Looking good, I can't wait to do this to mine!
2003RedFireVert’s Run-of-the-mill Build
- Thread starter 2003RedfireVert
- Start date
Vacuum lines are all routed. Blower install is basically done, just waiting on the throttle body.
I start on the fuel system. I got the FPDM and BAP removed. I got the FPR mounted (with a Temporary bracket for now). Routed the power wires, the honey well switch.
Tomorrow will be the fuel tank and getting the fuel lines routed and all the fittings installed (that’s my goal anyway). Moving a long nicely.
Danny Johnson’s YouTube channel had a very good video on the Fore Fuel System install and has helped me a lot.

Fuel pumps are installed, fuel tank is back in. Lines are somewhat ran into the engine bay…nothing permanent obviously.
Any advice or input on where to mount this gigantic fuel filter? I have two potential spots right now (see pics). Probably doesn’t matter…either one will be fine most likely.

I mounted mine under the passenger seat above the frame rail. But my lines run down the passenger of the car.
I wouldn't put it by the muffler. I don't think heat would be an issue with that gap, but if you ever want to switch catbacks that location might limit your muffler choice.

I modified the stock filter bracket and mounted mine in the muffler location as you show. I do not have any issues with heat on mine. As soon as you turn on the key, the fuel is circulated away from the filter and back to the tank. As long as you are not on complete empty, it is not going to heat the fuel and cause issues. I run Bassani mufflers which are pretty big and there is still plenty of room with an air gap.
Fuel lines are routed and hooked up. I need to add some isolating material on the lines where it rubs and/or turns around sharper metal. I want to button up the mounting of the lines but I’ll wait until I can get it on our lift to do that.
The fuel system wiring is all that’s left. Shouldn’t take me too long to do that.
I decided to mount the filter under the drivers seat. It was a lot easier to mount it and to cut the lines there.
Almost ready to start….

It's running. Tuner is going to fatten the tune up. It runs lean at idle. No vacuum leaks.
The whistle this thing makes is insane. I never would have thought it would sound like this at idle but I like it.
Next video and update will be the dyno tune, final numbers on 93+torco and E85, and driving impressions.
Overall, the hardest part of the install was routing and cutting the fuel lines. Wiring in the fuel system was super easy.

Nice. Sounds good. Wait til you throw a smaller pulley on it, gets even better!!
2.75 is what I’m thinking. I can’t find a 3in.
That will be a party hahahaha. Stock lower and 2.75”…. 26 psi.
I run 22 psi on the street and my party setup is 2lb lower with a 3” upper…. That’s 26 psi. I’m getting re-tuned next week for some upgrades and we will see what she does.
@2003RedfireVert I may have missed this, but did you stud the heads? 26 PSI a lot of boost for stock fasteners. Not saying you can’t run it, just something to be mindful of.
Right now it will be around 20psi with the 3.5 but yes if I go that high I’ll stud it. That is one thing I’m worried about.
Are folks studding at 20lbs? When is it recommended typically? So folks stud it with engine in the car one stud at a time?
I’d venture a guess that anything beyond 20 is getting a little dicey. I alway error on the side of caution though. To my knowledge and as I’ve read, you can stud the heads while the motor is in. I’ve swapped cams with the motor in, so there’s room…albeit limited.
I'm at 20psi on stock bolts. But I don't plan on going any higher at this point.
I think 23 or 24 is when it's recommended to go to studs. I've talked to a couple people that did the one stud at a time thing and it worked out. One was in the high 20's on boost for a long time.

You think of a price for that ported blower yet? 
I’ve had two people reach out about it. I’m going to hold on to it for a bit.You think of a price for that ported blower yet?
Haha, all good man. I’m gonna take my ported blower off my white one before I trade it to the dealer in a few days.
It drives really well. I’m setting up the tune date. 93+boostane and E85. This accufab single blade throttle body is 100X nicer than the dragon I had on the Eaton setup. It is so smooth, light, easy. My dragon was horrible compared to this accufab.
I’ll have some videos when the tune is done.
One issue is when putting gas in it shuts off immediately. I must got an EVAP line off or or pinched or something when I put the tank back in. It won’t let me put gas in it.

Or you messed up the spring on the end of the fill nozzle. It is stupid lite and if you break the plastic retainer it will jam and not allow gas to flow in just like you are experiencing.

Is that on the end of one of the small hoses that connects to the filler neck ? That has to be what I did….
