DuffyMahoney Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Well I have decided on ITB for my 240z build. My triple Mikuni 44s sound cool, but the smell of gas in my garage is driving me nuts. My HVAC unit is right next to my car in my garage and the fumes seem to move into the whole house. I also think the mikuni 44s are a bit much for a stock 2.4L, and I never dialed them in perfectly. I bought the jenvy 45s, injectors etc.. from Datsun Spirit. I will probably do a haltech elite 750 ecu. I got a hoke trigger kit for my stock 240z pulley and will do some sort of cam sensor from the dizzy spot. Goal is to look basically period but be EFI. I will re use my SK intake.

DuffyMahoney Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) I am designing up a coil bracket like the Blake machine one but uses nissan RB coils. This uses 2006 350z coils heads (Hitachi IGC0003 Ignition Coil) and spring. Then a boot from a 2005 Chrysler 300. They fit perfect.

HuD 91gt Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 If you are making a new bracket from scratch.... from experience a bracket which attaches to the valve cover is kind of annoying. Pending how often you remove your valve cover... if you can work around it maybe try something else? I used the two holes which mount just below the head. One is used for the heater hose mount.

DuffyMahoney Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 First test print to look at clearances. I think it will need to be angled more. I like the valve cover mount. It’s not perfect but it’s sturdy and easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not from scratch. All the hard work is done. The Blake bracket would already work if I could live with some of the things about it.

I will re use my SK intake. The gas smell drove me to EFI also. It worked well for me to shut the fuel off a couple of blocks from the house and empty the float bowls that way, but EFI is a better solution.

munters Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Those jenvey's look nice indeed. Still hoping someone will install once the heritages with feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuffyMahoney Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 I am sure the heritage work great. Same basic concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuffyMahoney Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 I just learned that my hoke 60-2 should be enough to get the ecu all the data it needs for the crank/ cam. Pretty neat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben280 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I'm running the Hoke kit (mine came with a 36-1 wheel) but yes, the ECU can get by with just that for input! Cam sensors are useful if you wanted to do truly sequential fire, but I think that's overkill in most "normal" applications. Kit looks awesome, excited to have more ITB cars in the world!

DuffyMahoney Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 Ben are you running wasted spark? I think the file is done and ready to cut and mount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben280 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Yes I am. Works pretty well, I was running into an issue with the LS2 coils not being hot enough, but switching to a Pertronix style seemed to have sorted it out. I think the 350z coils are super robust, so you should be all set! That bracket is amazing looking, kudos on some trick CAD work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuffyMahoney Posted August 15, 2019 Author Share Posted August 15, 2019 Bracket is done! I need to test a plug. But I think they will clear and be able to come on and off easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was using the LS1 coil packs, and upgraded to the Pertronix Flame-Thrower version (more voltage and better performance at high RPM), which outperforms the factory LS2 and is on par with the spiffy aftermarket LS2 replacements.

I haven't moved forward with purchasing the Ford coils yet so using the 350z coils instead would be appealing to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuffyMahoney Posted August 16, 2019 Author Share Posted August 16, 2019 You would have to drill and tap it. Also find a way to secure the coil better. Blake only allows for 1 attachment point. My bracket has the ring so the coil is rock solid. Either he or I will sell the brackets. Just waiting on a response from him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
