schwiplarkin Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Well after about a year she's finally running. heres the setup. L28t block P91 head ported and polished Custom intake (well its actually the stock one but all cut up and welded) t3/t4 turbo Holley 750 Direct port nitrous Water injection and alot of other stuff I cant think of. Just got finished wireing her the other day and she fired right up. havent driven it yet except for some burnouts in the driveway. I plan on taking her to the dragstrip soon.

Clifton Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Pretty cool. let us know how it does. Is that the wastegate poking up out of the intake manifold? If so You might want to route the dump back down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete84 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 What are the advantages of a draw through carb? Cooling the charge, atomization? Nice deal with the RHD, more room to work with the turbo ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnZ Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Don't forget to clip those multi colored wire ties under the drivers door. Have you been to McDonalds yet? It's always fun to see the whole kitchen come out and the see the guy who " is on the wrong side of the car" . I've drove through backwards a couple times, thats good for little attention too. Great Car, good job!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlderThanMe Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Very unique indeed! You would definitely want to route the wastegate gasses elsewhere. Don't want to melt a hole in your VC... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmonster80 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Glad to see another old school skyline member who is working on there car and not pipe dreaming. Keep it up.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schwiplarkin Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 Hair faced monster!!! thats fuckin hilarious. as far as the draw through setup goes, i pretty much did it just to do something different. my brother and some other guys i know do a similair setup on old air cooled vw's, so i thought i would try it on a nissan. Arnie, thanks for reminding me about the zip ties, i have a lot of cleaning up to do, five different colors and lots of them. yes I have been too lazy to make the wastegate dump pipe, the paint on the valve cover is already melting. i have only driven it a few blocks since im afraid of getting pulled over right now.

WizardBlack Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Wow the paint is melting and you haven't even really opened it up yet?!? Whew. Be careful. Lots of fuel lines and whatnot running around everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of fuel lines and whatnot running around everywhere. Fuel lines on the drivers side (Right), unless its got Air con, not much is down there to be in the way, except the paint work.

He's got fuel hard lines all around his wastegate for his direct port wet kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myplasticegg Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 That is freakin' sweet! You might just want to get rid of that worm gear clamp on the charge pipe and put a t bolt clamp on it. If that bad boy pops off, it'll get messy with all of that fuel splashing around and whatnot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noddle Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 He's got fuel hard lines all around his wastegate for his direct port wet kit. my mistake, your are right, I didn't look at the picture, I assumed it was running where the 'standard' lines ran..

m4xwellmurd3r Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Haha, sweet setup there. It's nice to see a draw through on something OTHER than a vw. I've never really understood if there were any advantages, except maybe the fuel/air mixture is pressurized inside the turbo? Or maybe it had something to do with the when you let off the gas..... Anyways, you need to upload a vid when you get that wastegate pipe made up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No real advantages that I know of. it is a very unique setup and should run nice. But it is a whole lot easier to pull air through a carb then it is to push air through a carb!

schwiplarkin Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 actually its alot better to blow through for a few good reasons. all you really need is a blow through prept carb, there are a couple of good companies that build them, csu is the best that i know of. you also need a blow off valve . the most benificial reason for a blow through is you cant run a intercooler with a draw through becouse the whole system is full of fuel so if you have a backfire through the intake the whole thing goes boom!! also the throttle responce with a blow through is supposedly better. thanks for the possitive responces and sorry for all the miss spellings, its really late for me and i have drank way too much.
