How are most mounting remote reservoirs in their engine bay (with oem intake intact)? So far I have the passenger side zip tied in front of where the horn used to be. Driver side is temporarily zip tied to the upper radiator pipe. Another area I considered is over the cooling plate, but this would risk damage in the case of a front end collision. I've also seen people mount on the firewall, but I would think you want to get as far away from the engine as possible in order to maintain a constant pressure.

For the rear I finally bit the bullet and cut 3" holes to route the reservoirs into the trunk area, and zip tied them to the OEM brace. Does anyone know where I can buy rubber plugs, like those used on the firewall? I've also been told that plastic plugs for running wires through desks is a good alternative.

Eventually I'd like my fabricator to make proper mounts once a location has been decided.

Via search, I found this discussion:

I like Pacman's idea for the front, but it makes adjustments difficult and pressure readings impossible.

 

ask jei where his are put in the front. i liked his setup but mounting locations may be different because of the kraftwerks kit. theres an event on may 28th at thill bypass if you were interested by ncrc.

 

Here's what I did. It's awesome, but boy was it a pain in the ass to do. My hoses on the passenger side just barely reached too, so your mileage may vary. I bolted together an angle bracket and a piece of flat steel with the holes and slots in it to make an angle bracket with one side significantly longer than the other. Then I used the bracket that holds the coolant overflow tank - I took it off, and bolted the short end of the angle under it using the original m6 bolts. Then I widened some of the slots near the edges and fed a hose clamp through at the top, and a zip tie at the bottom. To take them out to check shock pressure I just loosen the hose clamps a little and slide out the canister.

I also insulated some coolant and A/C hoses that the shock lines ran past.

Here's a pic:

 

Oh and for the grommets for your trunk holes, Mcmaster-carr is my favorite source for everything - see here http://www.mcmaster.com/#grommets/=buh1gi

 

Sweet, just what I was looking for.

 

I'll check it out. I imagine he'd have more space since he's not running the oem box.

Yeah, I'm down for thill.

Unfortunately, my catch can lives there and I can't do without it. I'll see if there is any where where I can relocate the can.

Man.. AP2s have a nice layout.. so much more room.

 

Glad to help. Not sure if you'll be able to find the right ID grommet, but if not you can use pipe insulation around the shock line to expand it out to fill the hole space

We installed one or 2 of Science of speeds Moton kit. they had you cut the hole in the rear pan as well. they included 2 small 4in aluminum circles. They had a hole in the center, then it was cut half way through so you could slide the hose in the middle along with a grommet that has one end sliced. You then used some silicone epoxy/sealant to stick that to the floor. It was a pretty simple solution that worked well. Maybe hit them up for it if you dont feel like DIY

The min hole I had to cut was a 3" - that size fits perfect. I also ended up buying a set of computer wire plugs for desks because I could not find the grommet in stores. Split a aquarium airline in half and lined the hole to give it a better fit. Works pretty well, but I imagine the cap will pop off as soon as the line moves.





Going to try a 3" grommet and a 2" plug next

Will consider that if the grommet doesn't work out. Thanks Greg!
