alright heres the setup
just wanted to post some pic of the progress

had to get it i think its cool

the setup all wired and waiting on lines

the setup before wiring

the bulk head in the side for going through the floor i just think it looks the cleaner
im going to 3/8 steel braided line so im waiting on them to be made
i got alot of good advice on this site
so let me know what you think


cant forget the switch box it works like a champ

 

nice man, post pics when u get it laid out, i like the switch box.

also, whats a bulkhead? i can't tell where that is in the xB that u took that picture or what it's for ...

 

its a through the metal bolt that allows you to bolt a lineon both sides
these are mounted right under where the rear deck that use to be there locks in
i think it looks cleaner than a hole with line going through the floor

 

can u link me to a picture of what the whole thing looks like, i think i've seen one before and i know what you're talking about. That would look a lot cleaner.

Crayon im digging the beauty ring and whitewalls
nice touch
iv been wanting to see a setup under the car

 

thanks for the link, i think that is a lot better than cutting a hole and running a line thru because it probably seals the outside off from inside the cabin a lot better. I'll have to get some of those

 

more fittings...more potential leaks....

 

true but the bulk heads im using and the lines im making are hydraulic style
so you can wrench down on them bad boys
the ones on suicidedoors is still the press fit style
i dont like too many points in the line either i just felt this would look clean and stay tight

 

that old sony xplod amp takes me back a few years!

 

you like that huh
got free
works like a champ

 

depends, i think it's better than just running the line thru the a cut hole ... it could rub against the metal and over time could rupture you know. For temporary i'm going to just run 1 3/8" line thru the floor for the rear, i think i'm going to use some type of rubber gromet and cut out enough room for the line to squeeze through. The line will be going to a T fitting that should be stationairy so the line shouldn't move. Once i get my front struts and i have to run 2 lines outside i'm going to get the bulkheads.

 

8 valves = 4 lines to run outside the car

bulkhead= $7.00x4=$28.00....or grommets at $0.25 a peice

the bulkheads do look nice though but you could just as easily hide the hole where the airline exits....

 

i like the idea of the bulkhead because of it's permanence - though you're on track w/grommets, but if you keep em long they can wear out (if you keep em long enough)

also agreed on the more leaks w/more fittings - im not much into the many fittings i have, that are probably causing all the small leaks i have too...

 

dunno...as long as it works right?

anyways, sorry about hijackin your thread TRD....when are you looking to have it all plumbed and wired?

 

nah man its cool
i hope to have the lines within the next week or so
got to get all the lengths

 

lol good ole VA goodluck with the cops I know I had the worst time there.

If you want some 20s for the xB hit me up lol they are hot on the xbs bagged.


If you need a local shop to buy all yoru fittings at pm me I know a place in VB I used to get them all for.

 

gotta love it
starting to be alot more places to hang and not get messed with

 

that's true man, so what do you do as far as gromets? Drill like a 1/2" hole, pop in a 1/2" gromet and cut out enough room to fit the 3/8" air line through it? Is this the way to do it? thx, i'm looking for tips man i just need to run 1 line out for now, 3/8" for Scion Exposed 2.0 next weekend
