Stock fuel hardlines flared for 5AN tube nut for 5AN to 6AN adapter. Then I'm thinking 45 degree hose ends would work nice.



Also had 6AN stainless males welded on the stock fuel pump hanger. Pressure tested up to 30 psi so will be fine at 0psi as my pick up pump for the surge tank.


Also dropped the whole rear suspension and diff last weekend. Unbelievably greasy and filthy and looked like those bolts/nuts had never been opened up since 93!! Will be pressing out the stock bushing before sandblasting and powdercoating all the arms.... I'm thinking clear powder would be pretty clean. Then press in the new SuperPro bushings. Will post pics soon.

Also gettin some ideas on lightening up the PPF... Since a trans and diff brace will be installed I figure I can sacrifice some PPF strength for lightness. Chop the center out and replace with lighter tubes?? We'll see.

 

oooooooooooohhhh yeaaaaa... WHere exactly do the two check valved lines sitting on top of your pump hanger go? I know one goes to the charcoal canister...but the other? My car smells like gasoline at all times LOL

 

There's one check valve for each side of the gas tank... the passenger side connects to the driver side and then to the charcoal canister. I'll be installing the canister back but keep in vented from there I guess. How do you have it now?

 

are you using the non-teflon stainless AN hose? (rubber innards)
i've experienced these having hairline cracks on the inner section of hose and stinking like gasoline.

 

Very nice built progress! We have really similar builds in a lot of respects.

Looking foreward to seeing you get it on the track!

 

Thanks man! I just checked out your build thread, looks great. Look like you might be on a track before me.

 

hmmm.... I think I capped them off.....but I think I might've left them vented for pressure. Maybe i'll run 2 hoses down and away from the cabin just for that reason I'll get back to you asap

 

Almost finished with making the oil filler neck out of aluminum... here's a shot of the bottom piece my friend machined with O-ring groove just like stock. The top part will be machined soon to match stock threads. We might make a few of these...

 

I'm in for more pics and depending on price take one.

 

In for two as long as the price is reasonable.

 

Oh, I want one of those filler-necks!

 

Would also be interested in a filler neck, can you share any more details? Breather fitting?

Wow, didn't think the demand was that high... I'll post pics of my finished neck as soon as it's done. I'm having it clear everything using the Xcessive LIM and welding on a -6 AN fitting for my catch can...then powder coating all semi-gloss black.

 

Perfect Matt black what I'd want

 

Would it be possible to get a an12 fitting instead :-P

 

Anything's possible....although a female NPT bung would probably be best so people can get any size AN adapter or hose barb they need for their application.

 

That would be even better!

 

We just finished the threaded piece for the stock oil cap...

 

The filler neck look really good, looking forward to the installed picture and pricing.

 

Awesome job!

 

i would totally buy one of these

 

What is the purpose of the holes drilled into the inlet portion on the bottom of the filler neck. I hope this isn't an attempt to eliminate oil puking out under boost due to blowby.

 

um... wow. Hi FD people, I'll follow this.

 

I decided to drill holes as a baffle because it can't hurt to help in high G force right turns... but we all already know the real fix is venting both sides of the motor. One off the oil neck and the other off the rear iron oil drain port. That method has only accumulated 2oz of oil in my catch can after 5 track days in the past.

 

Good to hear you know of the correct solution. I ended up venting my old setup out the front cover on the other side of the engine...never had any oil in my can whatsoever...just a little condensed fuel vapor at the end of track days. There is no oil in the front of the engine up high for oil to get caught up in, unlike the rear, but the rear is the easier default method and is effective.

Fantastic build btw and glad I found your thread.
