I will keep the focus on the car prep. I have assembled the radium hanger on a table with a walbro 255. I had to acquire the inlet and outlet fittings so that I can attach to the stock lines.

For the return you will need: -6 O Ring Boss 1/4" Hose Barb Adapter AN Fitting



For the feed I used: BOOSTEC 3/8" Male to AN8 8AN Male Push On/Quick Connect EFI Fuel Adapter Fitting



Now technically it should be an ORB fitting. However, I just moved the o-ring from the 8an male fitting supplied by radium over to this fitting, and moved the fuel pump to the 2nd station on the radium hanger top. This is because it was hanging a little bit too much over the hole for the feed inlet.

killerpenguin21 - that is exactly what they thought. Almost sliced my leg from knee to ankle to "save me". Luckily the CT scan machine opened up and I had a ruptured baker's cyst which leaked into my calf blowing IT UP!

Fuel filter and quad walbro pickups with OEM fuel pump with radium attachment:



Trying to find a fuel pickup that works well with this setup!




Assembled with walbro (must be taken apart to put in tank!)

Fuel filter and bracket





Ready to bolt to firewall




Mounted to firewall


So obviously the fuel filter is now working and mounted in the engine bay. I wanted to post that update.

I am going to track and post my Evo X work on my build thread linked in my signature. It is just easier for me to consolidate to a single thread for the constant work on my car.

If you were following or liked this thread, then you will need to subscribe to my build thread to continue this part of the ongoing Evo X project !

As mentioned above, this project is now covered in my build thread. I DID end up moving to a surge tank, and the walbro auto closing fuel pickups were NOT used in the long run.
