2000 NBM SS long overdue build thread:
#82
Got some more items checked off the list. Oil pan is drilled and tapped for the turbo drain line. Rear end is installed. Fuel lines have been ran and everything completed with the exception of a mounting bracket for the fuel pressure regulator.
I am thinking I will have to move the alternator in order to run a 4" downpipe so I am planning that out. Also I am going to remove my rack and pinion since it is leaking. Hopefully I can just rebuild it and save some cash.

Yes sorry I have been meaning to let you know. I had about a foot left over so 20' was plenty. Keep in mind that I ran a single line from the tank to right around the brake booster on the fire wall and split into two lines to connect to the back of each rail. Both rails also run to the fuel pressure regulator which is located on the old fuel feel line.

No need to apologize! Thank you very much for the information. I've tried doing a few searches before, but everything I found was just to make the engine bay look nice. I really appreciate the response

Yes I had a factory cooler and really I went this route for a few reasons. I have heard several complaints on how the factory cooler does not work efficently and can also leak into the coolant (Which I want to avoid). Also I hate the look of the factory cooler so I wanted a way to change that up. With some people and even factory 98-99 cars not running a cooler at all I figure this little cooler will work just fine for my application. I am not auto crossing so my steering should not be under extreme stress.

Got some more accomplished last night. Received my final parts which includes two pusher fans, 80lb injectors, and a different oil drain fitting to add some more angle to my drain line. Got the oil drain and supply lines finished as well as the injectors swapped and all fuel lines righted. Next on the agenda is fans and a fair amount of wiring then I will be ready for an exhaust and tune.

I got them from cbr performance they seem to be pretty nice and the sale they are running right now made them pretty cheap.
