RiceRacing System Installed, observations
Howard & all:
finally completed my install (I was out of town for 3 weeks). See the link for more photos.
Also,see comments at end of post.

The most difficult part of the install was finding space for the tank (must be under the hood). Purchasing/modding a tank that would fit was tough! As we know, underhood space is at a premium.
RiceRacing recommends : 1) the tank volume is less than 5.5 liters (1.3 gal), 2) for cylindrical tanks, diameter to height ratio of 3/1 (slosh concern), 3) be pressure rated to 3x max boost pressure, 4) be located underhood to minimize delay times (this system is pneumatic, no pumps).
I found a used rectangular 1 gallon drag fuel cell that would fit (barely). I modified this, to fit with the v mount IC, and it's dimensions are 6"x6"x10". It has foam blocks (anti-slosh), so I did not follow the 3/1 cylindrical tank recommendation.
Installed an indicator light, near the boost gauge, that indicates when the solenoid is on (ie water flowing). Also, added a "cobrahead" intake coupling for cold air intake.
Road tuning will begin this week. RiceRacing recommends ignition upgrades, for this system. I may need an HKS twinpower or ? tbd..............
