Big fuel pump and turbosmart regulator installed today. Just have to protect the front of the tank with reflective heat tape and should be ready to fire it up tomorrow night.

The belt guard seems like a great place to mount the fuel pressure regulator, but one blown belt will ruin it. I speak from experience!! Lol

too funny, i was thinking the same thing when i saw it, but after looking around, it seems like alot of folks are mounting it there, so i didnt say anything.

Better get rid of that regular hose clamp. And put a crimp clamp on that like pex pipe clamp. That's a fire waiting to happen

 

[NYTurbo]

Yeah the fuel pressure gauge doesn't like the hit from a blown belt. At least rubber mount it

Hey Fleece, not many options for mounting locations. Where did you mount yours?

I installed what came with the kit. Do you need a special tool for the crimp clamps?

How did you mount yours so it will last?

 

[DMCTurbo]

She's alive! Started right up and purrs like a kitten. Sure is a great feeling knowing I did all the work myself. Shout out to my friend Travis for answering all my questions and verifying my cam timing.

No problems with the clamps that come with the kit. They’ve sold 100’s of those kits. If there was an issue im sure we would of heard about it lol

Would you have any pics of the clear 3m tape on your sled, my tunnel being red looks horrible with that greyish crap running down it.
