The car sat over night with front end torn down, waiting for me get home from work today to tackle it again.
So I took fmhe out and inspected a way for higher fitment. The only thing I could do was hack the headlight bracket.
Dremel and sawzaw my friends tonight!!
I was able dremel a section out so the fmhe could raise up 4-5" higher. I also have the hose going in to fmhe on top of bumper instead of running through it.
I wired in the pump. I wired in a switch for it so when I go to track, in the stagging, it won't run, so I can flip it on and get ice cold coolant running through via reservoir before I hit the 1/4!
I also found a tight little spot for the pump. I had to do a little dremeling to clear some space.
Perfect location.
I didn't install the one splash guard, however, I hacked the tops of, left and right, and put them back in.
The lower splash gaurd I had to hack up to clear pump, and hose, and outlet of fmhe.
I also hacked the black funnels leading from grills to radiator so the air flows more to the fmhe.
I dremeled out behind license plate cover, so when at track I can take off cover (or whenever) and get some nice air flow. I hacked the foam bumper little free up some air flow.
I plan to buy some xtreme mesh (like my grills) and make a front license plate when I plan to remove the stock license plate cover.
I had to hack the support for the hood latch too, the arm ran straight down to the lower radiator area.
I ran the hose in the engine bay like so just so I didn't have to bother taking bumper off again to run hose the outlet of the pump. That is the reason it is tiptied around the engine bay.
I got some marine sealant 5200 to work on my reservoir, since it didn't work the first time.
I got some krylon black plastic paint, hopefully this will hold on the reservoir.
Now I just need finish reservoir, and get some coolant, lim gaskets, and coolant els again.
Half way through....
