Apex Motorsports Washer Tank Relocation Kit & Air Scoop
By: SOPMOD & Billy Speed I have to apologize to Apex; I have been overwhelmed with my real job, car shows and starting a car club. Nevertheless, Chase sent me their Washer Tanker Relocation kit and Air Scoop last August. I finally got it installed today. The install was very straight forward and anyone with basic mechanical skills should be able to complete the install with ease.The car we used is a 2010 Camaro 1SS and already had a CAI previously installed. We also removed the front bumper cover in order to do some other work. While we had the bumper cover off, we also completed this review. The removal of the front bumper cover is not necessary to complete the install of this kit. http://southjerseycamaro.com/product...s/image002.gif The kit removed from the package * http://southjerseycamaro.com/product...s/image004.gif Once we had the car jacked up and wheels removed. It was necessary to remove the attached screws and push pins that retained the inner fender cover. Inner fender (wheel well) cover removal points. http://southjerseycamaro.com/product...s/image006.gif Once push pins and screws are removed the inner fender cover can be pulled back out of the way to allow access to accomplish the installation. * * http://southjerseycamaro.com/product...s/image008.gif This is the factory pump before removal * * http://southjerseycamaro.com/product...s/image010.gif Pump removal and draining of the tank. * * http://southjerseycamaro.com/product...s/image012.gif This is the area in the plastic shroud that needs to be removed. We used masking tape and made the cut with a wiz wheel. http://southjerseycamaro.com/product...s/image014.gif Making the cut with wiz wheel. Bumper cover is removed. This made it easier for us to photograph the install process. Note: This install does not require bumper cover removal. http://southjerseycamaro.com/product...s/image016.gif We used a hand file to clean the edges after we made the vertical and horizontal cuts. http://southjerseycamaro.com/product...s/image018.gif This is the scoop from the front, showing the two mounting locations. http://southjerseycamaro.com/product...s/image020.gif The new 2 quart tank mounted on the scoop and the factory pump is in place. http://southjerseycamaro.com/product...s/image022.gif Routing of the remote fill hose. We used zip ties to secure it outside of the CAI. http://southjerseycamaro.com/product...s/image024.gif We decided to mount the remote fill on the CAI as suggested in the instructions. The CAI was removed and marked for drilling locations. http://southjerseycamaro.com/product...s/image026.gif Drilling the mounting holes for remote fill.*** http://southjerseycamaro.com/product...s/image028.gif Once remote fill was mounted, we re-installed the CAI. http://southjerseycamaro.com/product...s/image030.gif This is what everything looks like after the installation is completed. Note: Bumper cover is removed for photos. http://southjerseycamaro.com/product...s/image032.gif The scoop also lines up well with Stillen air ducts. We did have to modify the scoop to clear the Stillen air ducts. This was a well thought out kit and I really think Apex knocked it out of the park! It was a very simple installation and only took about an hour to fully complete. Most anyone with basic mechanical skills should be able to accomplish this install with ease. We honestly did not find anything negative about the kit and found everything needed to complete the install was included in the kit. So if you have a CAI, this is a must do modification that is very reasonably priced. Contact Chase at Apex Motorsports for this kit and many other aftermarket components. They are truly a customer service oriented company that will go above and beyond to meet your needs. http://southjerseycamaro.com/product...s/image034.gif http://southjerseycamaro.com/product...s/image036.gif Phone: 502-930-APEX(2739) http://www.apex-speed.com/ |

Makes it alot easier to drill the remote fill holes. I guess if you had a right angle drill you could do it in place? SOPMOD...OUT! |
That is an outstanding installation thread. Thank you for taking the time to put it together and posting it. :bow:

Great DIY thread. My CAI w/ scoop is on the way and I appreciate all the info. I'm planning on using two jack stands. Will that work? Also, do I need a torque wrench for the wheel?
