Jay and Kerry installed a fuel cell pump and reg. That was the solution.

For a street car, a surge tank or keeping the tank at least half full are the solutions.

We've been updating bit, but the discussion moved over the Greddy TT thread. The original plan for this car was to keep in NA, but Jay decided to go TT down the road, after the car was delivered to him. So now it's TT, and making 500whp+ track use. So far about 30 hours on the stock engine and no issues whatsoever. Jay also installed some pretty extensive cooling gear to keep the engine happy. It's amazing how much heat these engines produce, particularly when you add forced induction to the mix.

Glad you enjoyed the article!

The level of cooling modifications that were installed on the car, would not be suitable for a street car application. Street people want to keep their AC and don't want to build custom mounts and such. This level of cooling modifications would require we have the car in house for installation, especially if we need to retain the AC. We can thank Nissan Japan for welding the AC condenser to the radiator.

I have no problem with the fab. I can do all that my self. and as for AC I couldn't care less. I want to get that out asap anyway. I'm planning on using the car strictly as track car anyway, so it wont really matter. Up here in Ottawa Canada there aren't a lot of tuning/Fab shops around, so pretty much everything on the car has been done by me.

Do you have a parts list?
