shinobi x Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I have a 77 280z Carb engine and was wondering what you guys were doing to convert the gas pedal from the carb setup to a fuel injection setup to work on a SR20DET swap. I was thinking that I could get a gas pedal from a 240sx and install that or maybe something easier? Also I wanted to know if the fuel lines were good enough to be used to just add a stronger inline fuel pump. I have a walbro 255 and a after market fuel pressure regulator and was thinking that would be enough but wanted to make sure. Thanks!

What you will need to get is a throttle cable from a 240sx(DOHC) and use that on the sr20 and just modify a bracket for the pedal. The fuel lines should be ok unless they are bent or kinked and the walbro 225 is good enough to run the sr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinobi x Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 Great! The pedal was not what worried me as much as the fuel lines. Didn't want to starve the engine right on the first crank. Thanks for the reply. I can rest easy now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280zjoel Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 hehehe good to know i was able to answer your question. BTW here are some pics of my sr20 if ya want any ideas. I actually got the top mount idea from Alex and Adrian from Vildini Motorsports, they did a great job on my swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinobi x Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 Yeah I wish I had a good shop here to pay to do it but my trust runs thin when it comes to custom work here in GA. The top mount is a good idea but I have a greddy intercooler from the 240sx I sold. Gotta make it work. I'll post pics and let everyone know what I did. I want to make a little write up since there isn't much knowledge around here for others to research. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
