Default Got a lot done today!!!

Started off mounting the aeromotive boost referenced fuel pressure regulator, and the braided fuel lines.


Got the air intake all set up and installed.

Ran all the hoses for the heat exchanger and the intercoolers...


Upper and lower radiator hoses are on.


Fabbed up mounts for battery tray, and installed battery.

started sorting out wiring for intercooler pump and fans

started getting E fans wired as well today. Have to pick up some more connectors to finish it up tomorrow.

Here is where I left off after getting the front end back together at the end of the day. I am so happy it is beginning to look like my truck again finally!

Default More progress today...

Mounted the computer, and hooked up the harness to it.

Mounted the relays for the intercooler puller fans and the pump, and ran the wires for them as well.

Ran the nelson harness for the E fans as well, and got that all hooked up.

Mounted the standalone harness fuseblock, and got into the old relay center under the hood to get other wires hooked into that later. I also ran all of the wires through the firewall that will need to be hooked up under the dash as well.

Finalized everything on the front end as well, and replaced all the bulbs for everything while I had it apart for good measure. This is where I left off for today.

painted the top of the radiator as well and touched up the top of the core support and the radiator mounts too.
