And i need to do a full fuel system and remove the stock lines. Please excuse the dirty engine bay and crap pictures. Got a lot of things going on...

 

Looks good Cux350z. I should be getting my coolant lines to mod Monday.

 

cause I'm jealous...

went out to my janky ****


removed all these things


before




after


Can I remove the breather connecting hose that the HR has going around the front of the intake? One HR guy said yes you can...

 

Looks good Rod!!! keep it up,
I dont see why not. Does it just go intake to intake?

My Coolant stuff came in this weekend. So I got started on the Coolant bypass mod.



Driver side pipe



Rear Pipe



Passengers side pipe



The pipes I cut off


I have some more cleaning to do on them. Then get them welded up, but its a good start

 

Just tryna keep up with you man..

Yea it's just a hose connecting both sides together and a small black baffle canister...

 

Take it off, put little air filters.

 

+1^^^
I dont see it being a problem since its before the throttle body, but I would block it off or put alittle filter on it as litoflow said. Dont qoute me im not baller enough to have a HR. Just giving alittle thought on it.

 

yeah and there are couple ground wires you can hide too

 

srad....good stuff! Now get rid of the unused bracket on the passenger side pipe. You have the same mods that I do when it comes to coolant pipes.

Are you going to paint or powdercoat the pipes?


When you get them welded make sure the area around the weld is cleaned before it is welded else it may leak.

 

Good catch Cux350z.... Was wondering about that. My turbo piping has a bracket for it, but I don't use it. Guess cut those off to.
Yea, getting them powder coated black I'm thinking

 

good stuff guys...i will be doing the coolant lines too once i get my hands on a spare set myself. I am just taking it easy, too much going on for next drift season damn wallet going to hurt lol

 

and on the cast pipe and driver side pipe flange, you can drill/tap for 1/8npt and 1/2 npt or 3/8npt vs welding.

If you remove the hose and cap off the inlets you should be fine.
But if you place a breather on each intake tube at those inlets you will introduce unmetered air because it is post MAF.

 

^^agree

Very true, wasn't thinking about that.

 

Will I capped everything off and it makes more sense that way...

Pics to come once I hopefully successfully remove a broken fuel rail bolt that I magically snapped?

Damn near cried

 

If you drift and maintain your vehicle regularly, you may want to do your coolant line tuck in a slightly different manner than what everyone else is doing. The Coolant line tuck makes bleeding the coolant a *****....air typically gets trapped around the thermostat....or at least this has been my experience with the DE's

 

Been thinking about placing a bleeder in that hole instead of welding it shut. That may allow bleeding air out from around the thermostat to be a bit easier

Sradent...hope you dnt mind me using your picture

 

Not sure if you want to sell your intakes in the future, but cutting off those nipples all together and just welding it shut and grind it smooth (as though it was never there) would look really clean IMO

Can you explain your problem alittle more and what you've done in the past to bleed your coolant? Have you tried drilling a bleed hole in the thermostat and if you have nismo or mishimoto remove the little plug so it can constantly flow a little and air doesnt get trapped at the thermostat? Old trick in the V8 world,
