Classic Revival Shopping list questions
Howdy,
Just going through the shopping list while Im waiting for my baby to arrive (both of em). Couple of questions:
Steering column: The list states 1998-2000 Swift or Barina. These are 2 different models (the barina is the rounder Euro one). Will a column out of either be OK?
Petrol tank: Is the VN tank out of a V6 or V8 or are they the same? I want an alloy one eventually, but that might be when the budget allows. What are the issues in getting an alloy tank through inspection?
thanks in advance,
Andrew.

Andrew,
I have used both Holden & Suzuki and there is no real noticable difference. Go later model & look for the one with the nicest condition plastic surround & stalks.
V8 VN tank is what I got but some wrecker told me there wasnt and difference, but I suspect the intank pump might be different? They look pretty nice from the back of the car as well
Any CR guys I have a 98 suzuki column you can have & steering shaft. I dropped mine down one inch and had to make a longer one.
COLOR=red]Also have the fan/cowling from V6 which I had fitted earlier before opting for a Davies type larger thermo fan.[/color]
PM me if anyone wants it FOC.

Not sure mate as my memory is dogsh_* but i think v6 tank is 15-20 litres less than V8. I agree with Leeroy on the later model swift/barina column as mine is a little old and i really should paint it or cover it with leather to make it look nice. Also cannot buy rubber boots that surround the stalks where they meet the housing from either holden or suzuki.
The holden tank looks a treat sprayed with that ripple look stone guard stuff (black).

The manual states 1988 - 2000 for steering rack, what you need is one from MH-ML Barina whick I think is 1988-1995 (approx)
The Suzuki was made a little longer than the rebadged Holden so a 2000 Suzuki colomn may be correct.
Regarding the fuel tank I had a V6 tank but have decided I want an alloy tank as I am not real keen on the look with the straps under the tank.
The V8 tank is slightly larger than the standard V6 tank but the larger tank could be optioned into the V6, also as stated the V8 tank does run a larger (higher flow rate) fuel pump.
I really dont think the fuel pump is an issue if you are only useing the standard pump as a supplier to a surge tank.

Boxhead,
Just a couple things about the fuel tanks and pumps.
If you run std tank without surge tank you will have problems with surge once fuel level gets low and your having a go around corners. I think this is what SLOTH is running but not sure if he has done any track work yet.
Ian was running an external surge tank with standard pump and has found the std FI pumps cark it as there is no back pressure. He is now runing external carbie pump (4 psi) to feed surge tank.
My set up is tank with internal surge tank that feeds external Bosch pump. Seems to work OK except for noise of the Bosch pump.
Phil.

Thanks for the heads up Phil.
I may have to look into fitting a pressure regulator into the surge tank return line.

right you are Phil. No track work yet. Still only done 1200km in the car. And yes the battery is currently flat. Planning to at least collect it from my Dad's garage next month, then maybe take it to QLD Raceway for a couple of consecutive weekends. Still need to fit a bash plate under sump (or new winged sump etc.) and get the PCU tuned to eliminate an irregular and annoying idle/throttle sticking problem.
I run a standard VN pump and no surge tank and from memory it is around 55psi at fuel rail.
cheers.

The VN had two differant fuel systems the early V8 had a low pressure in tank pump feeding an external high pressure pump and then later on during that model of commadore they changed to a single high pressure in tank unit.
