degree elbow on hose running to catch can, but you could use "T" and link them back to original config.

  2. I just replaced the floors in my 70 240Z. The multiple layers are where seams connect the floor to the front, rear, and frame rail. The frame rail only goes part way back. Here are some pictures.

     

    Start on R/H side

    Drill spot weld and remove seat brackets.

    Hope this helps.

  3. Nice. I'm curious how much mine weighs now, ie. how much was added with the swap. Do you remember what it was when you first did the swap? I figure it has to be like 2500 at least.

     

    I weighed my '70 Z before the swap as follows...

    LF 578 RF 644

    LR 530 RR 500

     

    Total 2252 lbs

    Should be interresting to see how much it changes.

  4. Looks good, just wanted to note that you really should try to take the mat up the firewall as much as you can as well as cover the entire rear deck of the car, LOTS of sound coming from behind you.

     

    Doesn't it get too hot on firewall for the glue on the Dynamat? Isn't there something else that should be used in a high heat area?

  5. 1970 240Z w/Mckinny mounts, RB26DETT engine and RB25DET Trany.

     

    Overall... plenty of room.

    Like you said, need to make some room for the speedo pickup.

    I am working the floor pans and frame rails at this moment, I will get around to that later.

  6. Here are some pictures.

     

    Think of everything upstream (intake manifold) of ITB's as boost and everything downstream (balance tube, vacuum chamber) of ITB's as vacuum.

     

    This shows the two lower boost lines. (green and blue on your diagram).

     

    Green is boost. Goes to wastgate and prex control solonoid. Do not use for BOV. This remains boosted when lifting throttle because it is upstream of ITB's.VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

    This shows the two vacuum lines that are in air chamber. (brown, yellow)These are downstream of ITB's and provide vacuum when lifting throttle.

    VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

    They get their vacuum inside the chamber from the two big hoses on either side of chamber, which are connected to the balance tube. This is for BOV

     

    -Fuel canister. Fuel vapors from fuel tank get put here and sucked in engine. Don't need it.

  7. I'd like to see pics of it all laid out where we can see exactly what your getting. I know Rob is the Man when it comes to RB fabrication... I'd just like to see it first :)

     

    Yup, I'm sure it will a quality product, but let's let Rob figure out the details first. I'm thinking this will work out well. So how do the group buys work?
