~Hellion Twin Turbo Install on my 2013 GT/CS~

[04sleeper]

OK. Had a chance to run the feed and return lines today and mount the filter.

Over all, the new PTFE fittings were relatively easy to assemble.

Got to try a sample PTFE line with the black "Conductive Carbon" inner core. This is approved for air craft and will not degrade over time or cause static like other PTFE line.

First step is to pull back the stainless steel so you have room for the Olive connector.

Next I installed the Olive between the stainless and PTFE inner hose.

Then I put the end fitting into my soft jaws in my vise with very little pressure and pushed on the hose to the fitting.

Then I turned the hose so it was facing up in the vise and tightened the fitting down with a 7/8" socket and ratchet.

Next up was to mount the filter. The filter comes with self tapping screws, but the floor pan where I wanted to mount it was very thick. So I drilled and tapped it.

Here are the screws I used to secure it to the bottom of the car.

I decided to mount the filter right behind the rocker panel on the drivers side for easy serviceability.

Here are the hoses hooked up to the hat.

I just followed the factory routings for ease of installation. Here's where it runs down from the front corner of the tank.

There are two plastic factory guards under the car that help protect the lines and I chose to run the hose under like the factory. You can see where I ran the feed line out for the filter.

Here I used another supplied cushion clamp and ran the line back under the factory panel.

Here is where the lines runs up the inner wheel well following the factory lines.

Then up into the engine bay behind the drivers side strut tower. I taped off the ends so nothing would get into them.

For the regulator, I decided to fab up a quick mount to work with the mount on the regulator.

Since the sound tube was deleted, this left two existing holes for the bracket.

Now I just have to run the hoses to the rails and install the injectors! :-D

That catch can is a beauty

Looking great :rockon::rockon:

I like the catch can and the ID1000s. I have a set of ID1000s, but may need to move up to the 1300s.

Got the fuel system done!

Mocked up the fuel rails.

I used two 90* fittings on the front for the crossover.

After tightening the fittings, I installed the ID1000's and bolted the rails down.

Then I had to make a line for the crossover. Here's a good shot of the fittings and line.

Got both rails and injectors installed. Foam covers back on the rails and heater lines back in place as well as the vacuum lines. I kept the crossover line short and sweet to keep clearance for the stock engine cover.

Here you can see the bracket I made for the regulator to bolt to the sound tube holes.

Soldered and heat shrink the connection for the fuel pump trigger.

Then I wired up the Hobbs Switch from the 2nd pump.

Here you can see, the Hobbs Switch triggers the 2nd pump.

I was also able to mount my new catch can set up. I had to use spacers to set it away from the firewall so it would be easier to access and give room for the fuel pump wiring fuse.

That is great! Congrats on the build (so far)!

Looks good! That crossover tube looks kind of tight. General rule of thumb is to take the length from A to B and add 5-8% for slack from vibration, heat, etc. But you obviously know what you're doing! Props to you my man.

I had time this morning to re-read the entire thread and the detail in this is amazing. I can only imagine how many times this thread will be referenced by 5.0 owners working on their own hellion TT upgrade....or, even just owners that are working with other power adders and just want to follow your fuel system modifications. First rate stuff as always, Kevin:thumbsup:

Question on the manual boost controller and how you know what boost level is set...I see the knob on top of the controller, and a "plus" and "minus" on each side...but how do you know exactly what boost level you are going to get? Is there more psi increment notches on top on the controller not obvious in this pic? Thx man

 

[mikeyfitz]

Absolutely amazing install!

You can only guess....then test in the street looking at the boost gauge.

Oh ok....click the minus enough times initially to make sure you are low...then trial road test and click up until you hit the desired level.
