I then started the hardline work on the surge tank this was fun....





and last but not least at all!! I finished my hardline for my oil pan vent to my filler neck as well as test fit my new waterpump outlet for ProJay.... it looks sexy on there cant wait to start plumbing that



Well thats it for now i have my ID2000s off at ID getting cleaned and balanced and my ID1000s are in my parts bin ready and waiting. next up fuel cell and finish up the wire tuck.

 

Looks awesome robert!!

 

Thanks Shawn! Even though you get to see it before all the club members lol :P

 

ahhh this looks so nice. i also went with the s475 and made a manifold... yours looks so much more nicer. and those hard lines are just pure sex. nice build man. i wanna see more!

 

Thanks man! I hope to get more done in the up coming month I have been slammed with work and projects lately lol

 

oh yea i hear you there. and anytime. glwb!

 

Interesting fuel setup. Will be keen to see it complete.

 

Thanks bud just figured I would think outside the box and keep the lines

 

--- keep the lines away from the block to lessen the amount of heat soak into the fuel line and keep the fuel slightly cooler.

 

Nice build! I'm doing hard lines too, so I can personally appreciate the actual amount of time it takes to make them just right, good job!

if you haven't already ordered a check valve for the brake booster, I was wondering what to use too, until I came across Mannykillers build thread. Here's the link http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-g1465 I ordered one but haven't installed it yet, nice looking piece.

 

Thanks man! Yeah they are a pain but damn they look nice and I never will have to worry about them leaking I actually ordered a -6 check valve that costed like 80bucks XD might have to return it and get that one. Pretty nice unit.

 

Awesome build thread! Love seeing that you're local as well, cool to see some FD's in the Cities. Car looks like it is well taken care of and your car and engine will be in excellent shape when they're completed. Good luck!

 

Appreciate it man! I am finishing up my turbo manifold this week hopefully and then pulling the motor just to freshin up the seals in it.

 

Looks good

 

Always appreciate it, always nice to hear... Keeps me going on the build!

 

This looks like it's going to get good, soon...
The fuel line lay out is something I have not yet seen before. I'll be interested in seeing the final install. Also can I get some more pics of the exterior? It looks awesome! What kind of rear fender flares are those, tire spec etc???

I'll be checking in. I have a car I'm working on myself. I'm holding off on a build thread until after i get the paint laid out in the next few weeks.

thanks man! yeah its about to go nuts here soon im getting a lot of the parts in that i have been waiting for and i am pulling the motor to reshin it up a bit with new seals and new studs.

The Rears currently on the car are shine auto burn out flares, the flares that are going to be goin on the car are Pettit Racing rear Flares my plan is to run 18x12 rears with 345's mounted on them, the fronts are going to be 18x9.5/10 running between 285 and 315 if i can find the correct offset with the RPF1 wheels, I have seen people with the burnout front flares running some wide fronts but dont know how big i can go really. The Rear wheels i am senting out for a wheel fab company to add two inchs to the barrel. my plan is to get as much of the power i am going to be making to the ground, and still be able to take it to the track and have fun in the corners.

I will try and get her out of the garage and cleaned up a bit for some pictures, I have some on my profile on here from back in the day, the body hasnt changed much since then.

 

thats a mean project, hope u finish it and show us!

 

Thanks bud! I plan on doing a lot to it here in the next few months

 

As i am still working on a lot of cars right now, mainly not my own lol here is a small update on what has changed on my car.

I have made a lot of progress of fuel system hard lines







also have a few new toys to add to the car very soon, well as soon as i pull the motor



This isn't really waiting on the motor to be pulled but i have 2 ID1000 primary injectors as these beautiful ID2000s for my secondaries



She isnt pretty yet but she is coming along, i have tried to make her as equal length as possible all while trying to battle this giant turbo into its resting place. up next finish up the welds locate the best spots for the wastegates and install wastegate runners and if money permits send this all off to Turblown/Turbosource for some fancy pantsy heat shielding. If anyone is serious about heat control check them out they are second to none!



and one funny picture: Apexi PFC size comparison to a Adaptronic 440 like they say epicly awesome things come in small packages ... or something like that lol Again massive thanks to Elliot at Turblown/Turbosource for getting me on board with the Adaptronic ECU!!

 

Did you bend up and fab that oil filler tube? I could use one of those...

 

I could probably build you one for around 100-120bucks i would have to double check pricing but I'm sure i could help ya out PM me if your interested.

 

When I get past the paint job i'm working on and i turn my eye onto the engine I will definitely take you up on that offer. I'd give you a buck-twenty no problem. I'll be send you a pm at some point.

 

Sounds good man!! You have a build thread goin? I am going to have to check it out if ya do

 

Some nice fab work going into this build.

I love the hardline work but do not understand the routing justification.

IMO, you are better off adding a fuel cooler and not worrying about the fuel heat soak from the engine. The bulk of the heat will be coming from 3 fuel pumps not the radiant heat of the motor.

Why did you remove the stock check valves from the twin 044's? I would suggest installing one in the system if you have not done so already.. It will help the car to start faster.



Did I mention I love the hardlines?!
