You'll notice I seem to use a lot of rubber line. Ultimately I hope to make up steel sections for some of the runs you'll see but for short term and while I figure out how it all fits rubber great.
Doing some final checking of fits and clearances. This has all been done before but I tend to be methodical. The entire setup was built on my work bench before I installed it just work out kinks; we all know how much more fun that can be once space is tighter.
Part way through the installation. I'm working on fuel and wiring alternately here as space is pretty tight. The initial wiring harness is butt connectors and crimping but once functioning right will be taken apart and soldered, covered and properly anchored.
A few things here. I designed the intake short enough so it would clear the power steering pump with clearance work on the bracket. But when I decided the leave the end plates unwelded and instead used a thread rod clamping setup that kinda went out the window (this is to be able to tune plenum volume). Its possible it would still fit but with a lot of work. Power steering is priority two at the moment.
Also, both rails are present but I only have plumbing for one.
Consulting wiring diagrams for my car.
Throttle bodies now in place, no linkage installed yet. These are the time consuming details.
I should have made my first picture more amusing or at least smiled but alas no. This is me as I realize that all the little things have added up and I'm not going to be done in time to make it to the inliners meet in ontario today. There's nothing especially big stopping me, just the types of challenges work like this involves.
dinner time......i'll be back
