sprayed99 Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I think chp has a point... if it fails its going to fail and honestly I've been boosting 9lbs for the last year while I've been chasing this problem hitting afrs of 16+ and haven't blown anything up yet so im not to worried about a pump failing at this point. Im pretty confident in the e85 fuel after all of this its kinda like a majic fuel in a scents and you would be say this if you seen what I have seen this last year while running this fuel. If it does happen the ohh well $hit happens it will give me an excuse to build a 408... ;-) better go find a big ass chunk of wood to knock on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idahoBLKss Posted June 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 well i made some good progress today on the build. got all of my engine wireing done hooked the positives up to the back of tha altinator and the ground to the side of the altinator bracket. (was a pain in the a$$ cuz i had to move the procharger out of the way) . then i got my trigger wire wired up into the fuse box and mounted my relays and fuses on my fuse box for easy access. i then ran my wireing all the way back to the fuel cell and incased it in wire loom so it looks factory. pulled the bucket out and went to town , this took most of my day to get the bucket drilled ,pumps fitted / plumed and wired while keeping it nice and tighty and as correctly as i knew how. this is my first fuel build so if you see anything i did wrong please point it out, i havent bottoned her back up yet im waiting for the silicon to dry here are some pics... the positives to the back of the altinator , fed it through the boot.... the ground... my trigger wires hooked up to the fuse box... my fuses and relays mounted ... wireing running back to the tank there were even clips to put the loom in , i was a lil excited about it im not going to lie... then out came the bucket, this is what it looked like b4 i did anything... and this is what it looked like after i molested the crap out of it... wireing to the pumps... gounds ... soldered and shrinked ... hooked up and ready to rock.. top shot ... and thats about where im at now ...

Cramer Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Lookin good Jon. Thought it wouldn't be hard to move the Procharger to get to the ground point! Did you just cap off the original feed line in the bucket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idahoBLKss Posted June 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 I was going to cap it but the aeroquip -6 hose fits right over it so im going to use that to dump my return line into. RECYCLE!! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKSSS Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 If you haven't closed up your bucket yet, could you take a few shots of how you secured your pumps into the bucket? It looks like you just used zip ties pulling to the bottom? Just trying to soak up all your info...lol. Looks good so far! What size wire did you run to the pumps? 8ga?

Yeah ill get a couple more pics of the bucket but the pumps are basicly secured by the fuel line being hose clamped onto it and they just dangle in the bucket. The zip ties are to hold the filter on cause I don't like how the filters are just pushed on these pumps. Everything is 10a gauge wiring. Ill snap a couple pics tonight and post them later.

idahoBLKss Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) Trivial question what is it? See how good you guys really are... I looked it up to find out what it was and what it does and and I still don't under stand why its there and what it actually does .

Cramer Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Its behind the fuel rail. For why? Good question! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idahoBLKss Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Must be a safety thing cause its made out of forged iron truck lost like 50lbs by removing it... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterp Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) NICE JOB! ...wireing running back to the tank there were even clips to put the loom in , i was a lil excited about it im not going to lie... I got excited too when I saw that running the loom for my wideband! ...I looked it up to find out what it was and what it does and and I still don't under stand why its there and what it actually does . My understanding is that it is a bracket that prevents the firewall from contacting the back of the fuel rail in a collision. Mr. P. Edited June 27, 2011 by Mr. P.
