Hey whats up! More 2.3 power needed

[evintho]

Got my fuel parts!!! Went with a new set of 35lb injectors, and an adjustable fuel pressure regulator, figure id let the girlfriend have some fun and have her put it all together haha, i had some questions for you guys! What/were dose the hose coming from the lower intake barb go? And what is the fuel pressure regulator look alike on my fuel rail?

Also, how do i set up new fuel lines? Are these removable hoses? Or do i put a new one over them and hose clamp it?

Thanks guys!

The hose from the fitting off the lower intake goes to the factory metal coolant lines that run off your oil filter cooler. Those metal lines will have a nipple for the hose to attach.

This is your Kirban adjustable fuel pressure regulator........

To replace those fuel lines you'll need to remove the 2 spring lock connectors that hold them on. Go pick up this disconnect tool at Autozone........

The little plastic tool slides under the spring thats internal on the spring lock connectors. It expands the spring past the lip thats in there then the fuel line should just pop off. You'll have to try it a few times to get the hang of it but you'll get it. In the above pic you can just see the spring that wraps around inside the connector. The connector is on the fuel dampner which is that round disc looking thing right next to your pressure gauge.

Thanks! Ill go nab that tool and get to practicing, and my bad, i didnt mean the regulator, im trying to figure out what the other cannister is, the one with the fuel line coming from it, is it a return line check valve? Or what? Im stumped amd i want a new pretty one

Stupid me, i could just look up the part number... my bad XD

That second regulator looking thing with no vacuum nipple is a fuel damper
New pretty one means a new fuel injector rail with a new pulse damper

What he said^^^.
If it were me, I'd just clean it up, paint it silver and call it a day. They rarely ever go bad.

Hey guys! I havent forgotten about you all or the turbo motor! im on summer break! first year of collage DONE!!!! now i can drop this engine in! after i get me all the sensors and connectors! i used some of the information i learned at school! ( im getting my aircraft maintinence licence! aka A&P licence) I Re-bent my original IHI oil line and make it into a weird hybrid Automotive 45* flare fitting to a 37* AN-4 to a male to female 90* into my new T3 turbo oil inlet. I got the IHI drain addapter from Big R, and managed to reuse my old equipment, waiting on more parts, ya know? trying to get this engine as put together as i can before i drop it in!

I bought a Vam connecter pigtail, Stinger stage 2 boost controller, and a 3" stinger downpipe extension, should be here by monday! i need to buy things like, plugs and sensors, and other emmissions stuff, and need to get new accessory's rather not chance my old ac compressor, or power steering pump. YEAAAA you heard me I want my airconditioning to work!!! im always hering stuff from my dad about how good it worked, but all the R12 leaked out and i need to convert it over to R134a, or.... just fill it with R134a

ALSO!!!!! i have some holes in my block. im assuming for sensors and stuff, but i cant remember what goes in what, i know stupid me, shoulda taken pictures. i did man i did! but the engine was so filthy i couldnt tell what i was seein. I know one of the wholes under the intake is for the catch can, and one is for the dip stick, and some for motor mounts, other than that im stumped!

also, i plan to ditch the oil cooler, so i gotta plug that lower intake hole i think right? if not i beleive my coolent temp switch goes there on my N/A motor
