1973 Datsun PL620 build

[sanitys]

Why not have the inlet moved to the other side of the radiator?

 

Ive been told that since the rad is a single pass that it will not cool right if I get the upper one swapped over to the other side...in anycase i just ordered some silicone 90 degree bends, and ill grab some pipe from the hardware store and Ill do it that way for now.

 

for anyone that cares, the fiero rad is best suited for sr20's or L-series due to the inlet/outlet config.

[sanitys]

been a pretty productive weekend.

 

-mount fan and did the fan wiring

-changed oil

-hooked up speedo

-made the intake pipe

-did the maf/air intake temp wiring

-modified the d21 throttle cable to work. (probably could have made it shorter)

-made throttle cable bracket

 

I still have to make another hole into the cab for the wires, finish taping up the wires and install the grommets. Then it will look alot better in that area.

yes I have thought about running two fan. I will see how this setup works. The fan pushes 2500cfm so i should be good, but we will see how it does sitting in traffic. I could also make a shroud for it as well and see if that helps any overheating issues. Time will tell. Looks like i might be running this weekend :D

lol, after looking at it I can see how you would think that. No its a 1 inch piece of solid steel. Ask beebani, he sent it to me, I also have 1/2 pieces encase i needed it alittle lower. He used a 240 pan for the brackets he made. to get them to work with the truck pan I had to use those spacers.

 

 

on a side note, I was in the middle of a 3 car pile-up this morning on my way to work so the ford is at the body shop (hopefully getting totalled) and I have a rental car. Gotta get the datsun done asap now

[sanitys]

almost ready to start. waiting on a few things in the mail. Need to get another grommet and finish taping up the wires. the coil and horn was just temp mounting. Waiting for a fuel rail with an fittings to come in the mail and my aeromotive FPR

 

[sanitys]

i got the SI sub in the mail. I also got my fuel rail, fpr, and some more an-fittings in the mail. The new fuel system is almost done. I would have gotten more done today but we had that whole tsunami warning today, and they closed the road, so i had to wait to get back home. I will take some pictures of the new fuel system installed tomarrow after i hit up the junk yard for some parts. I mentioned I got into an accident in my ford, here what it looks like now, the body shop is waiting for parts. I had to stop there to grab a loaner car. oh, and a crushed datsun 720 king cab next door to the body shop.

thanks man. I get inspiration from your build threads here and over on ka-t.org. Maybe my engine and engine bay will be as clean as yours.

[polini]

Truck is sick. I got a ? I have a 91 hardbody with a ka24e can I use that fuel rail and same injectors with my stock ecu and throttle body.

You would need some way to tune the injectors otherwise you would be pig rich. stock injector size is 270cc. If you could find some msd style injectors that are close to the stock cc you might be able to use them.

 

If you dont have the 240sx intake manifold on your motor I don't think it will work.

[polini]

That sounds good I guess I better do more homework.
