1969 bluebird coupe sr20 build

[goichi1]

yea, the ZX cup is plastic, it had two or three bendy tabs spot welded to the tank, the plastic cup had slots for the tabs to go through, you just slid them through and bent the tabs down....that's it. I didn't weld any tabs in, I simply let the pump housing hold it in place, it's impossible for it to move once the pump is installed. The pump even has a rubber foot that will press up against the plastic cup and hold it down to the bottom of the tank. As long as you get the length of the pump housing right it holds fine. I think this is by far the best way to add an EFI pump to the car without altering the appearance or messing with trying to fit some other tank or electric pump.

SX in-tank pump conversion is documented here:

DQ Volume 6 Issue 2 - EFI In-tank Fuel Pump Installation: -- EFI engines need high-pressure fuel delivered to them. With EFI engine swaps becoming more common amongst Dimers, supplying adequate fuel becomes another issue on the To Do list. This article will detail the installation of an in-tank EFI fuel pump into a Datsun fuel tank.

Available at The 510 Archives.

NBD = No Big Deal.

We don't know which mods. In any case you can get aftermarket pumps that are uprated should you need it. They'll replace the factory pump unit itself, but you'll still need the rest of the assembly to bolt it into.

yea, you got to figure, the ZX turbo is a 6 cylinder, with a turbo, that's 2 extra injectors, so I think it will do pretty good with moderate mods. but I am no modification calculator, but like Julian said, you can buy direct fit high performance pumps for the zx, which will now fit your newly installed zx pump housing. I think the year you want is 86/87 300zx. There's one in the local yard here, but i can't remember if its a turbo or not, I will probably go and pull it soon for a future project.......

Sorry for all the questions but the wilwood kit comes with the master cylinder, the bluebird sss comes with like a brake booster do they work together?

[goichi1]

Did you really look through my thread?? if you are getting the kit from Troy ermish, it will work, but you will need to do a few small mods to get it to fit. You will have to mill out the small brake master mounting plate that mounts it to the booster. There might have been something else, but can't remember, but I do know it will work, because I used it.

I even put the newer master on my wagon, since I have it off I can probably take a pic of that mounting adapter that I milled out, I just used a de-burring bit on my die grinder to mill it out to fit. It wasn't that hard. I know it works because I did all this before I tore my wagon apart to do the SR swap. Here's a pic of it installed.

Do you have a build thread for the wagon too? I was reading your coupe build

Back to in-tank pump mods:
Some folks have used a Q45 tank flange and Q45 in-tank pump for the mod. Might be easier to find, cheaper, and flow should be fine if it can feed that Infiniti V8. Might be worth looking into.

Dammn ...... I saw those 15x8.5's on yahoo Japan right before you won the auction a couple months ago

I knew they would fit a 510 with a mild pull on the rear fenders,, you already have that .... you'll need (unmodified) stock camber / rear trailing arm pivots, and maybe slightly streched tires

Never seen a pair of longchamps that size/offset ..... what's your plans for tires? ... 225/45 might fit.... or 205's ...... 195/45/15 Toyo's look "okay" on 15x9's
