mrbigtanker Posted April 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr Started mocking up fuel lines today. Man it gets pricey. But never the less why not. So all PTFE lines front to back of course. 5 Quote Link to comment

mrbigtanker Posted April 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr That we all mounted on a trick custom bracket mounted to the right side of engine block. All concealed below the Manifold not to be seen. By the way that is a fuel pressure sender as well, in case any one was wondering. Also dropped off my my Blow off valve and Wastegate to TurboSmart which low and behold are right up the street from my house. Having them all prettied up.

mrbigtanker Posted May 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr John Williams made me a bracket for the Regulator/flex fuel sensor to mount on cool side of block. I am trying token hose and wires tucked with little exposure. 1 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted May 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 by raymond medeiros, on Flickr Fuel lines are all pre Fabbed. Will get them crimped on Monday and call the fuel system good. That thing sticking out of the regulator is a fuel pressure sending unit. Also I will change the T out to a male male to female at flex fuel sensor. The reason why I am running the line this way if you are wondering issss, I can cheat from having the return line on front side of fuel rail which I hate. This idea is the next best thing to sliced bread. 2 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted May 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr Last thing was I flipped the alternator bracket to inside. duh so much better angle and it clears. Thats a Kameari one in case your wondering because it looks fast. 3 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted May 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr I don't know if that Turbo is big enough. Oh well.lol. Mocking things up to run all new stuff that was already new. Changing the engine tappet and manifold color to suit the new color I am painting the truck. And all that sheepyshit has got to go. 2 Quote Link to comment
