Planning out my install before jumping into anything.

1. Which side did you guys put your bottles on? Drivers or passengers, and why?

2. Drill a hole and route line under car or go under interior panels/door channels and through firewall?

3. Best place to send remote switch wire through dash?

4. Last but not least, the Zex doesn't have the separate components, it's all in one purple box that's solenoid, logic switch, etc. Where's the best real estate to mount that which will give me good access for the FPR vacuum? The car came with a CAI so there's some space on the PS apron...

Any input's greatly appreciated. I'd love to avoid any pitfalls that you can tell me about.

Thanks!

To each their own, but I don't like seeing MSD boxes and such in the engine bay.  You say it needs a line to the FPR, so that crosses out having the box in the car.  Myself, I'm thinking maybe it could be hidden under a stock airbox(never was a fan of the look of those CAI).  That, or maybe hidden on the outside of the inner apron, maybe where the battery sits.

I don't think hiding it will work too well, it needs to be within vacuum line distance of the fuel pressure regulator...  I think it will go on the PS apron behind the bend of the BBK CAI.

Thanks sweetie.

The one thing that I found on the MMFF site said they dropped the fuel tank to do it.  I don't want to do that.  If I do, I'm doing massive fuel pump while I'm at it and that will set me back a month or so for fundage.

Passenger side. Where the bottle is mounted, I can open bottle from drivers seat. I ran the line under the carpet along the door sill. I used -8 braided line for the blow down with a bulkhead fitting where it goes through the floor.

Just drop the tank to get the bolts in for the mounting brackets and be done with it.

Don't race it if you're afraid to break it.
