NCR CA18DET 510 build

How well did those welds penetrate on your tranny crossmember? Personally I would of got something other than flat stock to hold my tranny. I know its 1/4" thick, but you would be supprized at what kinda torque can be placed on that trans mount.

 

yes they did but the slag just drooped down because i was welding upside down, i dont think it would bend or break i am not going to be running a ton of hp. i should be fine lol

[BACARDI_DWB]

Yeah I understand about the slag, but what I am concerned with is the flex when you hit a bump or something, you pretty much have it sitting on a leaf spring, its not going to be very solid at all, it may feel kinda sloppy for gear changes. Just a thought...

[NCRmtrsprts510]

hmm yea now i get what your saying, ill see how this does at first and if it moves around too much then ill think about reinforcing it somehow..

if it seems sloppy. What you could do is weld a flat bar verticle to give it some ridgity. Pretty much make your own L type channel. That would help it not flex anymore

i like that idea but i would take it a step further and tie the new vertical part into the "feet" of the cross member this will make it alot stronger especially if its all made out of 1/4 inch plate damn thing will be stronger then the car your bolting it ot

[NCRmtrsprts510]

yea that would increase the strength by a lot, ill keep that in mind and see whats up when i get this sucker running. but its gonna be a couple months before shes done, because i dont know if u guys know but i am only 19 years old, and i dont make a lot of money.. so stay tuned! :cool:

Yayer! Nice work man! I've been watching from the side lines and I love your car it looks tough! Your gonna have fun with this one! I't looks like the urban asault 510!

[NCRmtrsprts510]

Turbo lines are on!

 

[b210in]

Turbo lines are on! what are the specs of the turbo? are you going to run bigger injectors? nistune or aftermarket ecu?

[hang_510]

5. Fuel cell

 

 

12. Driveshaft Shortened and balanced

 

PM me for details if you still need a fuel cell, 15G IIRC.

 

 

 

dunno dimensions, but there is a shortened wagon DS in SF (listed here - im considering a trade it for my stock wagon DS) but may work for you

[sssr20det510]

Thoughts???

looks like a pretty big turbo what size is it

[NCRmtrsprts510]

turbo is 63 a/r turbine 50 a/r compressor.

 

i might need to run bigger injectors, idk yet. and then probably running a AFC for tuning..

[NCRmtrsprts510]

 

i cut the gauge holes and made a tranny hump cover, and soon i will be finishing that heat shield for the master.

[bonvo]

why not run more gauges? you have all that space i know i would want every gauge possible

[NCRmtrsprts510]

i am dont you worry! next to it in the middle is gonna be 4 more gauges: Boost/Vac, Oil Press, Voltmeter and clock?? apparently they dont make A/F ratio gauges in 2-5/8" :confused:

[NCRmtrsprts510]

pushed her out of the garage to get a little tan, and turn her around so i can do the fuel system next week.

 

[b210in]

your shit is looking pimp. i diggin the little fat wheels. i was originally going run a set like that but i did the 280zx front brake swap and now cant clear 13's.

 

when you get around to doing your harness and attaching it to your 510 fuse box, the orange wire is what tells the ecu it's time to turn on the engine, if you don't connect this wire you will have a hard time trying to get it started. have you had a chance to review ratsun forum member Icehouse's diaghram? it's in the how to section. i followed that diaghram to the last detail and my shit ran on the first try.

[NCRmtrsprts510]

yea im using his diagram too, and followed it specifically, ill look for the orange wire next week to see if i hooked it up when i get back with all my fuel system stuff. then hopefully next weekend she should be running. B)

[NCRmtrsprts510]

for the FPR... i have an aftermarket one, but it is an inline one, so should i mount it after the stock FPR?? or what?

 

some goodies...

 

Wiring mounted, ECU is mounted inside the glove box.

AFCO Radiator

SS hardlines, Fittings, walbro pump, fuel filter, regulator, fuel hose

fuel cell

 

:cool:

[inline4]

I'll race you once I move back to the bay area come august :)

[b210in]

dude, i have not been able to wrench on my shit. i will definitely get to it this 3 day weekend. what lines do you need me to point out first?

 

if you are installing an aftermarket adjustable fuel pressure reg, get rid of your old one. you don't need to run it.

[NCRmtrsprts510]

but how am i supposed to get the fuel from the rail to the aftermarket regulator, cause the fpr doesnt bolt on to the rail...

 

i also need to find a dropping resistor..

You run the regulator on the return line that heads back to the tank, after the fuel rail.

 

I didnt read the whole post, but What turbo is that? (please dont say chinese Ebay turbo.....).
