Well I decided to jump into the EFI game with both feet.

Here is what changed this "old school" boy's mind. 

Weber look-a-like throttle bodies with built in injectors and TPS.  Jenvey Heritage Throttle bodies is what they go by. 

I get the old look I can't seem to do without, with all the modern advantages of EFI.

You may notice that there are only two, and this is a Z forum, but as most of you know there is 510 lady in my life that I'm currently enfatuated with. I can always buy another one if I ever come to my senses.

 These are 45mm with 350cc/hr injectors. Should do.

Richard, I will indeed be using your services regardless of which system I go with. This does l'ean' me in the haltech direction ? 

You mention the 6 cylinder preference, and reading the webpage it clearly best for 6, but there is a statement in the 'Engine Suitability" section that says 'basic 4 and 6 cylinder engines' so it will be fine regardless, and would suit whatever I do in the future.

Jim. Is this for a 4 banger or 6 cylinder motor.? The haltech 550 would do for a 4 banger. And it's cheaper...

Four banger. Can't afford three of those Jenvey TB's. ;O

 No holes barred, this thing is going modern.

 

Ahmmm.... direct chamber injection from a 2018 civic turbo sir? ?

Just teasing.  I am excited as the rest of the gang here... go Jim go!  We will all learn together.

You may need this!

I used the Tank inc for my EFI Z. So far very happy with the results. Tank Inc version does require cutting into a tank. The Holley mat would probably eliminate posssibility of cavitation, but I have yet to starve my motor out yet and I run it low on gas a lot. 

I've ordered the tanks-inc pump. Great feedback about your pump's performance in low fuel Steve. It has a small baffle tub and a sock - like thing on the inlet so it should be ok in all but near-near-near zero fuel situations.

Actually my favorite way to be caught in the "Im out of gas again!?!?!?!  Nooooooo"  situation is to have everything going fine, then start going up a hill.... That last quart sloshes to the back, and the damn car dies; half way up said hill;  and funny thing you can't push that Datsun that is now blocking traffic on the busiest freeway in town up that same said hill and out of the freaking way...... because you're on a hill !!!!  Arghhhhh". I'm moving back to southern Saskatchewan where there are no hills. Or trees. 

Oh right, the point of that copious rambling.  Going to mount the pump in the BACK of the tank rather than in the middle. Going DOWN a hill and running out of gas is actually fun.

Running out of Gas at the wrong time cost me a head gasket on my 280Z......  Low fuel> Fuel slosh> Lean Detonation> Oh Snap!!! 

I have a 1976 280Z. Fuel sending unit and fuel lines are on the front side of the tank. ( 77 and 78 are on top )  I'm wondering if there is enough room on Top of the Fuel Tank to install a Tank Inc  Universal kit? 

Anyone done this conversion on a 75 or 76 280Z tank? 

Sending unit is still in the same place right? I think there would enough room. 

If you were worried about room for the lines clearing the body -between the tank and body- you could adjust where the tank sits . You could lower the tank by not tightening the J hooks all the way

I have this intank unit in my 76 tank that is shoe horned into my 73 Z. It does fit in and snuggle next to the stock level sender without it rubbing on the intank pump hardware. If you put it in the right place. I got lucky. Let me see if I can find the pictures.

I did have to cut a small hole in the hatch floor to clear the fittings on top if the tank. Maybe in a real 76 there would be room, but I doubt it.

Okay here is a picture of where it goes.

I am a bad boy. Have not updated this thread for far too long. Shame shame.

I'm nearing the end of the voyage. It has been frought with problems, big surprise, but the car is now running well enough to get it to my friends shop for a dyno tune next week. Plan on taking it to Vancouver for their All Japanese show on the 25th. 

You'll have to be satisfied with a few pictures for now.
