Parts I'm planning on collecting over the winter:
Vibrant intercooler
Synapse Synchronic WG and BOV
oil cooler
One piece steel driveshaft
ID 1000cc injectors
Spec aluminum flywheel
Spec Stage 3+ clutch

I also have some work to do in the interior, and plan on stitch welding most of the car and possibly doing tubs in the front.

Shooting to get it tuned next summer, and completely finished by next fall. Still needs alot of work, but I'll be starting on the money sucking piece of metal this week, and I'll post updates as I make progress on this current monstrosity.

I will order an aeromotive 340 with a boost-a-pump, which should be more than enough

If you don't want to sump the tank, mount another pump with the exitsting one in the tank.

Surge tank isn't needed and a waste of time trying to build and fit.

ps. how many times have people had a Walbro pump fail. I haven't known anyone yet.

I would rather run a boost a pump myself. In fact the aero pump flows 400lph@ 17v, 60psi; and 330lph @17v; 90psi

]]>https://fargostreet.com/post/306801https://fargostreet.com/post/306801Mon, 17 Jan 2011 15:15:38 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to s13 240sx build on Mon, 17 Jan 2011 04:43:46 GMT]]>my plan right now is to use the walbro to feed a surge tank, then run a bosch 044 from the surge tank. Im thinking i'll run a 50psi base, and the boost reference will bring it up accordingly, i figure roughly 80 psi max. the injectors at that pressure flow almost 1300cc. The 044 should be able to keep up with that. that aeromotive is a nice option though....

I suspect you will be out of pump with that walbro trying to run high pressure to compensate.
Aeromotive is now releasing and will be tested in the coming weeks a drop in walbro replacement that is 340lph at 43.5psi vs the walbros 255. It will be $180 and looks to be the answer for all the intank pump users. I would be on the lookout for a bigger injector, maybe see if you can trade yours in on them if they are unused, and try to keep pressure down to 40psi or so base

Same ones I have, idle awesome

Good injector choice
Thanks, although I'm starting to wonder if they will be big enough...it seems like i'm going to have to run them up to like 80psi to get them to flow enough fuel...

I might have something that could work for you. Good to see this thing getting somewhere.

When you need it, I have the tools for adjusting the valves(unless you have bought one) as well as a bunch of shims.

Started cleaning out the engine bay and taking out stuff I dont need anymore. I cut out the battery tray too, that sucked ass. Also pulled the engine bay harness out so I can go through it and check all the wires to make sure they are good, and to add wires I need, and take out ones I dont. I also got everything to start getting the motor more assembled. I was like a 2nd christmas over the last week, a bunch of parts came :icon_cheers: I ran into a snag tonight, I need to get longer spacers made for the fuel rail, the ID1000 injectors + xcessive mani ends up with a much larger gap than what the spacers came with for the oem fuel rail. Pics!

Parts!

Its gettin there slowly but surely, needs lots more time and money tho :icon_pale: Feels good to be making progress again after a couple years of it sitting though. Comments, suggestions, and flames welcome 😄

Got some more parts, a Skullworks oil block adapter, some AEM pencil coils, an Aeromotive A1000 FPR, and a set of Supertech cam followers (lifters). I sent the head to the machine shop for a 3angle valve job, and then proceed to assemble the head. I also put the oil block adapter on and installed the Xcessive windage tray/crank scraper, and had to do only a slight amount of clearancing for the crankshaft. Im waiting for a couple more things, hopefully the longblock will be completely assembled in the next couple weeks.

I never had the cougar dynoed but the E7's I ported seemed to flow really well beyond the RPM range where most "stock" 302's fall flat on their face. Keep up the good work, it looks so much better with the new paint and wheels, can't say I'm a fan of the wheel color tho.

Waiting on a some valve seals and it will all go back together hopefully towards the end of this week.
