my mate has used skyline plastic tank, but that
was in the back of a 1200 ute, (underneath),
i was thinking of taking the spare
tire well out and using a 180sx tank underneath, or just making
brackets to fit it in place of original
i used my original tank, but welded in
another breather which became my fuel outlet, i'm running a low
pressure, hi volume volvo pre pump, which sits on the bottom of the
tank. with an external VL turbo.
the only problem with 1 pump internal is that
they get very $$$ once
u need to upgrade. ie more fuel or pressure.
Petrojet recommend that i won't need a surge, as the volvo pre will
easily keep the fuel up. but as the old tanks don't baffles. i will
have to find out?
yeah, i was
looking at using a 300zx twin turbo pump, they bolt into 180sx tanks,
or maybe a r33 gtr pump. they should flow enough hopefully. have
to do more research on flow rates. my main aim is to not have
external pumps, it's neater, and something i would like to do, even if
it's a lot of hassle.
i think
retrofitting a tank will be easier than welding in extra baffles and a
fuel well and making provisions for a bolt in, in-tank
pump.

Subject: Fuel tanks
I'm looking at
retro fitting a fuel tank to a 1600
I was thinking a
late model fuel tank (with baffles and in tank fuel pump) out of
anything, nissan, otherwise, probably nissan, due to familiarity
with performance pumps etc. Anyone know some wreckers of
otherwise with 200sx, or 180sx, or any 1990->on cars that they
can measure up external dimensions and mounting points of their
respective fuel tanks?
I am considering
cutting out the spare tire well if necessary to fit (e.g.) a
180sx fuel tank which sits under the boot and moving the spare
inside the boot behind the seat.
I'm not sure how
much of an effect it would have on weight distribution moving the
tank further back, any comments?
This removes the
need for a surge tank and external fuel pumps in my
opinion.
help? anyone?
get out your measuring tapes.......
