I bought the PS reservoir that beech perf makes because I didn't have one with my shell and swap. Just wondering how and where people installed it. I can't seem to think of any good ideas at the moment.
Thanks!

Thanks for the tips! I'm going to put it between the fuse box and shock tower. I'm going to make up a template out of cardboard and have a friend weld up a bracket for me.

I've always run Toyota filters out of habit, and have as such figured out a way to get a metal strap wrench in there pretty easily. Just need it to untorque it, but that's good info on the k&n, thanks man!

I actually haven't dove into the pump to res connections yet. I bought driftmotions line to go from feed on rack to pump. I had a SS line made locally for the return.
I believe this to be the correct fitting for the return, but I don't have it yet: http://www.pscmotorsports.com/-SF07-6JIC-x-17mm-1.5-I.F.-Return-Adapter-for-Toyota.html
Here is more info on the tank if you wanna check it out: http://beechperformance.com/html/toyota_products.html
Finally getting to the point where I need to tackle this. I'm mounting my PS res by the fusebox. I have it temporarily mocked up using the old 7m coil bracket with a piece of aluminum to secure it (pics to come). I'll have someone locally fab me up a legit bracket soon.
So, my problem is the bottom of the Beech Performance tank is a -8, which then has to go to the nipple on the PS pump, which I believe to be 5/8" (correct me if I'm wrong there). No -8 line will fit that without using some sort of adapter. Someone mentioned a -AN to barb adapter. I guess I'm going to need a 90 degree -8 an to a 5/8" barb adapter. Haven't started looking yet, but I'm guessing I won't find something like that.
I'm still new to this -AN and misc fitting, so if anyone knows how I can get around this, please post of suggestions!
BTW - The new Beech Performance tank features a -10 on the bottom to go to the pump, so that makes things a bit better. I really don't want to have to order another $78 PS res, though :icon_mad:
Thanks,
Ryan

If you have room, the easiest way would be a -8 an female to -10 an male adapter fitting on the bottom of the reservoir and then a -10 90* push lock fitting.
That type fitting will allow you to use virtually any rubber type hose from the bottom of the reservoir to the pump.
