Lol that switch is for my fuel pump purge and constant but I'm probably going to just wire it up to my stand alone lol

dun dun dunnnnnnn. took adams (Honestabe) advice and put a 90 degree fittings on my tank to filter line, cut the length in half and looks 5x better. just need to make a bracket for the pump again to lower it a little further down.
in this picture it shows the fuel line and the amount that was taken off by doing the 2 90's
pictures at the area of work
sorry the pictures are so dark, my light is broken so the flash was all i had
here is how it was before, dont know what i was thinking at the time. gas fumes might have gotten to me lol

btw sorry for taking so long on updates, Its been slow for me and i also just did the switch from Windows XP to 7 ultimate backing up and restoring took forever.

hey do you still have that heat wrap you were using on that rubber line to your valve cover? the one that you just turned into a SS line that i attempted to help you with lol. i could use some of that stuff for a oil return. i found out that the socketless oil return i have for turbo is a -10 and not a -12 line
and what that means is i can get rid of that crappy ass rubber socketless hose and replace it with some fancy SS -10 line i have left over from a fuel system lol. but im thinking that the hose might run very close to the headers "thats where that heat wrap will come in" i might also be wrapping the headers with DEI header wrap. which will also lower the risk of the hose melting i guess. i was looking for information on the heat levels for the hose, but since i dont know the exact manufacture it makes it really hard to find the information on it all i know is single layer of braiding and teflon interior. i thought it was aeroquip but im not sure if its a PTFE hose or not. if thats the case im good to about 500F but who knowsI think I do, I'd have to check. Definitely wrap the manifold. Doing so properly will help increase power and keep engine bay temps down.
things are going back together finally progress
Yes i know the turbo isnt fully mounted lol, it was just on there i was taking it off when i remembered i wanted to get a picture
the little white spots is super glue to hold the face plate on since i wasnt using the aem cover. should used a permanent marker on it lol

well heres the newest update, honestabe hooked me up with some Earls front brake SS lines. So ill install those some day lol, I just ordered my wastegate flange inlet/outlet. found the stock crack case ventilation hose ordered a new TB gasket. now all i need to get so far is
1 valve cover bolt
4 turbo studs
1 1/8"bspt plug
And exhaust manifold bolts.
need to find someone to weld up my turbo housing to a sharp 90 degree. then laster on i will probably have to order some small sections of IC pipes once the engine is back in for "final" fitment lol

Each 90 fitting is = to 10 feet of straight hose for resistance to flow.....
At least use 90 sweeps NOT elbows..

Glad my brake lines went to a good home. They've been collecting dust in the bag for a year now.

there is only 3 elbow
2 are on the fuel rail, 1 on the tank.
also was there ever proof of this? I know there was a conversation and i was going to do some virtual testing on flow rates but i never got across to it

i failed fluid dynamics we will see how well it holds up when the engine is in and injectors are firing

today has been a day of driving back and forth with the girlfriend but meanwhile i had a chance here and there to pick up some stuff.
New exhaust manifold studs/lock-washers/nuts
New Turbo studs/lock-washer/nuts
replacement for the 1 missing valve cover bolt lol
took the 1/8 bspt plug off of my spare engine to plug a oil feed hole that im not using.
everything is mounted temporarily again just to make sure it all was correct
only thing i had a problem with was the upper left stud for the turbo hitting the vband its ok i had a shorter one on hand
i also received my wastegate flange today, which ended up being a wrong order so i have to send it back and make sure i get the correct one this time

Wrong orders BOOO!!!
Great example why customizing things makes projects take so long.
I feel you on the valve cover bolt, mine disappeared into thin air when I went to check torque values at the studs.

Me too man. If I'm lucky Gord will ship my much needed parts very soon and things will go as planned for once this month.
engine is together, transmission is attached getting it ready to drop in again.
TB gasket is at the store
need to pay for wastegate flange inlet/outlet
weld the 90 degree elbow to the turbo
and then go from there
i hope it all fits lol
