Finally got the pickup tube flange installed. The trick was bending the hanger to fit and hold the rear flange better, then getting a longer 5/16 bolt which you can feed deeper and hold onto better to start the thread.



Finished product.

Using a longer 5/16" bolt to get the thread started better.

Got my Fore FlexLP lines (-8an feed, -6an return) ran up through my torque tube I have hose heat shielding I am going to wrap with and tuck away nicely. Fabricating a bracket now for my fuel pump to mount up in my rear fender well. Finally found a nice spot as there isn't much room. It's moving along!

This last pic is playing tricks on me.... Is your lift in middle of your yard?

I relocated my e-brake to fit my fuel pump in so flow was nice with NO 90* bends.

I also squeezed in a trans cooler in there.

Oh and I fabricated a nice bracket to get my fuel pump in there with no other mods and I am using 90 and 120 degree fittings to make it all work. No bending of hose for sure. It's looking good so far. But was challenging which makes me love it. Fun stuff it's nearly there!! Should be running by end of weekend!!!

Fuel pump bracket fabricated to fit perfectly bolted to frame with stainless bolts in wheel well and it’s even with fender liner. Trying in feed and return line now and wiring up relay from battery and Holley CRFUELER output for ACC.

I mounted mine so it was parallel to the gas tank bung.. I hope it doesn't cavitate on you like that. Look up their info on placement.

why would it do that Drew? The pickup is as low in the tank as you can get. I am using the largest lines possible for that pickup tube with good flow design. I have it heat wrapped near every heat source. Cavitation usually results from heat or lack of flow. That inlet is short I think I would be ok worse case I can revamp it.

I will do some homework on it. Being a supplemental pump not my main pump I was sure this would be fine it’s just boosting pressure. Either way thanks Drew always trying to learn and do things better. I can tell you there isn’t many places to mount this HUGE pump. It’s a lot bigger than it looks.

Yeah, that is a big *** pump. That space feels a lot smaller when you're actually trying to mount something in it.. good job on getting it to fit cleanly.

Appreciate it! It’s coming together now. Got my relay ACC wire ran down tunnel. Also wrapped up my Y with check valve. Then I come off both factory primary and secondary into my Aeromotive regulator setting to 60psi intitially with boost line for increasing on boost. Came off my regulator to my first T which directly feeds my HPFP then comes off to another T will will feed my both of my Holley Rails and FIC 1000cc port injectors. I tell you with a 20k rpm dewalt high speed grinder and cut off wheel 5” it’s a breeze to cut and work with this FlexLP line. I wouldn’t go with anything else after working with it. Extra money is so worth it.

ACC relay wire from Holley feed which comes down torque tube into loom into heat shielding back to wheel well where relay is going to be mounted.

Entire secondary fuel system done. Wiring done. Tomorrow will throw in Procharger and intercooler and mount Holley ECU in passenger fender well. Plug in rest of harnesses and fire her up for the first time. Let’s hope tomorrow is a good day! Been a long challenging complex build completely by myself. In fact just about anyone can do this stuff it’s not much to it.

You have to be shitting me. Well might as well add it to the list had to trim back my cowl this morning for my holley rails to fit. I just finished my entire fuel system this morning added my aeromotive filter in rear. So I can easily clean it. Praying Chris Crawford can prime my pump or get me around my mounting location issues. I know where I mounted it isn't ideal but its the best I could do without truly hacking up my car or removing my brake ducts which I DO NOT want to do.

Mounting the Procharger and intercooler soon as fiance and I get back from Church this morning. Thanks Drew!!

Installed Aeromotive fuel filter in the only spot I can logically service it. It’s semi blocking my brake duct but being a glass half full person it cools the fuel down a bit the way I see it as well as still offering brake cooling.

Holley ECU main power tied to battery (required) and fuel pump constant to battery done. tested by using Holley secondary fuel pump wire temp 12v to fuel pump relay ACC and fuel pump came right on. Now Chris can totally control my fuel pump with the Holley system.
