Thread: 2000 turbo regal v.notSnowflake *now with more flames*

slowly getting all the little things sorted out and setup

looks good, still need moar low'n but chicago streets suck enough that i prefer the ground height

oh, good news, ive had several hard as hell highway-bridge-highway transitions that have slammed hard enough that im damned certain we've hit the koni bumps, they looked fine as of last night, along with the hats, driving to cars and coffee this mornin.

i feel so bad ive put more miles on it than kevin, though he did get to hear it drive from his TDI, gave him a 40% throttle, whistling jet catching up to him from behind, didnt even go into boost (hovering right near 100kpa).

he reminded me how quiet the car is, i totally forgot since the inside sounds like a herd of 600 ponies stampeding

did some fuel cannister work to reduce the tendency for air bubbles to get recirculated.

finished product uses the pump well as a drain well that lets the bubbles spill over the top of the can and allow mostly liquid gas to drain into the lower can/main reservoir through the drain holes in the W255 pump holder

kept the venturi, used spring and disc from spare canister rollover/vent valve, disc snaps right into top of venturi bypass float well, spring biases the float into the venturi functioning all the time, and not just when the canister is at 1/2 full or below.

in cannister sock ripped apart, inner support modified into a "pink sock" pump inlet strainer. external venturi sock is intact

has really cut down on the bubble recirculation, even as low as a 1/4 tank.



return tube cut and bent to shoot at pump well when at installed height.


before final assembly (pump inlet plugged to keep debris out till install)



here you can see the rollover spring/disc shoved into the venturi float well. also note pump strainer

This thing never fails to blow my mind

meh

i try

just got back the trans spacers, probably sell the 3/8ths one now that i made the 1"
blue came out perfect, add some strength to the case and i can ditch the modified/fixed zzp pan for a modified stock pan

Good, you selling me a copy?

I only have that 3/8th inch spacer that im getting rid of, the 1" spacer was quite difficult to get a piece of pressed 6061 plate big enough

I was going to put the 3/8ths on top of the modified zzp pan but im going with the 1" and a modified OEM pan.

whenever I finish ill have the zzp pan and the 3/8ths to unload

What are you going to use to extend the pickup down to the pan?

im making a filterless sump tube and pan baffles, trans will use a PF52 inline filter on the cooler/lube circuit, that way we only need one part number filter

the 3/8ths was just figured on not popping the filter all the way up...but with the 1"....might as well go insane

I think you can buy an extension from jegs that works. Snowflake did it on his car.

I just started my transmission build, I'd be interested to see how you pull it off. Might even pick up that spacer depending on the $ and what not.

i had a swinging pickup idea earlier

Use the wix filter instead it's a 1515 iirc. Couple capicty and flows more Than the Fram version

^^ That just made my day...
