the intercooler is overkill for my setup I wont be pushing enough for the time being to warrant dualpops I got the FMIC because I have bigger plans and only bought a engine/trans not the front clip so I figured if i was gonna spend money i would go big. and not waste upgrading later, the na had the pop so that was no money out of my pocket.

yeah it worked perfectly, you run the hose down past the battery (if its in the car), above the DP/Header. and into the fill hole, just make sure to put a drip pan or something to catch the overflow so you dont make a mess.

Walbro.

On a side note I have been reading the AVC-R manual and DAAAAMN I love this EBC. 2 separate setting modes complete with, Self learning, gear dependent and RPM dependent boost, scramble boost setting...... best EBC EVAR!

How'd you mount it? Mine came with the 240sx mounting hardware and it looks like I'm gonna need to make my own bracket to get the filter low enough.

I mounted it pretty much like the stock pump, had to fab the bracket a little and I used the factory pickup and filter to get it to the bottom of the tank because I wanted to keep it as high as possible and not dip the contacts.

Hmm, think it would be bad if the pump was completely submerged? My mock up has the contacts up high but the pump will probably be submerged in fuel.

I really dont know dude, I would think that the pumps would be ok with being submerged but I just went with a stock-like setup because it was there and I figured if it was physically set up as stock then I shouldn't have problems.

AHHHHHHH!

Ok UPDATE: Couldnt get the f***ing bolt out last night, picking up bolt extractor and needle nose vise grips today and that b**** will be out before the day is through! Throughout my whole f***ing rebuild process I didnt have anything that took as long or has been as frustrating as this one f***ing injector (not even dropping the engine in), so here is to the Engineers behind the VG30DETT: "Good job on a bad a**, legendary engine, it rocks in every way but you should hang the guy who decided on side-feeds by his sack, seriously WTF were you guys thinking?"

We now return to our regularly scheduled programing

Sweet rant...and yeah, the sack hang would be too nice for that idiot.I read the injector repair info, and even the dremel method looked like a total b**** so I had it done at a Z shop.

Yeah it is a total b****, and getting the bolts back in wasn't easy either. but alas it is put together, the battery is charging right now and I'm taking a break, in a second I'm putting the test pipes on and then crank time, i have triple checked every vital of the car in the last week and a half so there should be no more issues.
