This is Earl's Ultra Pro hose and it is by far the nicest hose I have ever worked with. It is super flexible, light weight, and looks fantastic. Sadly, for some reason, Earl's no longer sells this hose in sizes smaller than AN-10. I had a 6 foot section of AN-6 hose that I had purchased a while back.
So I decided to use it to make some of the needed hoses under the hood. This is the fuel rail crossover that links the two rails together in the front.
The original plan was to have the Mighty Mouse catch can mounted to the master cylinder mount. However, with the Bosch iBooster in place, that was no longer an option. I got on the MM website and saw they had a basic mount that was designed to bolt to the head.
Mounting it to the front of the heads was not an option. The passenger side has the turbo and the driver's side has the alternator. I could have modified this mount to work on the driver's side front, but instead, I chose to flip it around and mount it to the back of the driver's head.
It fit perfectly in the back.
It places it approximately in the same location as the MC mount. There is plenty of clearance all around the can and the mount.
I got this 150 degree fitting and some Earl's Ultra Pro hose in AN-10.
The hose then gently bonds to the catch can.
And in the front, it passes under the plate that holds the boost solenoids.
Lastly, this arrived.....
This is the
Hardwire Electronics 25 channel PDM.
I saw these guys at the PRI show and was very intrigued by the product. This has way more channels than I need for the moment, but I may eventually have it handling the power distribution for the whole car. For now, the original harness will take care of all the interior and exterior lighting and the power windows. The Hardwire PDM will be use for the EFI, AC, and any other system under the dash.
The Hardwire PDM also supports the Holley 3rd Party CAN protocol (AKA the Racepak protocol), so I will be able to do some neat things. More to come on that much later when I start on the wiring.
