909/1000 Build thread

Thank you I will look into that...I have to go some sort of hard line. Something flexible will just not look right with a machined intake.

I like the idea of individual throttle bodies, this paired with equal length runners would be amazing. This would no doubt leave each cylinder with equal airflow without the need of a cad blueprint or virtual flow testing. I know runner size would have to be kept to a minimum but placing the tb (sans itb) at center of the runners underneath or over the top could solve that easily. Just a thought.

edit: then again this would never work without a chamber to speed up the in coming air and like said keep the motor happy at idle and part throttle.

here is a good thread on the progression of this Z cars intake/itb setup. click

Intercooler core came into today. Hoping the intake and manifold will be done soon.

 

[jeverts]

Got all of my exhaust manifold materials in and cleaned up the laser cut finish on the outside for a more clean finish.

 

[jeverts]

While I am waiting on my exhaust manifold to get done I figured I would start on my sending unit.



Op1



Op2



Op3 I put in the 3/8 NPT holes

I modified a OEM gasket to work with the holes that I riv nuted



Here is the finished Top hat



I have 2 other brackets that I need to make yet to hang the fuel pump. Once everything is test fitted I will send this out for anodizing.

I am still looking at bulk head wire fittings to and I didn't want to put the hole in yet till I find one that will work.

Progress is looking great! Love that sending unit.

 

[GSXftw]

Doin very cool stuff, keep it coming

 

[prove_it]

Mike Valencia will want a fuel sender unit too. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif

 

[GSTwithPSI]

So jelly of your access to a CNC machine...

 

[jeverts]

Finished up the billet parts on the sending unit tonight.

 

[undrpressure23]

love the custom machine work, great job so far

 

[Ralli380Gvr4]

Hell yeah! Looks like a great start to a fun project. I am also a fan of the machine work.
Keep it flowing, it looks killer.

Thanks guys

Has any tried to relocate the power steering pump to the back of the motor?

 

[prove_it]

Never seen it done. I think running new lines has stopped many people from that. Don't see why not though. Just need new pressure/return lines and a relocated fluid resivour.

 

[89Patches]

A guy local to me has done it. Just made his own lines for the the rack and reservoir

[jeverts]

Awesome that would work great. I Just need the PS out of the way to get the turbo and manifold setup the way I want it. Pictures will ensue.

 

[prove_it]

Where will the alternator go then?

 

[jeverts]

In the stock location.
