To transition the engine compartment harness into the interior of Project 240SX LSR, a series of quick disconnect, mil spec circular connectors were attached to a 1/8” thick plate of aluminum. In addition, two Earl’s Performance Products aluminum bulkhead fittings were mounted to the plate as the supply and return for the air to liquid intercooler.
The Earl’s Performance Products -12 bulkhead fittings provide a sealed and serviceable transition through the firewall for the intercooler lines. Ease of service was one of the motivations behind the use of both the circular connectors and the Earl’s Performance Products bulk head fittings. Within a couple of minutes we can have the entire engine harness and intercooler lines disconnected whenever we have to remove the engine. The other motivation was to ensure a completely sealed firewall. In land speed racing, they say it’s not a matter of “if” you’ll catch on fire but “when.” When that time comes, we want to make sure our firewall is 100% sealed to help prevent the fire from extending into the driver’s compartment.
Next, we called our friend Brian Hasty at Fastbrakes to get us a Wilwood swing type brake and clutch pedal kit along with the needed master cylinders and brake bias knob. Fastbrakes specializes in big brake kits using Wilwood, Alcon and AP Racing calipers. If you recall, Fastbrakes also supplied us with the slotted rotors, hawk pads, and steel braided lines for Project 240SX LSR early on in the build.
We again turned to John Kuctha of Specialty Cars Farbication, to handle the fabrication needed to mount the new new Wilwood pedal box. Earl’s performance Products, stainless tubing and black Ano-Tuff fittings were used to run new brake tubing off the master cylinders.
Earl’s Performance Products Ano-Tuff fittings are Mil Spec type III anodized for wear and corrosion resistance. With all of the salt induced corrosion we’ve been battling lately, this is exactly what we need.
