Haha that stinks. Literally!

I can see oil residue around the pcv hose clamps. Who knows of a 5/8" 2 port oil catch can that mounts driver side? I don't want to spend $300 on the procharger UPR kit. I can buy my own fittings and hose if needed, just need a good can with a mounting solution.

Let me know what's out there.

Thanks

100% of the plumbing is done minus one line from the primary regulator to the passenger front rail. The coolant line is in the way on my car. Could be a combination of where the coolant line was placed plus the injector height, no big deal and not a fault of Jn2ning. I still have some electrical to do. Again, Jn2ning has been right there to answer every question I had. Seriously look this guy up! Sorry for the poor quality phone pics:

Ordered a universal black UPR 5/8" catch can to solve the residue issue. It shipped USPS, fingers crossed it comes lol Also picked up some wiring connectors after work to finish up the fuel system wiring. I may take a break tonight though, these body parts are sore from working on the cold shop floor last night.

Just kidding, I finished the fuel system install. I felt the groove and just knocked it out. I was able to test the fuel level sending unit and it is reading properly which is a great sign! All wiring is done. Waiting on that one fitting to clear the coolant line and then I'll test for leaks before setting fuel pressure. Maybe this coming weekend it'll be wrapped, hard to say with Thanksgiving possibly slowing down delivery of fitting. I swapped off the drag wheels and tires and brought them inside for the winter, back on with the stockers.

All this to put on a smaller pulley and make more power

I'm no artist, but here are pics with a better camera.

Engine bay, ignore the draping fuel line over the throttle body. That's extra slack waiting to be cut.

Primary regulator. You can see the fuel feed coming in the T. Part of the T connects to the HPFP and the third part out to the primary regulator. You can also see the fuel line in the back that connects the two rails.

Another shot of the T and primary regulator.

Top of the fuel hat. It looks chaotic now, but will be cleaned up and sealed after I verify there are no leaks.

Where the magic happens. Wife's ride next to Mustang. My pickup is out in the driveway to give me room to work in third bay.

Up close of one of the regulators and pressure gauges.

Where the fuel feed and return pass down into the fender area.

The fuel pump power lines run through the passenger side of the firewall and up through the fender to connect to the fuse block. There are in-line fuses on these power lines at the fuse box in the passenger foot well.

A 4 letter word that isn't cheap!

Secondary regulator.

When the UPR oil catch can I bought comes in, I'll move the pcv hoses to no longer block the fuel pressure gauge. I'll post pics when I do that.

Some more chaotic looking wiring that will look proper after leak testing.

After talking to Rob at PBD, I'll be setting the primary regulator to 58psi and the secondary regulator to 50psi. Again, hoping to get that done this weekend. More to come!

Love your updates. Please keep it up. I’ve been following since the beginning

Good news!

UPR catch can and the Fore fuel system fitting are here

Productive Thanksgiving on the way!!

Catch can is in and I moved the line out of the way of the fuel pressure gauge:

Also finished the last line for the fuel system! Next I will check for leaks and then set pressures

 

[turnswrench]

Started the car for the first time and it runs! Had a pretty large leak at the primary regulator and at the fuel T at the HPFP. I was able to adjust those even though they feel tighter than they should be and fixed both leaks. I fired the car back up and let it run briefly to chase down any other leaks and there are none. I didn't set fuel pressures yet as I want the leaked fuel to evaporate off of the headers before letting it get too warm. I'll set the pressures either tmrw or over the weekend.

The car does start and run on first attempt which is very promising.

More to come.

Well @beefcake did it again, I ordered a driveshaft and a driveshaft loop. The deals are solid, solid enough for me to skip doing suspension work. Between the fuel system and driveshaft, everyone is getting Ramen Noodles for Christmas!

Thanks Terry!

Also, thanks @mmacoyote for showing me what happens to the stock driveshaft at the track

lmao, I'm so poor right now. Everyone is jumping on black Friday deals I'm over here scratching my head.
