This has been a hard project. Switching to SDS injection meant I had to redo the wiring for the FI. I needed more fuel for the larger fuel pump and FI. I needed new filters, anyway Yada, yada, yada. Anyway I'm getting close now so, I thought I would offer up my work to the peanut gallery.
First I put the brain in the car so wiring had to go throughthe firewall. |

As I said I had to go through the firewall so, I used an extra conduit from Joney's silver car that Kevin gave me.
The main loom for the car still goes through the original conduit and the FI goes through the new conduit to the left. To the right in the picture you can see some of the fuel line I bent and the pre-filter for the fuel pump. The fuel pump pumps much more than the old stock pump which I think would have come up short. The new system runs 40 psi and I think the stock pump would have struggled with enough volume at that pressure. Bending and flaring the fuel line was a whole weekend. I still need to pressure check it and I'm praying there won't be any leaks. |

I found out later that those pump MUST sit upright (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) So I'm not using mine anymore, as it won't fit upright where I had it installed. |
