What...you think you should get nothing but "props" for fixing alot of things that weren't broken? While at the same time ignoring things that are cheaper, easier and IMO more important to fix and maintain.
I get the work in progress thing. But even after your explanation... limited funds and all, it still doesn't make much sense. But it is your car.

i understand where an oil leak is more important to repair than say, relocation a perfectly working wiring harness

but at the same time, i can't drive the car at all

some days i don't feel like getting all oily and greasy so i'll do the wiring

then when i don't feel like getting burnt by my soldering iron i'll do the dirty jobs

it's not a problem of limited funds; its more limited resources (a place to do all this)

BTW; i was having a boost issue before, my secondary wasn't kicking in but before i did the relocation and i noticed so many hoses disconnected and what not so doing this gave me the opportunity to repair all that

i wasn't expecting all props but i did say at the beginning of the thread, i apologize for the filthy engine bay

concentrate on what the thread was intended

I think the idea is fine, but wow it looks like crap. I'd go nuts if my engine bay looked like that.

Theres gotta be a better place to put them. They aren't that big.

i basically just mimiced rob robinette, i thought about putting them behind the UIM i'd have to move the brake lines that are in the way otherwise i'd mount it right behind the engine on the firewall. i kinda did this as an expermient to gauge how i feel on how it looked overall. i'm happy with it so far but i might move them provided i can find a better place.

and i'm also not happy with how the engine bay looks right now, its horrible.

I'm very curious to hear how well the car runs with all of those lines being so long. My experience with a longer prespool line was a bad one. I hope it all works properly.

ok guys, update:


just got my boost gauge installed and will be posting a vid of the boost gauge in a 3rd gear pull

it seems that at the transition i'm going down to around 7psi and then going back up to 10 which is pretty good considering the longer lines

all in all, the car is running awesome and i really don't notice much of a difference with the relocation

I did this on my last FD years ago. I noticed no difference. I remounted the rack in the stock battery box to hide them mess so the engine bay didnt look like a POS. Took a while soldering all the connections.

Too bad I ended up getting t boned a few months later and the car was totaled so it was all for nothing. Picked up a new fd with a single and havent looked back since.
