I felt like crap Tuesday, had a cold all weekend, and no helper on Monday, so I decided to take a "vacation day" Tuesday, and work on the Vega. Got a
LOT done. :thumbup:
Got the BG400 pump and new -12 pickup fitting and hose installed:
Two return lines, one from the pump itself, and one from the regulator up front:
This is the old -8 feed line, now it's the return from the Aeromotive 13202 regulator:
Got the new -10 Pushlock Plus hose routed through the subframe connector. I had the battery cable and the nitrous
line in there before, but there is not enough room for them now, so they will be re-routed outside the subframe connector. The main reason for putting the fuel hoses inside is the NHRA/IHRA requirement for the fuel hoses to be enclosed in steel in the area of the flexplate/flywheel area, the battery cable and nitrous hose do not have the same requirement.
Aeromotive regulator, mounted on the motor plate:
Got the -10 Pushlock Plus oil return lines done on the turbos:
A few shots of the top of the motor, you can see the -8 Pushlock hose from the regulator to the carb, and the -4 braided hose to the N2O solenoid, the -4 braided hose to the F/P gauge, and the braided -3 oil supply hoses to the turbos.
Getting closer.....
