Now that I have some really solid results to work with, its easier for me to feel driven to tie up the loose ends and call this project complete.

Charles,

I'll get up with you when I get back from Z-Nats. I have spent WAY to much money last month on car parts. LOL
I was hopping to do this install while I had all the interior out, but I just reinstalled it for Z-Nats.

Sorry we didn't quite make it in time... Because you will really want to pull the seats out for this! We will catch up soon, have a good time there!

I can really see now why you want the tank on empty when do the install. It's a bit tight in there. Thanks for the Pics.

Still in for it. When do we start?

Sorry guys I've been busy moving inventory and what not (things are changing with our business, trying to increase efficiency and quicker workflow). I'm nearly done with that stuff.. I'll get some more kits ready to ship out this week for those of you anxious to go!

Just getting back to this issue and have gone through 19 pages of posts and am still not sure of the exact solution here - my question is Phunk, are we now talking a surge tank solution or is this still an internal tank solution?

wstar · 10-04-2012, 11:21 PM

It's an in-tank surge can that works in combination with the existing system.

phunk · 10-04-2012, 11:35 PM

^^^ exactly... its a surgetank style solution that works in harmony with the factory fuel system (or can be configured to work with return systems or pretty much anything you do). It is all concealed inside the tank and there is not an inch of modified plumbing outside of the tank... the only thing you have to do outside the tank is install a relay kit and run it to the drivers side of the fuel tank.

Doing it the way we have, and intercepting the fuel lines inside the tank, has allowed us to do a surge can setup without all the typical problems and complications with external surge cans on the 370z/350z/etc. There was never a proper way of doing it, regardless of it having been done, and we are addressing all the issues with it by installing it in a unique way.

Where can I send my money? When can I get one

phunk · 10-16-2012, 12:55 PM

PM sent!

batboyvaj · 10-16-2012, 01:30 PM

Do you have instructions on the install? I want to see if it is something I can do on my own.
