Hey guys,
So I decided to start tucking my engine bay. I didn't expect to go as far as I am now, but once I started hiding things, I wanted to hide more & more stuff. I'm not going to the extreme like coomer did, just wanted to clean up the motor a bit. Engine before I started the tuck, it was neat, but I wanted to venture further.  I started with the passenger side, because its the easiest.  I had to remove the fenders, front bumper, and eventually the hood. I will get better pics tomorrow, my camera ran out of battery. Here is a blurry cellphone pic of the frame rail tucked.  I'm happy with the results, then the wiring to the alt and O2 sensor started to annoy me. lol So I jumped in on the drivers side Here is some of the tuck and the relocated fuse box  I can't believe how time consuming this is. I have the engine harness out of the car now, I will rewire the entire harness so I can completely hide it. Blurry pic warning, its getting there.  I still have a ton of work to do on it, consider that the almost half way point, still plenty of things to hide and relocate. I have a feeling I'm gonna pull the engine  I will get some better pics tomorrow. Any suggestions ? DEF --------------------  I will return one day. |

In the process of gathering all parts needed to finish this project.
As i do not have direct access to my car I need some help with the fuel line. I'm thinking about buying this kit to replace my fuel filter. I like the idea of a whole kit, takes out a lot of the guess work. Will the banjo fit the stock pressure regulator ? Its a 5/8-20 banjo fitting....... http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EDL-8103/

Edelbrock 8103 i talked to manny about this the other night (sorry forgot to get back to you) the biggest thing that we would need to find is a filter that can handle the amount of fuel our fuel pumps will be pumping. im guessing with the 3s swap you have a 255l pump as do i. all of the filters ive found only pump 130gpm, which isnt enough to handle the 255 pump. idk what the specs on that filter you posted is bc the link didnt work for me, but if its pushin 130gpm like the ones ive seen, then it prob wont work that well. we dont want fuel restiction with this motors lol. -------------------- st205 powered ss3 coupe
