SR20DETdatsun510 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Turns out to be a 3.7 gear R200. No wonder it is quick off the line. But a little low to be perfect for freeway cruising. Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Also got my dual fan controller wired up and installed with help from Akumazedex. Thanks dudemanbro! All self contained with relays and beakers all encapsulated in resin to protect the board and surface electronics from the elements. Has a pot to adjust initial fan temp and the second fan turns on 10° F later. Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 that looks clean as hell!!! Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Also picked up a set of these Password JDM Hood Risers for cooling purposes. (ok, for lulz, style and win too. Hahaha) They raise the rear of the hood about 3/4" to help heat to escape. :p BTW, they are advertised for use with the RSX. The mount hole pitch is literally 2 millimeters different than the 510. I have both so was able to verify if this block would work and it fits perfectly ;) Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 awwwww..... i dunno about that addition :/ Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Hahaha, purely functional to help heat to escape. This is a stroked motor and isa going top produce allot of heat. Any help with heat escapement is welcomed. Plus I'm a perv so these are perfect! LMAO Quote Link to comment
yellowdatsun Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 The problem with the hood risers, is that they really only work when the car is stopped. At speed there's a high pressure zone at the base of the windshield. Which is why most the American (Camaro and Mustang) guys have their hood scoops at the *back* of the hood, it's to let air *IN*.

aintnobiscuit Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 That fan controller is awesome! Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Well colder air "in" is ok too. Anything to cool stuff down. ;) Quote Link to comment
its_karl Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 I first saw hood/trunk spacing in Korea about 2002, wasn't too sure what to think of it as far as asthetics. If functionality is your pardon, then so be it :) Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted June 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Everything I have read says that air coming in from the rear of the hood helps to keep temps down. 1 Quote Link to comment
its_karl Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Wouldn't be ratsun if we didn't razz you a bit. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted June 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Not even a problem. Actually to the contrary. If someone has thoughts, good or critical, as long as it is constructive, I welcome and love it! Plus it will keep me honest and from making some ill mistakes... 1 Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Everything I have read says that air coming in from the rear of the hood helps to keep temps down. From all the research Ive seen, the negatives far outweigh the positives. I believe the last couple tests I saw done, lowered overall bay temp by ~10*, but by opening up the back of the hood, pressures drop as well. You need a decently high PSID to maintain the effectiveness of your radiator. They saw a marked increase in coolant temps that would more frequently kick on the fans and for longer periods of time to deal with the heat created. Personally, I feel that if I spent all this money on your build, I wouldnt want to overwork any of it over a $10 part thats not needed. Hell, youre in SoCal... just fashion up a CAI since there is minimal chance of water or run a highlight funnel or a NACA duct. All those last options will give you cooler intake temps without sacrificing the efficiency of your radiator. Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted June 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Maybe i'll do some experiments and see how they perform both ways. I am also wondering that if the sir is coming into the rear of the hood if it will keep the MC temps Down Since they are right there. I do know that when I removed my head light to get air into the intake, my maf didn't like the forced air. Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 So I finally got my fuel System all done.All except the Stainless fuel tank inlet. Waiting on a friend to fab me one up.Also going to spray a new coat of bed liner in the trunk to freshen it all up.On with the Oics: Quote Link to comment
aintnobiscuit Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Damn... love how that setup looks. 1 Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Thanks bro. It's simple but I think it will do the trick. Took me forever to make up my mind where to mount it all. Was going to do it in the spare tire well but didn't want to sacrafice storage. And in the future I may want to do a custom fuel cell and the other side is my battery so I settled on where it's at now. Quote Link to comment
aintnobiscuit Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 That makes perfect sense to me. I'm still not 100% sure where I want to mount the surge tank when I finish up my fuel system. I am definitely keeping a spare tire in the spare tire well and keeping stock gas tank for now. I would like to mount the same style of carpet I have in the interior to boards and cover the gas tank and spare tire so I have an actual trunk LOL... we'll see. It's not that important to me right now. Regardless, your setup is awesome with all that AN line and the giant bosch pump :D YAY! 1 Quote Link to comment

choleaoum Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Hey what tire size were you running on the 15x8 Impuls if you don't mind me asking? Quote Link to comment

Esteep Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Nice Set up! is that your stock gas tank? what did you do for the return lines? 1 Quote Link to comment
510_Dillon Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Damn! That fuel system setup looks clean! I dig it. 1 Quote Link to comment
