Atomic Posted December 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Ahh, I'm alive. I need community help! Where could I find Bump steer spacers for my car? Quote Link to comment
Atomic Posted December 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Oh and also the engine bay is ready and so is the front. I have had a bad luck with cars, I don't have any working dailydriver for winter use... But I'm moving to the passenger side for some bodywork. Also money problems in family, can't buy new parts like crazy, so I need to wait till I can effort to buy ECU Quote Link to comment

Atomic Posted January 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 True that, but I'm just a poor student ;) I need to save more money to buy other things. Quote Link to comment
dukerollo Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Great build. I am looking forward to more updates. Also, were your b310 wagons coil sprung in the rear? I thought that they had leaf springs. Quote Link to comment

Atomic Posted January 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) I was bored and I made a little 3D model for Ram air intake: This way I would be able to remove some friction caused by cone-like shaped aircleaners, because my model will ram more air through the filter when driving. Only problem would be that the aircleaner would get really dirty... But there should be washable aircleaners from K&N. And maybe I should make a cover that would prevent extra mud or water to get trapped in the filter when weather is bad. Edited January 29, 2015 by Atomic Quote Link to comment
TENDRIL Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 I don't mean to be tht guy... But it doesn't quite work that way. the faster you go the more air your car needs and it's not going to build mani. Pressure any more than idling , it's actually going to decrease mani. Pressure driving faster. Thus that's where your turbo comes in. I hope you under stand that. 1 Quote Link to comment

Pressure driving faster. Thus that's where your turbo comes in. I hope you under stand that. I guess you're right, maybe I exaggerated. But still it's better solution than being in hot engine bay. But you got me thinking and I made this little exel-thingy: Note: theoretical numbers CFM boost shows how much air the engine is going to ingest while driving. And the airflow rate (K) is how much air the filter area is going to catch. And yes, this is theoretical model and no air restrictions are calculated. Equations used: Maximum boost - chapter 5, page 56 Airflow rate for intake Maximum boost - chapter 3, page 27 Airflow rate needed (engine) Maximum boost - chapter 3 page 28 Airflow rate boost 1 Quote Link to comment

Atomic Posted February 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 I'm currently trying to find a decent and quiet oil scavenge pump that would go fit after the turbo and pump the hot oil to oil cooler and then back to sump (and maybe DIY oil cooling piston jets). But... I can only find good 12V from USA and they're expensive as hell + import taxes and shipping... jeez.. Electric pump, because I don't think that stock A-series pump would deliver enough pressure to both cooler and turbo. But If someone knows where to get high pressure pumps for A-series engines, please post link below :) Quote Link to comment

TENDRIL Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Well one pump is better than two, only one cause of possible failure. If the electric pump fails how would you know? No oil pressure light ? I understand it would be its on circuit right, suck hot oil from the pan cool it, throw it back into the pan right? Or suck hot oil cool it send through turbo or head?

Might be, I could get a pressure gauge after the electric pump. I was planning to suck hot oil straight from turbo(because it's the last component in the oil loop), cool it and then throw back in the pan. I found an electric pump priced at 97e but I need to know its operating temperature, going to send email to the seller. Besides the electric pump wouldn't need to generate much pressure at all, just enough to get through the cooler and spraying the cooled oil to the pistons Quote Link to comment
TENDRIL Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 So than you should be fine running a standard oil cooler, with stock pump, it's not going to be a huge difference either way, yes it will be a bit cooler, but not like it going to be cold Quote Link to comment

Atomic Posted February 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Or I can't, because my turbo bearing type is Journal bearing instead of ball bearing (which requires less oil pressure). So hmm... If I get the electric pump, I probably should put it before the turbo, I need more time to think. Quote Link to comment
Atomic Posted February 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Any good sites for datsun parts? I just need the catalog part codes for my coupe. found some parts on http://www.abouttimespares.com.au/ and http://www.datman.co.uk/stocklist.htm but couldn't find what i'm looking for: speedometer and other dash instruments.
