My 1972 240Z build.
#51
There’s a ton of money in Black Horse AN fittings and such on this table… all of it totally & perfectly planned out. Nothing extra. Nothing short.
They made this catch can as part of a complete system that will keep evaporated oil from getting back into my intake. I’ll explain it more once I understand, which is not at this moment. ☺
750cc top feed injectors
The Greddy fuel rail was blue. You can see inside the holes. However, that would really clash with the rest of the engine bay, so it was media blasted. It will be polished more before final install.
The stock plastic coil cover would really bring down the looks of the engine bay too, so they made one of aluminum. I love it. It really works well with everything going on. With a loud color such as the lime, I wanted to keep a polished/brushed and black theme with the engine stuff.

Here are some detail shots. Please remember that everything’s not done yet. Not everything is as tight as it will be, or as polished as it will be.
The electrical goodies are all wrapped in snake skin and it’s all pretty darn clean so far.

And finally, the overall glory shots. Final welding hasn’t been done. They’re all tacked in there for fitment.
The guy who took this picture sent it to me with one word attached: “WIN”.
I about cried.

The fuel system routed and completed (all that needs to be done is the rail plug to be installed)...
The fuel-feed line routed...
The injector housings painted black...
The inline oil filter for the turbocharger feed...
(this is not remaining anodized blue, it will be polished to match the rest of the engine bay)
Water feed, water return, oil feed, and oil return lines routed...
Taylor wrapping up the wiring...

This…
Turns into this…
(notice the now polished oil-feed filter)
And this...
(this is a guide stay for the AN lines that are running forward for the breather system
Finalized shape/design and polished...
A preview of how the breather lines will be routed once finalized...
More AN lines routed.
The blow-off valve vacuum reference line routed, and finalized with its own source...
And of course, a nice line stay bracket was designed...
The vacuum reference point...

The AEM electronic-boost control solenoid vacuum lines routed...
The wastegate/electronic-boost control solenoid pressure reference (on the turbocharger compressor housing)...
A few shots from late last night.
Chris (of National Speed) welding...
We hated the idea of having just a filter on the valve cover for the crankcase breather port (i.e. the crankcase and valve cover already have a vacuum reference on the turbocharger intake tube, the crankcase needs a way to breath in fresh air), so Chris built a breather canister to fit in with the rest of the build quality...
The bracket...
