KA620KC Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Heres my build thread. http://community.rat...__1#entry397533 Last page has the wires. If you would like better pics, I'll be more then willing to take more.:D Dude that would help me out TREMENDOUSLY if you could take a few detailed shots of which wires are tapped. I'm sure i've got it right but I just feel a little uneasy with wiring. Like I said I'm sure its easy but I just hate tapping into factory wiring. I think I'm down to just running the power to the relays and I think the starter switch wire, which I can't seem to locate in the KA harness. Also what, if any wires are rehooked up from the 620 harness? Do I need to piggy back any of the 620 wires like the one for the alternator? And do I re-attach the battery cable from the 620? Sorry for so many questions but I'm really wanting to get my baby running by my birthday as a gft to myself :P Quote Link to comment

I sent it off to Beebani a ratsun member and he did it for me. But i will for sure try to take as many pics as possible for you.:thumbup: Quote Link to comment
KA620KC Posted March 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Damn its been a while since I updated on here. But thats what happens when you move!! Yeah I found a much bigger place with a 2 car garage!!! Woo hoo!!! I gots room to breathe! It was getting a bit difficult to manuver in a one car garage with the 620 in it along with a 350 on a stand, my cherry picker, tool boxes and all the other crap that ends up in the garage. But anyway the update on the 620 is that it runs!! Well not on the streets but I got her all wired up and she starts. I had my first set back with her, the fuel return line was leaking apparently I didnt tighten the clamp down all the way but thats fixed. Now its time to take the driveshaft and get her chopped down to size and then hit up the DMV for registration!!! Quote Link to comment
KA620KC Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 So I FINALLY got her running!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOHOOOO!! Heres a short clip of it running. Quote Link to comment
620Reaper Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 What fuel pump did you use and where did you mount it... Cant wait till my runs. :D So jealous right now.:poop: :thumbup: Quote Link to comment

Cant wait till my runs. :D So jealous right now.:poop: :thumbup: I do believe it is an airtex E2000. Same pump used on many fords. I mounted it where the factory filter used to be. But I may move it closer to the tank. I've been told it might be too far away. And my filter is mounted right next to it. I'll take a picture of it today on my lunch. Gonna get the driveshaft cut down this week!!!! Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 The Airtex E2000 is the one I used also, I mounted mine on the frame rail near the stock electric fuel pump location. It's on the inside of the frame rail though. Haven't had any issues with mine. I also ran a filter before it and another one at the intake. Quote Link to comment

I haven't checked to see if there is a spot to put my electric pump where an electric pump "would" be if I had that option. I'm only running one filter though. Is your pump noisy?? Mine seems to be a little on the loud side. Here's where I mounted mine: Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 from what thepics look like you have it mounted metal to metal with the trucks fuel pump holder... thats all the noise right there... this pump would be alot quieter with at least a piece of rubber wrapped around where the clamps are.. lol wrap the shit out of it and itll prolly make all the noise go away... lol Quote Link to comment
Guest DatsuNoob Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 I'm a big fan of commercial neoprene. You can find it in 12"wide rolls at most hardware stores, it's 1/8" thick and perfect for alot of car stuff I've found. They use it for anti-vibration mat under dishwashers and stuff.

]2eDeYe Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 The pump I bought came with a neoprene pad. It's also way in the back by the tank. I can't hear it at all. I'll try to get a pic if I remember, but no making fun of my zip ties. :lol: Quote Link to comment

KA620KC Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 ok question for anyone with a KA, is the oil pressure switch tied into the fuel pump relay?? I was having issues getting power to the relay for the fuel pump so I bypassed it to an ignition switch. I would like it to run correctly off the fuel pump relay wire. But I've noticed my motor had an aftermarket oil pressure switch and it isn't connected to anything as of yet. Do I need to connect that back in and if so should my fuel pump turn on??

From what Ive read from some Ford forums they say this pump puts out at least 100 psi. Can this pump be regulated or is it a good thing that it puts out so much because of the placement of the pump? Does anyone know what the psi should be on a KA swap? I got this info from a 240 forum "43.5PSi with vac. with out vacuum it's like 35.". :huh: Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Fuel rail pressure is determined by the pressure regulator. I think the E2000 is 90psi max. Works excellent. Quote Link to comment

KA620KC Posted April 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 She's on the road!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pissed off the neighbor across the street at the same time!! =) He thought I was "speeding" up and down the road. However I was a responsible "Ratsuner" and was doing the speed limit, however due to my "open headers" she was roaring hehehehehe. Quote Link to comment

KA620KC Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 now thats she's running I just gotta figure out my guage set up. But God damn!!! She's is a beast on the streets!! You definitely gotta "feather" the throttle when taking off. If not you might as well let it slide! It sure as hell is fun though! Quote Link to comment
KA620KC Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 So my first gremlin is my alternator isn't putting out a charge. Is there anything else I needed to connect to the alternator after doing the KA swap?? Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 . There should be a small wht/red stripe wire coming from the stock 620 wiring that went to the 620 alternator it's not the bigger 12 awg wht/red wire ......... .. it should be 16-18 awg ......... it needs to be connected to the "T" plug on the KA altenator Quote Link to comment
