Thought i'd take some current shots of an install last Friday. Goal was to not touch the car in a way that originality would be lost. In case some day in the future it needed to be de-modded. Hopefully it gives an insight to a kit install for those that havent done one yet.
First step is to remove old coolant reservoir, battery hold down bracket, mark the up-pipe location for nozzle and then remove it.
Next is to remove grommets from pumps inlet side and break of the little ears that hold the grommets. Install fittings onto the pump. hand tighten them only plus 1/2-1 turn. At this point get your pump cable and insert it into the supplied wire loom. Run the cable down the inside of the passenger inner fender so it can be attached to the pump. Next is assemble your pressure hoses. The short one goes from pump to filter, longer one goes filter to nozzle. Run the short one through the core support and run the feed hose through the core support so they can reach the pump. That way when you mount the pump you can attach everything and not need to get up.
So to mount the pump you will need a 9/16 wrench, a 3/4 wrench, a 13mm wrench, a zip tie, and a set of cutters to cut the excess of the zip tie. Remove the two nuts on the passenger side of the passenger bumper bracket, slide pump head facing down as pictured over the two studs.. and install nuts back on. Thats it.
Now its time to drill the nozzle hose I use a unibit, and grdually work up on size until the nozzle feeds through. Once through install the elbow holding the nozzle on the inside with a 7/16 wrench. You can use a 15mm wrench to tighten the elbow until the inside washer curves a little. Then back out the elbow, install outside sealing washer(tip a little wd40 on the rubber) and thread it on. Once threads are exposed, put a little red loctite on the threads and tighten down the elbow until its taught. careful the materials in play are brass and can breat if you get aggressive tightening them down.
Here are some shots.. more details to come.
