do you have to remove the front bumper to change it or can you pull back the wheel well or lower panel to change?
You can take the wheel off and pull the panel back.

You are able to pull it up out the top without removing anything. I have done it 3 times now.

Looking at switching to E85, FIC1000s with fuel system. Looking to make 850-900. Think the 1000s will be enough?

Was going to get another of Weng, but didn’t want to bother him before I am directly ready to pull the trigger.

Incredibly easy, outside of removing the notch from the VMP BAP.

it was easy, except for drilling the holes for the mounting bracket. The metal is too hard for normal drillbits. And you can forget self threading screws.

I just replaced mine last week. I removed the top plastic radiator cover and also removed the radiator support bracket and it gave me plenty of room to pull the whole tube out with no issues. Doesn't take long either.

Yeah I’m about to get started on this soon, I know this sounds dumb but I literally have only used a drill once in my life for my front splitter lol. Another obstacle ahead 🫡

A decent drill bit will make your life easier but I used self tapping screws. It wasn't easy but it worked. So if all else fails, it's possible. It took a good amount of force and a very uncomfortable position lol.

I believe 1000s are too small. Don't quote me on that but you'd most likely want bigger injectors so they aren't running topped out.

Buy quality drill bits, and start with a smaller pilot hole. It's easy peasy if you do that.

Mine was pushing around 850 on FIC 1000s and all fueling parameters looked good. Never pushed it to more but they could have been close to hitting their limit and I just found a comfortable threshold. Approaching 900 I’d have elected to go to 1300s and never worried about it.

Looks like it. If my car had that id keep it. Just strip away what you need to.

A tip for putting the seat back in, use the seat belt and buckle it on both sides to hold the seat belt latch through the little opening while you maneuver the seat back in.
