Evo X upgrades

[Murlo26]

The factory relay still controls the main pump on the blaqops kit. Blaqop's provides another relay for the secondary pump. I swapped my relay last week:)

Did you do the fuel pump relay swap already, or does the double pumper bypass that?

I do have the upgraded (green) relay already. The new setup will run the first pump off that relay and the second pump off of another relay/controller.

well did you try the double pumper install? Have fun? :)

It was postponed until tonight. I'm confident that it won't be fun nor look pretty...I just hope I have everything that I need to make it functional.

Shawn (simulatedwood) is the man tonight! He allowed me to run over to his parent's place since they have a great heated garage with a lift.

We swapped out the fuel rail, underhood lines and filter in pretty good time. The Boomba rail has a fitting for a fuel pressure gauge and that came in super-handy as the night wore on.

There were a couple surprises with the BlaqOPs install. One was that you have to cut off the stock hoses from the hard lines under the car and add new ones. No big deal but it would have been handy if they were included or the procedure actually explained in the instructions. The second probably represented a few hours of troubleshooting--BlaqOPs reversed polarity when they wired my pumps. Took a little time to figure that one out since it's the last thing we had expected.

I took one photo of the sender transferred over to the Full Blown hanger. I'll take more pics tomorrow...at a civilized hour. lol

^told you cutting the stock hose from the hard line sucked, I warned you! LOL.

So did you get it all in?

He did get it all in. The fuel pump is a work of art, but would have been nice if it was wired right. With with a little troubleshooting, it is all sorted out, and he is good to go.

It wasn't bad with a lift. ;) I imagine you just jacked it up...not quite as pleasant.

Did a new line come with your kit or did you buy some hose? Did you replace both pressure and return lines?

When I got home I had some rod bearings waiting for me. That means I can give Shane a call and ask when I can drop off the car. :1smiley.php:

Yea, that's why i had to go buy jackstands and a jack:) In the instructions he said you can do that from above, yea right.

It came with hose, i just replaced the pressure side, not return side.

Ok, cool. Now that I think of it, the Full Blown kit did come with one piece of 30r9 but it looked like it was only a foot long. I'll have to check if that is long enough for one of the two connections. It might be...it's a short run.
