Here's the dash. The egt and fuel pressure are greddy. The rest are VDO vision series.

The diy remote profec b switch

Typical cam gear shot

Moroso catch can and gm map sensor. I have a ball valve and a return line tapped into the oil pan so when I want to drain it the oil. All I have to do is open the valve.


Here's an oversized oil cooler. Funny thing is it was the easiest size to fit. I may have to "vent" my front bumber since I don't think there is going to be a lot of air flow.

I also used a the spin on adapter, remote filter mount, thermostat, and ac autechnic adapter. Don't ask how much this setup was. Way to much.


Here's the SMC water/alky injection kit with a few modifications. The small bottle in the stock one. The large one I bought from Fisher Scientific. It's a 2.5 gallon Nalgene carboy. I also had to add a fuel filter. I was very surprised the kit didn't come equiped with one.

The kit uses a very fine mist brass nozzle before the tb.

And last a little ps cooler mod. To clear up some space in the ic area I changed and moved the ps cooler. I'm using a small setrab oil cooler and yes that is the profec box in the fender well. I was running out of space to put stuff

Comments, questions, and criticisms are welcome.

 

Your gauge setup looks sweet.

 

sweet, never seen the ps cooler

 

looking good

 

cool! how well does the h2o/alky mix work, im interrested.

 

I'm really impressed with the amount of work you put into this build. I think your oil cooling/ oil feeding design is interesting. If you can keep all those fittings from leaking your oil will be very happy. I also really like where you put the Profec B selonoid.

I've never seen a water/alky injection setup. Could you tell me how it works and what it does?

The only criticism that I have is that I hope you didn't use teflon tape on all your oil fittings. I can't tell if you did or not but it looks like you did. Oil will disolve the tape after a while. You should use a teflon fortifide pipe sealant. Oh, I also disagree with the way you installed the catch can. I think it's causing more harm there than good.

What kind of power are you putting out?

Looks great--> a litte complicated and cautious but great.

 

why is your fuel pressure guage pegged to the max reading? nice setup

 

awesome

 

Nobody ever talks about how fast a job is done. However, everyone will remember a job well done.

 

I didn't know that about the teflon tape. Crap. So you are recommending teflon paste. Funny, I have a tube of that as well. Used that on the fuel fittings. What is it about the catch can that could be causing harm? Where would one ideally be? Thanks for the comments.

Your'e absolutely correct on the complicated part. I'm way concerned about leaks. I'm always checking for them.

The alcohol is just a little insurance. It drops the intake temps. I'm going to put a thermocouple in the intake manifold and take some temperature measurements so I can quantitatively give y'all some feedback on its effectiveness or lack thereof. I have a data recorder, so I'll try to hook that up so we can get the data in graph form. I'll be trying 100% methanol, 50/50 alky water, water, and alky/dryice. The alky/dry ice will drop the alky temp to -80 <U>celcius</U> Your skin will actually recoil from that kind of cold.

I'm hoping for 350-370 whp from this setup. Built internals, but stock sleeves. I'll prolly be getting tuned in a few months time/money permitting. Grad students are poor and fortunately this is the second car.

edit: grammer

Hmm. I may have wired it incorrectly. Thanks for noticing that. Funny thing is it functions correctly when on. I'll go back and recheck my wiring again. Thanks.

 

If I were to do the alky kit again, I would definitely build my own. It's basically an adjustable map switch, some relays, a pump, and a nozzle. A much more sofisticated one could be assembled via a process logic controller (PLC) with a pressure transducer, relays, solenoids, pump, and a nozzle for around the same amount of money I paid for this setup. Once I have the temp data in, I'll do a complete write up on it.

 

Get your Vtec working? Did you ever get me some multimeter test probes?

I actually had to get creative for that solution. My battery quit on me before I could try it out though. You still want those H&R springs? They are just sitting in the garage waiting for ya.

 

VERY trick, every single bit of it. NICE dude!

 

congrats

 

lots of work, good work and i hope everything works....there's alot of stuff there like to see what that sucker puts out...

 

nice, looks like a lot of work and THINKING and creativity went into that build
seriously nice setup man, hope to see u at a TX meet or something. u planning on hitting the track anytime soon? RCR? lemme know

 

Wow, thats a lot of earls fittings. I see why you said dont ask how much it cost you. My friends actually has pretty much the exact same oil cooler, filter setup as you on his 240sx. Even with his hookup with earls, it cost him a crap load for all of the fittings. He only had one bad leak though (one of the fittings just popped off while we were sitting in a parking lot and the car was idleing) since he put it all together like a year ago. Anyway looks really nice and keep us updated when you get those numbers on the water/alky injection.

 

Wow....your setup looks like you put a lot of time into it and it looks really, really good.

 

Your car sucks dude (note: sarcasm yall chuckle, chuckle). Yea I bet you will ALWAYS be looking for leaks, after the last Dallas trip. I gotta give props to Jeff here he ripped apart, built, boosted, alky injected this car all on his own. A trusty Chiltons (hehehe) book and ALOT of tools is all he needed. Great job Jeff Just remeber DON'T LET ME RIDE IN IT. I'm already used to being boostless. hehehe.

 

yeah all those earl fittings musta cost u a fuckload of money.. jeebus.. o well they last forever just dont loose em

Hey if you want to know why I think the catch can is not working there look at this link:

I guess nobody felt like debating these ideas though

 

very professional looking.

how much did those VDO guages run you?
