Quick pics of HFS-5 Install

dudical26 · Jun 17, 2007, 03:31 PM

I have nearly finished my HFS-5 install and I wanted to toss up a couple pics of how things are looking so far. When its all done I will have a detailed write up so this is just a bit of a preview.

MANY MORE PICS CAN BE FOUND HERE

My Install Guide

Wires ran in loom under door sills

DDS3 and FIA2 mounted in glove box

DDS3 gauge

Edit:

I spent a little more time working on the project last night.
I added a switch that allows me to manually disable my failsafe solenoid so that I can choose to run high boost without the HFS-5 turned on (for race gas)
The switch is shown closed(failsafe active)

I also lowered the meth tank so it sits lower on the bracket and I cleaned up the wires in the trunk a bit more.

I like the 52mm gauge pod u got! Where did u get it from?

Very professional install!

Nice job I like the use of the slit loom

Hey just noticed, do you want a straight fitting to replace the 90 degree swivel for the pump supply......looks like it might help to make a straight from the filter to the pump?

The pod is what comes with a DEFI BLUE RACER gauge. my friend bought a blue racer gauge and did not need the pod so he gave it to me. I would think that you could just buy them from Defi though.

actually yes, that is why I have not connected the pump yet. I was hoping to get one from you when you got them in stock, last time you said you were waiting on them. When we get together soon to set up the gauge and tap the nozzle, may you can bring one.

Aarrggg sorry for that, I did get some in and must have forgot about the conversation.

Also, did you say you wanted one of the new tanks I just got in, what I have is a 4qt not a six quart but it will work if you looking to add capacity? If so I'll make sure to save you one.

bump...added some new pics to the first post. Any idea's for what else I can do to clean the install up more?

thats 1st class installation there! once the liner goes back on, it will look perfect

Great pictures of a great install.

PLease highlioght some probelm areas during the install. It will really help us to improve the instructions and components.

Abner - I will not be re-installing my liner as my trunk is totally empty for weight reasons, although I think it will still look pretty good. And thanks for the compliment; it means a lot considering how great a job you did on your install.

Richard - I have been working more on my write-up and install instructions. I am doing my best to help make the install as easy as possible for others. Unfortunately I have not yet installed my nozzles so I can not describe that process yet.

If you guys want to take a look at what I have so far as a sort of rough draft for the write up I will post it here. Please let me know if you have any suggestions for it.

Home depot aluminum strips lol ftw I used the same things.... looks great man. Here is my similar setup.

dudical26 · Jun 20, 2007, 02:20 PM

Richard - I thought of two suggestions for possible improvements.

Perhaps including 2 or 3 spare wires (I think there is currently only 1 spare wire) that can be used for failsafe solenoids or outputs to ECU's.

Also the hinges on the junction box case seem kinda flimsy and are tuff to close when there are a lot of wires going into the JB. I placed a zip tie around by JB to hold it closed without having it bulge out. Perhaps a slightly thicker plastic could be used.

Edit - Also what about relocating the fuse for the pump to be on the other end of the wire (near the battery). Otherwise you have a power line running through your car connected to the battery which is unfused untill it gets to like 6" before the pump.

Richard L · Jun 20, 2007, 03:10 PM

Thanks for the advice.

Spare wires are good idea. I will add them. The current box will changed soon. It is made with conductive plastic to avoid static electricity damage. I am currently looking for improvement on this side.

Fuse location is deliberate, I want the relay toto be audible when the fuse is removed so diagnosis is easier without having to power up the pump every time the relay clicks.
