Datsun Parts Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Well the fabrication is finally done. I now need to tear it all out, polish, paint and clean it all up. The challenge will be to get all the wiring buttoned up. The pluming was a huge task. Routing the exhaust, power steering lines, transmission cooling lines, fuel hoses, radiator and heater hoses, A/C hoses, vac hoses, and cold air intake box took some real trail and error. Then more mods on the battery mount, throttle cable, dual fans, 4 row radiator filler, remote P/S res, and A/C compressor and radiator support frame. This project has been a lot of fun and still some work to do. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Looks real nice. Make sure you get some pic's of the rack mount when you get it torn down. :) Quote Link to comment
lil89ram50 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 i think it would be a lot cleaner and safer to move your computer and the extra relays, under the dash or in the glove box... Quote Link to comment

You fit all that in the 620 engine compartment!! :hyper: Larry Quote Link to comment
Creepy Cruiser Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 I like that fuel rail. Did you make it or buy it? Quote Link to comment
slow620 Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 That's awesome work, I love it....... Quote Link to comment
Datsun Parts Posted August 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Well this make take a little bit longer then I hoped for. There are what seems to be a million wires and to make them look clean, make sure they are hooked up right (1000 back and forth looks at the diagram) this is a bit of a project when I have about an hour a day of free time. I have to extend all the wiring that normally goes across the radiator about 2 feet and re-route them under the radiator. I get real anal about making sure it looks nice too so it will take some time. This is the engine bay a few months ago with the LZ 2.3. Here it is today... I just sold my 240Z supercharged project today so that's one one less car to work on. If you have not see that here it is. I also listed my Turbo car for sale on ebay today too so now its just on to the 620! Quote Link to comment

INDY510 Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 It looks like you are running a S14 KA ............... right? I am currently re-wiring my S13 KA24DE in the 710.............. It has been about 35 hours just to un-tangle the mess of wires,,, and unwrapped everything........... .. Trying to mount the ECU under the dash, and hide ALL the wires.... Here is a good link for tucking the wiring haness through the intake manifold: http://www.liquidmathematics.com/temp/EGR-Removal.pdf It's an adobe pdf file........ but it shows everything that can be removed from the intake manifold.......... and once the wiring is tucked under the manifold everything looks cleaner.... ......... I cut a 1-3/4" hole in the firewall right behind the intake so you can't even see any wires I have to extend all the wiring that normally goes across the radiator about 2 feet and re-route them under the radiator Why?............. is it the coil wires? The stock harness is WAY too long............... If you un-wrap half the wires you can gain enough slack to move the coil wires farther.... (I have 5 ft. of extra slack from under the dash to the coil............. that's the one set of wires that doesn't go through the intake mani.......... I routed them inside the cabin, across to the driver's side.... then inside the driver's side fender frame rail (by the hood release cable) Quote Link to comment
budsaipan Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Are you going to have any rack and pinion conversion kit for the 620s? Quote Link to comment
Datsun Parts Posted August 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 I am in about 10 hours just in wiring now and am ready to pull my hair out. Thanks for the advise and tips. The extension I referenced referred to was the headlight and parking lights. This will be a challenge I know! The rack was totally custom and will not be an option for just a kit. Requires a new steering joint too. Quote Link to comment
Datsun Parts Posted April 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 KA24DET Turbo conversion is coming along, getting the machine work finished up this week. Spent all day today removing all brake hard-lines. Since the turbo sits up where the Maser is I had to remove the booster. I am going with all custom stainless brake lines. I will post photos in the next few days. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Are you running a manual master? If so, what did you source it from? I like manual brakes in 4x4's. ;) Quote Link to comment
Datsun Parts Posted April 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 OK so making a bit of progress FINALLY. Here is the lower view that shows my empty engine bay and a mess of wires.
