KUP Water Vapor System Here are some pics of my Water Vapor System install. I ordered the whole kit to try to keep my blackbird cooler. I have my stock temp sensor in the stock location in the driver's side head, that will read 195 degrees consistantly. I also have an autometer gauge reading off the passenger side head which puts it over #8. Which will read 210-220, or more depending on traffic or if I hotlap it at the track. Which is not a good thing to have with (in my setup) larger shots of spray. We'll see how well this helps this summer when all my snow melts.
Out with the old.
To make it easier to install the driver's rear block. I removed the valve cover. It also helped that my cowling was cut away and I don't have a passenger wiper.
In with the new.
Finished install.
Now all I have to do is start it and bleed the cooling system and put my cowling plastic back on.

I put pst sealant on them. Since I can't see the back ones I want to make damn sure they don't leak. So I just did them all. I know the AN side didn't need it, that was just preventitive.
Since they don't come with any directions and I haven't found writeups on it I did it the sameway I do any bolt that goes into a coolant passage.

That's a clean setup too. I was debating with making my own lines in black like that. But these go with the rest of the black/silver theme pretty well. I just wish my fuel rails were silver also.
Surprisingly it doesn't really move. So I think it should be fine, otherwise I'll just get out the touchup paint

I went totally cheap...used my OEM 4-port crossover (98-2000 style). cut off the hose nipple and welded on a -4AN Bung.
Looks like a really nice bolt on setup, I like stuff like that.
You can also tap the heads and put a NPT/AN fitting right in the head. and run this setup Lower profile, less fitting, less leaks, simple to work on....

Can someone explain whats wrong with the factory setup. Would this be good for a street car, feel like a newb again lol. All I know is steam/vapor is air and probly could get trap in the head. Am I close here?
