How/ where are you guys running your mainline?... from tire well...

 

I usually go through the passenger side door sill.

 

+2....clean install by Speed Inc.

 

any one have pix?

 

I've got mine going right along the right side of the car, goes from spare tire well, to behind that big plastic armrest thing, down along the door sill (took me some time to get it to sit right in there so the plastic would clip down correctly), up and through a hole in the firewall behind the glove box.

 

thats what i did but i recommend taking the lower seatbelt bolt off(pull the cap off and under it is a torq bit) and run the main feed like with the wires in the wire loom, it allows the side piece to fit properly. In the firewall you will see a rubber gromet put the line through there to get to the engine bay. To allow easier access to the gromett remove the 2 10mm (i believe) cpu hold bolts and move it to the left will let you grab all the wires you want to run through there easier.

 

anyone have any pics??...

 

dont have any pics but just start the feed outside of the car, remove the pcm bolts like i said above and push the line throught the only rubber groumet behind to the left of the computer. then remove the 4 screws on the side trim panel and remove it. Look on the passanger kick panel side and you should see the nitrous ling pull it through run it along the are athe panel was remove the seat belt bolt run it under. If you are using a bottle heater run the power line at the same time for that then run it throught the plastic area were the rear speakers are and go to the truck and remove the spare tire well cover and look up in the plastic area for the line find it and pull it through. Put the seat belt bolt back in, put the trim piece in and the 4 screws and you'll be set

 

If you don't want to drill a hole through the firewall, and still route it on the passagener side you can pull the computer out that is tucked under the cowl, and run it right there

 

^^theres actually a pretty good writeup with pictures about running amp/sereo cables that way.

it was floating around the stereo electronics section last time i looked. same principles would apply

 

The passenger side door sill is the best and cleanest way to run it. imo

 

I could take pics but all u would see is the plastic linig around the passenger side of my interior....lol...i did like these guys said and just tucked it under.....well my buddy Jesse actually did it for me but u know what i mean.

 

SAFE... run it under the car.. Get it out of the car ASAP... since you would hate to have a broken line inside of the car.. Not that I have seen much broken lines, but still just the thought of the mess....

I ran mine out the bottom in one of the provided holes under the seat and floor...There is a rubber gasket there already.. Use that gasket to make a nice fit, and bam... you are in like flynn...

run main line under car, then bring into engine compartment along the fuel line feed..
Works perfect, and moints up great there..
IMO

 

not for nothing it would be hard to puncture a steel braided line ran where we are telling him to. I typical dont have badgers or swords in my car so dont have much to worry about. I'd be more afraid or branches on the road etc catching the line under my car. Just my 2 cents

 

Run as much as possible outside the car. I've had one blow a hole in it while in staging lane, needless to say it scared the sh-- out of me and was hard as hell to breath and see in the car (glad I wasn't driving the car). Hole ten pound bottle emptys out pretty quick. Depending on your line length and silenoid munting spot you can run the line next to the gas feed and return in the plastic clip. There should be an open spot for it or zip tie it up.

 

from what I have seen and heard, its just the matter of if it were to break..
I have not seen much break, but the thought of it in the car is bad..
Plus if you are racing at a good track...

ENNIS...

They checked that **** on my car... They verified the line went out of the car. NHRA **** I guess... not sure, but the techs did look at that..

These lines are pretty strong and I would think it would break the fuel line before this line under the car....
IMO.. .02c

 

i looked at the nhra rule book the other day couldnt find anything about running the line outside of the car. And what is considered a good track on that holds nhra events, pinks all out, speed channel comes up for random tapings etc or what. I've ran the car at speedworld in az, firebird in az, and my old car at englishtown in nj and atco in nj.

 

There's nothing in IHRA that talks about running the line outside the car either. I've never seen of or heard of a line bursting until now. I don't think it really matters if the line is in or out of the car. If it were so dangerous they would make you firewall the trunk, and wouldn't allow the bottle in the passenger compartment.

I've raced at Ennis before, and they didn't ask where my line was. All the wanted to know was if I had a blowdown tube and a WOT. Of course that was in my slow LT1 running 11.2's. Maybe things have changed in the last couple of years.

 

I am saying from what I heard...
As for them asking me. They did not ask me, they actually checked where the line went, and the tech then turns to me and says.. Good you did the line correctly outside of vehicle...

That is why I have always figured that it must be in the rules to run as much outside as possible....
As for the tracks that let you, then they do.. I am not 1 to argue..
But I figured I would do mine as right as I could see in my mind instead
of doing it the quick way and just dropping all lines inside.
IMO...

I know as for the blowdown, well bulk head is what I got...
But as for a switch, they didnt care...
I really dont care.. either way works for me... If you run the line inside car, cool, outside car... cool...

I like mine outside car, makes me feel better.....

 

I had mine zip-tied to the two braided fuel lines running along the subframe and into the engine bay through a hole in the inner-fender.
