Finally got some time to work on the bus. The only pic I have right now is of the adapter hose that I fabbed up. The zip ties are only for the mock up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

please change to black zip ties, the clear ones break down much quicker, plus the black looks stealth and more professional, thus gainng you the respect of fellow hack mechanics (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)

Hunh? Clear ones are virgin nylon resin, black ones require adding something (carbon black) to color them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Usually, adding something to virgin resin weakens it- unless it is the cheap crap mystery resin from companies like "Whang Poo" and "Dong Yu"

Make sure that throttle body above the fan pulley doesn't touch the pulley from vibrations or torque twisting the engine in the bay.
I would replace the blue silicone connectors from the manifolds to the throttle body with something rigid to maintain the geometry of that construction under all circumstances.
Nice build.

Too hot. All cats are in molt mode and if stroked, a cloud of fur erupts into the air.

Need any free cat fur? Makes an interesting texture for future painting projects.

The blue connectors on the main body are very thick and rigid. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Stainless braided fuel hoses arrived today and are mocked up. All looks well. Only one fitting left out of the order to allow for gas to and from the tank (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Pics tomorrow, and I will hopefully have this thing buttoned up this weekend (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

No, Noel is having my baby. Leon is off until Noel stops breast feeding (no booze (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ).

OK, no pics as I dont stop to take them usually. I am much closer now. Today, I made brackets for the pressure accumulator and the filter and mounted them under the bus. Then I made a bracket to hold the fuel pump, and under the bus it went. I have all of that plumbed up including a see through filter before the pump. I had to weld the brackets up and everything is held in place with hose clamps. Then, I marked the engine tin for modification, removed them, cut and welded what I needed changed, and smeared some quick steel on the seams. I will be sand blasting them and painting them next.

All that is left:
- Design throttle control
- Vac hoses
- button it up

Looking on schedule (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I'll try to take some pics of the fuel system tomorrow. I intend to remove all of it to pain the brackets once I have it mocked up and everything fits. That is a bit of the pain of engineering this stuff; you design, build and assemble only to disassemble, finish work everything, and then reassemble again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

OK, it has been too long and I have been making progress here and there. All the hoses, fittings, fuel lines except for send and return (easy enough) are in place. The Tins are to be installed after being tweaked. All that is left to do is design the throttle linkage.

Looking good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

Do you realize the EFI is almost as big as the engine? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Really glad to see the braided high pressure EFI fuel lines rather than the nylon ones.

Now who were you going to throttle with the linkage?
