Heya, just thought I'd share an install I just did on an OWWWDEE!

John dropped off his beautiful B5 S4 at my place on Friday night. I laid the smack down that night till about 3am, worked most of the day Saturday, then spent a few hours sunday and tonight troubleshooting some issues and buttoning this beast up.

Bi-pipes all tapped and sealed:

Tank drilled and starting sealing process:

Tank mount roughed in:

Fluid tubing and pump control/power wrapped in fancy wiring loom/protective sheath, then run nicely through wiring channels:

Routed and mounted flow sensor under ECU:

then cleaned up wiring:

and note the standard 'scheides' gaugepod, LOL. 2 zip ties and the dash vent! Sits nice and perfect :D

I must say, the new HFS-3 kit is an absolute leap above the HFS-1 in terms of fit and finish. I'm very very happy with how the whole kit turned out, and really even more excited to think about putting one on my Evo X :)

2.5 gallon main tank with .25 quart surge tank anyone? I think so...

Verry nice man, very clean.

What was the issue that was holding you up anyway?

The HFS-3 is a newer kit and has more install options. The injector/ecu harness needed +12v on the red wire on igniton and the green wire needed to see injector signal. I was going over it today with Thielen(bananas) and we pulled out the manual, and of course the one spot I hadn't read....sigh. Oh well, she's all buttoned up now :D

Quick pic of the car, very nice dark blue color with some 18" S8 (?) rims.

The setup is kinda silly right now though, Aquamist, full catless dual exhaust ($$$!), K04 turbos, ER bar&plate intercoolers with carbon fiber shrouds, bilstein coilovers, etc, but the car is on the stock tune/injectors! God I hate the stupid chipped-only tuning design, so silly...the thing only runs 9psi. 9! This setup is ready for 25 :)
