[QUOTE=Bryan 94 Z28]Alright alright....I went out and took some pics....

Here you go:

You can see generally how I routed the piping up in the engine compartment. However, I still have the front bumper cover on (obviously), so you can't see the routing of the pipes at the actual FMIC.

Damn, I really thought I was being original with my setup

The maf is located near where the battery/coolant recovery tank used to be. I'm using a greddy r blow off valve as a bypass. Had to cut it's spring down to get it to work properly as a bypass. It dumps out the flange on the drivers side front fender as seen here:

Damn, looks good! Is that 3.5" pipe leading from the MAF to the TB elbow?

The pipe coming straight off your blower....how'd you keep the hood from hitting that when you close it? I had to use a rubber hammer to bash some of the underside of the hood up so I could get the hood to close correctly.

I've been thinking about using a DSM 1G BOV as I hear there are some people out there using that with success.

Re: Proper Bypass Valve operation.

true, that is a clean setup under the hood. i also like the intake matching the exterior.

the pipe coming off the SC looks like it may be more rearward that yours, he doesnt have the ABS junk in the way.

oh yeah, thats one big IC!!! i think the hole he cut in the front for it may have been a little excessive though.

Yeah, the ABS crap is going to get eliminated soon. Doesn't work anyway, I just hate messing with hydraulic lines, seems like I never have good luck with those fittings....

The hood closed with no modification.
The intercooler's discharge was already 3.5", so I just left it at that.
Overkill, yup for the blower, but I'm planning on using the ptk hot parts and rolling up a turbo setup this winter.

Re: Proper Bypass Valve operation.

Bryan94Z28, hate to change the subject but I'm curious. Are your injectors pretty much maxed out? I plan to switch to at least 9 PSI and was wondering if my 42# injectors will suffice. What's your duty cycle? Are you using a Super FMU at a low setting or just the injectors alone?

I'm using the 42 lb'ers with the stock in-tank pump and the T-Rex booster pump, no FMU's, just tuning.

I just looked at my DataMaster logs from some dyno testing I did last summer and the injector duty cycles went over 100% in a couple of areas. I'd say they're pretty much maxed out with the 12 psi. I think you'd be fine with them at 9 psi, but I kinda wish I'd gone bigger on them now....however, they seem to be doing OK. The AFR's were still in the low 11's range, so I'm not too worried.
