Default Help with ecs e85 fuel system

I am trying to install the ecs stage 1 e85 fuel system the the aeromotive A1000 but have a few questions about it and ecs haven’t responded to my emails. Where does the relay wiring mount? I set it up right next to the pump but the wire going to the alternator won’t reach without extending it. And also does the hobbs switch also mounts next to the pump and wiring and get a hose long enough to connect it to the vacuum source? Or would it be better to extend the harness wires and set up the hobbs switch in the engine bay closer to the vacuum source? I would appreciate it if anybody who has installed this could help.

Thats a good idea. It would be nice to have the relay and fuse in an easy area to access in case you ever need to. I didn’t think of that. I’ll definitely do that, thanks russ. Where did you route your wires to the pump? Seems like through the rocker panel would be the only way

The hobbs switch can easily go off of the brake booster, I mounted my relay under the hood latch. All of the wires reached back fine to the pump going through the rocker panel.

Not on all blowers. On my Eforce the brake booster will never see boost.

I guess that is true, I was assuming the OP had an ECS kit along with the fuel system.
