SR20DETdatsun510 Posted May 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 I know my DD Acura has a vacuum in it cause when I undo the has cap, I van hear the negative pressure release. So is the SR20 the same? I've tried searching but bo straight answer. If I had to vent it, how would o accomplish that without creating has fumes inside the trunk and car? Ps, this is the 1000th reply to my build thread! "Tell him what he's won Johnny!" "You've won a brand new car!" (kinda) Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 I have the stock vent from my tank going out one of the factory holes in the trunk to the back of the car on the underside Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted June 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Did some more work this weekend. Doesn't look like much but very time consuming.Found that the gas pedal was not hard stopping against anything and was pulling too hard onthe Throttle pulley. So I installed a hood stop in the firewall as a hard stop. So then I decided to finally install my oldschool NISMO pedals. 2 Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted June 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Got around to making the gauge extensions too. 1 Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted June 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Here is a finished assembly. I painted the clutch and brake pedal assembly satin black. Then installed the pedal covers. The 510's pedals are in funky locations in relation to the gas pedal. Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted June 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Finished the fuel filler neck too. Put a slight hand polish on it. Could use a real polish but its easy to remove so i'll get it done later. Got the Earls 90° -10AN 5/8 Hose fitting and the 2.25" fuel coupler installed. 1 Quote Link to comment

SR20DETdatsun510 Posted June 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Sick glad to see some progress. Me too brother ;) Now I need some help figuring out a clean way to fo some of the Vacuum Lines. My plenum has plenty of ports but they are all M10 threads. I also have two different sized plastic tubes. One is 5/32"(4mm) Diameter and the other is 1/8"(3mm) Diameter. I have looked and looked for some M10 Threaded Push to Connect Fittings with those tube Diameters but no luck yet. I can get M10 to Barb fittings but then I have to figure out how to get from the barb to the tiny plastic hose. The least amount of connections the better. Any Ideas Guys? This M10 Barb fitting comes with the Greddy Manifold. 1 Quote Link to comment
HEATHEN Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 I tapped my greedy manifold to 1/8 npt. Pretty easy with aluminum and 1/8 npt is readily available. My apologies you are dealing with larger diameter fitting. Sorry. Not sure if 3/8 is avaliable or not. Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted June 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Thanks for the input Heathen.Maybe I need to do a stepped thing.Not much room so a 90° M10 male to an NPT male.Then get a female push to fit connector.Problem is, is there a 90° transition out there like that?Looked but I will keep looking...

SR20DETdatsun510 Posted June 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Well, it's always the little things that Nickel and Dime you to death (Pun Intended) and stall your projects. Well, as you can see, I've been knocking them out one by one. Finally got a solution to my Plenum Vacuum Ports. Just went with an M10 to 1/8" NPT transition fitting. And since there is not much room between the firewall and my plenum, I went with 90 Deg Swivel Push to Connect Tube Fittings. 1 Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted June 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Also finally got my Couplers installed and had to buy, yet again, more T-Clamps. Damn things are $4 a pop. Just need a Cold Pipe in between them and I am 98% to starting her up! :run: 3 Quote Link to comment

SR20DETdatsun510 Posted June 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Found a solution to my vacuum port problems. Went and got an M10 to 1/8" NPT converter and then 1/8" and 5/32" Tube Push to Connect Fittings. I am actually asking the Store if they have ones that match. But you get the idea...
