Been trying to run fuel lines this week. I took this week off from work to possibly get the car fired up but, my mother broke her hip on sunday so I've been at the hospital 24/7 babysitting her.

Fricking high dollar -10 fittings . Not that easy to run these lines and keep them simple/symmetrical looking. That and keeping the FPR away from the firewall to be NHRA legal.

 

Now you need to mount the blow off valve(s) as close to the turbo as possible so as to leave room on the intake pipe for the methanol/alcohol injectors.


The TII intake is lower and most often clear the hood. With the REW intake it dosen't even clear on the 2nd gen chassis!
That is all part of it though. The intake have a lot of material so it can be shorten easily Only a band saw and tig welder away.

 

Yup, I had to shorten mine. No problem there though.

 

so do you have a Tll transmission? if so is the drive shaft custom built? I heard it was necessary for a custom driveshaft since the tranny is a bit longer for a T11, or so it seems.

 

Ran some fuel line, still need 2-3 more fittings and also need to return a few as well.

Also started on the injector harness, that's all the red and black wire you see laying there. My hands were freezing and didn't want to work right so I called it quits before connecting it to the harness. It's hard to tell but I spent 3 hours just on the injector wiring to make everything nice stealth and black. And that red fpr won't be red much longer

-10 lightweight nylon fuel hose
black -10 fittings blah blah blah
aeromotive pressure regulator
aeromotive 3way block
all the red/blue fittings you see will be replace with black ones


Don't be jealous of that oil feed line, it's hardcore....... I know

 

i just cant wait to see some numbers. looks like an awsome project, keep up the updates.

 

That nylon hose is the poo! I got's me some of that stuff, what a pleasure to work with!

 

It will be interesting to see your waterpump-setup! Everything else look killer

 

What are you going to use for a fuel pump Eric? Looking good.

 

Uh oh. Look out for the upcoming sales pitch.

 

Awww, come on Josh. That would just be underhanded.

Man, weldon is very nice but too high dollar for me.


The car already had a Aeromotive A1000 hooked up but I'm going to get another one.

 

Be careful with that Black Nylon fuel hose. That stuff kinks VERY easily.

 

The car came full of Stainless Braided Hose but I'm tossing it all in the trash. I hate working with it. It's impossible to mess with it and not rip your hands apart and if you've got a hot wire exposed anywhere, that braided ss hose is guaranteed to find it.

 

Yes, I found out the hard way.

My two feed hoses ended up being too short and kinked. So, I need to take it apart and use longer hoses.

 

very nice build so far. I really can't wait for the numbers on that beast. What other benefits over steel lines are there?

 

where are you planning on mounting your meth tank? under the car? in the hatch? under the hood?

 

Lighter weight, easier to work with and can make sharper turns it you're carefull.

 

I'll most likely mount it under the hood somewhere.

 

dear lupe,

get a tig welder.

 

what size are the exhaust tubes you used?

 

what's better for welding on a vehicle's exhaust Mig or Tig? Seems to me that Tig is more portable and better suited for the in garage work. Is there even a difference besides size? So many questions, so little time.

 

Alright, I've had a chance to work with both the nylon and ss lines. The nylon are about 3,399 times better to work with than the ss ones.

Seriously, I'll never use SS again.

 

How much longer Eric? I'm tired of waiting.

What do you plan on running for ignition?

 

dammmm thats a good one DOC
