SLOWLS1's 2010 2SS Build Journal

[SlowLS1]

Fuel system in finished except for terminating the pump trigger wires. I won't do that until I'm ready to prime the system.
Fuel Filter with stock FPS mounted on outside of frame rail. Flex Fuel sensor is mounted just in front of the tank. Fuel lines run into the wheel well and up through the cabin filter. From there into the cowl and exits behind the intake. Fuel pressure regulator mounted on the timing cover and hard lined return to the firewall. Everything is PTFE. I am designing a cover for the lines in the wheel well, Still a work in progress.

Eventually I will come back and paint the chassis. It needs it.

[Ashen 6.2]

great work continues! I have contemplated moving my fuel line that way as well to get it away from the exhaust.

[SlowLS1]

I’m pretty happy with how it laid out. I’m not scared to cut a little metal so it allowed me to do it the way I did.

New part day!

Hey, that's a nice looking ground cable you got there. Are you available for hire? I'm gonna need you to come and wire up my S10 build.

It's a lot to take in, but well thought out and neatly executed.

It's all too easy to rush assembly and just cobble stuff together. Car show judges will pick that apart if it ain't a neat and clean fabrication/installation - no matter how nice and $$ the parts are.

Well done - Mechanical Art at it's finest. Awaiting the day when the key get's turned, she starts and runs, and everything get's tuned in.

Yes sir it is a nice cable.

And no, not for hire My OCD would never allow me to work on someone else's project.

Thanks hesster, means a lot coming from you and ability to create quality work.

I'm a real stickler for the little details. I enjoy design and fabrication the most.

Intake is nearing completion. I had 2 goals with this project, make as much as possible disappear, and elicit the response, "That's clean". Intake was a major part of this task.

*Vacuum block mounted to the side of the intake as I think it looks nice.
*All vacuum lines are PTFE.
*Hobbs switch mounted on back of intake and hidden.
*Hide as much of the TB wiring as possible. Not completed but you can get the idea...

Let me know what you think...

Turbo oiling is finished. 4AN feed from just above the oil filter. 8AN drain back to the scavenge pump and to the passenger valve cover. I may move the drain from the valve cover to a better location at some point.

Wastegates are plumbed for manifold vacuum. 4 AN lines for all.

It's hard to get good pics, but attached a few anyways.

You and Hesster have such attention to detail. Absolutely insane.

What's size injectors are you going to use and what's the power goal?

Appreciate it! It's the little details that make it mine.


I went with Id 1300 injectors. 1xxx on the dyno, dialed back to around 800 on the street.

Got the fuel system tested today. Ran each pump separately for 15 minutes, and dialed in the fuel pressure. No leaks except for a minor drip at the regulator. Tightened it a bit and all was happy. Also enabled the flex fuel sensor. It also is working.
