Meth injection so far...
« on: 18 December 2011, 16:34 »
Right, got the spanners out today and thought i'd make a start after fitting BAM fuel pump.

Un-wired subs and amps, never to go back in  :laugh:

Took up boot carpet and removed spare wheel.

Bolted pump into spare wheel well.

Bolted tank onto rear seats, didn't enjoy putting holes into leather Recaro seats but oh well  :rolleyes:



Connected them both up with the push fit connections, very easy.

I was going to use the washer bottle in engine bay, but decided, that runs out quick enough anyway and i had a tank so might aswell use it  :afro:

Im going to get a level sensor and screw that into tank to warn me when its getting low.

Next was deciding where to run the pipework, didnt really want it running through car, so underneath it had to go, following the fuel lines.

I poked a hole in one of the bungs in wheel well and pushed the line through.



That was the boot part done for now, bar wiring, which i will tackle later.

Boot carpet back in and looks pretty tidy!   :grin:

Left enough room for small amp, incase i want to amp all four door speakers later on again if i get pi55ed off at no music  :laugh:  no subs ever again though.



Next ran it down drivers side of the car, past rear ARB and to the first bit of fuel line i could find, and zip-tied to that  :smiley:

After that there was a spare rail with all the others running up so clipped it along there..



From the back you can see where it runs, the bit that looks 'looped out' and waggling about isn't actually like that, thats where i first tied it too, and isn't flapping about atall lol   :laugh:



Finally, im not sure what that 'box' is underneath car about halfway back, but it had wiring running to engine bay, so followed that, just as it pokes into engine bay has inline filter, and the hose is left ready for when inlet manifold goes on.

Engine bay filthy as usual but you can see hose ready to be attached  :smiley:



And here is a picture of inlet manifold to go on, which will be final stage when i have installed the level sensor and programmed the progressive controller in.



Just the wiring to do now, which looks pretty simple, then buy some meth and some distilled water  :afro:

Plus them subs were HEAVY, cant be helping with acceleration  :laugh:
