Custom Fuel System Continued... (Lots of pics) Fuel system is all but finished. Not all of the lines were hooked up in these pictures, but you can see how the setup works. Just posting up looking for a little feedback...
Original project idea: https://ls1tech.com/forums/fueling-injection/774039-sumped-tank-build-final-w-pictures.html
Front view, Weldon regulator and fuel line feeds:
Fuel Pump:
Feed from tank (Fire suppression nozzle on left):
Connection for fuel level sender, plus wires/lines. The nitrous line comes out under the seat drain hole and circles back. What is included? 1.) 8AN feed, 2.) 8AN return, 3.) Nitrous line, 4.) Fire suppression feed, 5.) Power for fuel pump 6.) Rear brake line:
Heat shielding:
Thoughts/opinions?

Looks very nice.
One question... do I see the regulator sitting between the front ports on the rails? What is hooked up to the backside ports onthe rails? Does that reg have a 3rd/return port? If so, that should return to the tank. If not, the reg will restrict flow between the rails. Thats a no-no.

The regulator is mounted on the driver's side valve cover. The feed line from the tank/pump splits (not pictured) and feeds the back of the fuel rails. The front of the fuel rails feed out to the regulator. The return line isn't hooked up in these pictures, but it goes to the bottom of the regulator.
It looks like this:
[TANK]->[PRE-FILTER]->[PUMP]->[POST-FILTER]->[Y-SPLIT]->[FUEL RAILS]->[REGULATOR]->[RETURN LINE]

Aahhhh. Yes. Thats perfect. Nice and balanced plumbing setup. Hahahaha. I didnt see those other hoses and only saw the rail lines going to the reg and thought WTF is he doing? 
That looks awesome. Good quality **** too.

It's been almost three years, and the goods and bads in life keeps happening "around" this project... leaving little time for it. I'm still moving forward with the turbo project, but I'm tired of never enjoying driving my car. I decided to throw the stock engine back in (including the exhaust) while I finish the new engine (which at the rate I do everything will be a year or longer).
