well as usual with this thing, things snowball and i end up reworking something for a better layout or due to space constraints and the usual from scratch BS.
i made new PS hardlines for the gearbox. i managed to give myself a little more room while running my new HP PS hose.
used the OEM gearbox bracket and the OEM PS cooler bracket to hold the lines tight.
ran the HP hose down next to the block behind the turbo drain bung and across the K member behind the alternator...down near where the trans cooler lines cross over.
i may use the teflon line and endura fittings to redo my HP fuel line and use std AN hose and fittings for the PS return lines from the hard line to the cooler and from there to the reservoir.
i dont want to waste the teflon line on the LP stuff.
i still have 6" of rubber hose on my fuel return line from my hack it together days...probably should fix that.
good news is the new 6" radius bends i end up with everything where i want it on the secondary's... nice gradual turns. Vband will be on the drivers side tube at the turbo merge for easy engine servicing without yanking any major components or disconnecting any lines.
still gonna be tight but i do have more room than the old 2.5" pipes and old radiator
i do wish my oil manifold had the clean oil feed at the bottom, would have given me more room for the secondary merge into the turbo. but at least i have tons of room for the WG and its dump.
meh, at least i did something.
