RB30X Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 Either run gauze before the LP intank pump, then a HP filter after your HP pump. Or in cases with a surge tank, you run an LP pump through an LP filter into the surge tank whcih recirculates the fuel back into the fuel tank 'cleaning' it, then a HP filter after your HP pump whcih sucks from the surge tank.

Ben Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 That sounds like a plan. I have a speedflow filter on the intake to my Bosch 910, but will be re fitting a surge tank, so things will get a little busier at the tank... Quote
Roberto Posted January 25, 2012 Author Posted January 25, 2012 There has slowly been some more progress in the engine bay. I have have done all the necessary boging, sanding and treated the entire engine bay with Fertan rust converter. This sprays on and gets into all the nooks. I then etch primed (white) for a nice grab to the dried converter coat and then primed (mustard). This will be sanded with 320 to get a smooth finish before paint. Quote
Ben Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Make sure you get paint under the radiator support panel top ledge and inside the foot-vent duct holes. There's that many layers of steel squashed together in some of these areas that it's easy to miss a spot. Quote
peter mc Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 good stuff mate .. hurry up i wont a drive Quote
Roberto Posted January 25, 2012 Author Posted January 25, 2012 Thanks for the support guys. Well, I wasn't inspired by anything on TV tonight, so i gave it that light sand and applied 4 coats of satin black.......Still a bit shiny as it is still drying. Quote
peter mc Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 GO ROBERTO the l29 will be in by the morning lol Quote
Roberto Posted February 4, 2012 Author Posted February 4, 2012 GO ROBERTO the l29 will be in by the morning lol Well, not quite L29 in, but some progress today. Am using SS bolts and nuts on everything. Also managed to source a new reproduction RS30 id plate from zeddsaver. Quote
Corsa224 Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Looks stunning, the small things make all the difference Quote
FuzzyDropbear Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 That id plate looks a million bucks compared to the old faded and dented ones rest of bay looks very nice too, black is always a winner for engine bays IMO. Quote
Riceburner Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Are these plates exactly the same and stamped to suit your chassis or is that part DIY? Mine is Jap do they have them? Quote
peter mc Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 nice work mate id expect that from you, that will be one nice zed when your done Quote
Roberto Posted February 4, 2012 Author Posted February 4, 2012 Are these plates exactly the same and stamped to suit your chassis or is that part DIY? Mine is Jap do they have them? Gareth, they are identical to the original ones but no engine or chassis number. It can be stamped on, but I won't just yet. I don't know if they have jap ones. Check out his website. http://zeddsaver.com/ Quote
peter mc Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 hehhe the hp is very wrong should say 286 at 6500 and l29 Quote
Roberto Posted February 11, 2012 Author Posted February 11, 2012 Good progess this week. Had SS brake lines made up and did some plumbing of the new fuel lines. Engine will be dropped in very soon. Quote
RB30X Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Looks good mate. FYI, those are high pressure speedflow fittings and you'll only need low pressure ones which are 1/3 of the price. Quote
Roberto Posted February 12, 2012 Author Posted February 12, 2012 Looks good mate. FYI, those are high pressure speedflow fittings and you'll only need low pressure ones which are 1/3 of the price. No these are Earls fittings. I do not know of any low pressure AN fittings. Are you referring to the clamp style hose ends? If so, yes they are definitely cheaper. I did consider them but I am not really doing this to save money....They are not as sexy as proper AN right? Plus I only paid about $12 a fitting through Summit. Postage was cheap too. Speed shops here wanted triple that per fitting! Quote
Roberto Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 It's getting very close now. Refurb alternator mounted. Intake and exhaust back on...... Quote
luvemfast Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Got some nice bits of bling there Roberto Quote
