Thanks bud! I see it says that is a 5 0z. tube. Is that enough to do both plenums?

I went ahead and ordered two tubes. I know I'll need some later too.

That's a good idea. I have an extra tube in my spare parts box in my truck.

The 5oz. tube is enough to do the whole engine

"Anywhere that metal on metal connects without a gasket" ...

Have any of you put it on your exhaust manifolds?!

Well, I spent a lot of hours in the shop this weekend, but didn't get what I wanted to accomplished. I'm having a hard time laying over the core support to do much under the hood. I'm still kinda limited on certain movements and positions I can get in and it has been very frustrating this weekend. I wanted to get the T500 put in, but didn't. I'm gonna give that a shot this evening. I got all the e-fuel and turbo oil feed and drain mocked up on the stand, got the wiring for the e-fuel ran, the pump and filter assembly mounted and played around with the IC piping trying to get a plan for it. As soon as the sealer for the plenums gets here, I'm gonna try to pull those if I can stand laying up there for very long. I also I'm gonna try to get the up pipes and collector all welded up and take that and the mount to work tomorrow and sand blast and paint it. We'll see what I can get done tonight.

Good luck and God speed. Don't hurt yourself. I can't imagine laying across the core support feels too great on that incision. :-/

Got the up pipes and collector welded up tonight, and got the plenums off and the valley cleaned up good. That was about all the leaning over the core support I could stands for tonight.....but it was more than last night at least! I took a few pics of the regulator when I mocked it up on the stand the other night and the pump and filters mounted.

I used a 1/8" x 2" brass nipple in the driver side head to extend the return fitting out where you can get to it.


I'm using all hard lines this time. The only rubber lines there will be is 6" piece of 5/16" going from the regulator to the return line, and about a 2" piece of 3/8" to connect the supply line to the splitter I made. I didn't get any pics of all that when I had it on the stand, but hopefully I'll be getting the turbo, plenums and e-fuel all put in the truck if not during the week, then this weekend. I'll get some pics of it all installed.








I also took the EBPS tube off to clean it this evening, and to my surprise, it wasn't plugged up!
