Racin_Jason Posted August 7, 2002 Share Posted August 7, 2002 Hey gang, Finally found the RIGHT elbow fittings to run as a feed point in my stock tanks drain plug hole. I got all the shiny new AN goodies and socketless hose sitting here. I'd like some opinions on fuel line and fuel pump placement for my 71 240Z please. Im was lookin at the space between the tank and the subframe for a possible mounting point for the fuel pump. My pump is close in size to a Holley Blue. Its a 140gph Summit pump. Pics of brackets, mounting and line placement would be great! Thanks guys, Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73BOTIZ Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 Jason, I have my pump mounted on one of the flat plates that the lower control arm bolts to, and my billet fuel filter is mounted to the other plate on the other side. I can take a pic this weekend if you are interested. Mike D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z ya Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 Hey Jason, I dont think you need to do the drain plug mod for fuel. I am using the factory outlet with 3/8's line there after . Remeber that I was pig rich when I dynoed all the way to 6500 rpm. Needless to say I had plenty of fuel! I would just leave it the way comes from the factory. Works good for me! I went with a Summit 110 gph pump and regulated it to 6 psi! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z ya Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 Thats cool Jason, I feel ya. Right now I just am in the process of removing the exhaust so I can build a brace so the pinion wont hit the e brake under power. I tried the cable thing but it doesnt work that well, still hits! After the brace is done, I am probably going to bite the bullet and go with a 3000 stall. I hate playing catch up! If I can get this sucker to cut 1.6 or 1.7 60 foots it will crush most street cars in the area. After that then goes in the cage and seats. I am hoping to keep it under 2500 after its all said and done. Then its strip time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racin_Jason Posted August 10, 2002 Author Share Posted August 10, 2002 Mike, If its not to much hassle, yes id like to see your method. I have nothing to compare to since I havent found any pictures of peoples fuel systems, although Im sure there are some somewhere (where??). Thanks much! Zya, I thought about your method for a long time. Why I decided to run a 3/8" tap and line all the way is this. The car will see alot of 'spirited' freeway time. This is the perfect situation to make any bottlenecks in the fuel system show up. I figure that being in the gas for long periods of time like this will burn through the gas in the 3/8" line up to the 5/16" feed in fairly short order..and that 5/16" will have to feed the engine at high revs. At the sake of running lean and possibly surging the engine at high speed..Im goin 3/8" all the way. So, hows the car doing? Im always up for a report on my cars twin! Any 1/4 mile times yet? Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z ya Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Hey Jason, I forgot to tell you that I was going 130 on the dyno in 3rd gear at 6500 rpm. Not hint of fuel starvation. 10 to 1 all the way to redline ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
