Fore regulator install location?

[doodguy]

Can you guys please share where you mounted your Fore regulators?

I think this is the best idea I found, Just not crazy about drilling into the body:

That looks great!!!!

How did you turn the gauge like that? Mine points straight out.

Can you share what you mounted it to, or is it just sitting loose there?

90* fitting sets the gauge like that.

Back of the blower has two bolts. Piece of metal bent up in an "L" of sorts to bolt the regulator to that's bolted to the two back bolts.

I mounted mine behind the splash shield in the drivers side fender well. There is a pocket that it fits in.

You're not afraid of the wheel or road debris or something hitting it there?

Have any pics?

Mines in same vicinity as yours on shock tower.

No the plastic wheel liner covers everything up. You can't tell I have a fuel system from the engine bay. I didn't want lines running all over the place to see.

This is a mock up picture before I plumbed it. I ran the lines right up behind the brace.

we usually do on the shock tower

If you don't want to drill in to the strut tower, just buy some aluminum and bend up a bracket that uses one of the strut tower studs to secure it. Form it down the strut tower then make a small bend where you can drill hold to mount the regulator to. I've done this with throttle cable brackets as well as regulator mounting. However, [MENTION=18245]amhauke[/MENTION] has a super clean set up going on there and I really like it.

Used a bracket and bent it to shape to mount to an existing hole.

NHRA tech probably would not like the regulator mounted to the back of the supercharger, just saying.

This is true. Any track that enforces NHRA/IHRA rules will not allow a car to run if the regulator is mounted to the firewall or if it's less than 6" away, if I remember correctly.

From the NHRA rule book regarding fuel lines:

Lines:
All non-OEM fuel lines (including gauge and/or data recorder lines) must be metallic, steel braided, or NHRA-accepted “woven or woven-pushlock.” A maximum of 12 inches t otal (front to rear) of non-metallic or non-steel braided hose is permitted for connection purposes only; individual injector nozz le and motorcycle fuel lines are excluded. Fuel lines (except steel b raided lines) in the flywheel/bellhousing area must be enclosed in a 16- inch length of steel tubing, 1/8-inch-minimum wall thickness, securely mounted as a protection against fuel-line rupture. Fuel lines may not be routed in the driveshaft tunnel. It is mandatory that fuel lines passing
supercharger drive belts be steel braided, NHRA-accepted woven or woven-pushlock, or be enclosed in protective steel tubing. A current list of NHRA-accepted woven or woven-pushlock fuel lines is available on NHRA.com. All NHRA-accepted fuel lines must use ends that are specifically designed for the type of fuel line being used. No hose clamps allowed on NHRA-accepted fuel lines

Looks like if you have steel braided line, you're fine.
