I am not sure but he probably cut it with small tube cutter. Then flared it the same way you would a hard line for the fuel.

Part # SUM-900311 37 degree flare tool kit - $31.95

Pull the stock fitting on the line back, as close as the stock flare as u can do it cut the line with the tubing cutter. Pull the stock fitting off and Slide the following on:
Part # - 581805 -5an Tube nut
TO
Part # - 581905 -5an Tube sleeve
Now flare the line on the 5/16ths setting and then pull the tube nut and sleeve up against the flare. Then thread in the:

Hey man, your taking that "Fancy Wrapper" comment really far.. Some find it necessary, some dont. I wouldnt go bashing what people can afford. This is a hobby not a competition. sorry if I offended you and the millions others with FANCY "mil-spec" harnesses. Some just choose to put the money into other things.
I have to ask.. "Ive been working with mil spec wiring, connectors etc. everyday for over and decade" ... but "I got my rywire harness" ..... Why didnt you make your own?

Also i never bashed what people could afford. I only stated that calling it a fancy wrapper was a dumb statement and if you cant afford it then fine but dont go saying dumb things. Its kind of like saying i got this ebay cast turbo manifold cause the full race equal length manifold is just fancy welded tubing. No its not and if you cant afford the nice full race manifold thats fine not everyone can but saying its dumb or a waste of money really to me just comes down to hating on the fact that you cant afford it or on the people that choose to.
My apologies if i came off the wrong way in the 1st place it wasnt my intent. Just with every new thing people start calling it this but its not for instance when the big hype over twin scroll turbo started a while back everyone would say twin scroll but it wasnt. I never meant Silky hasnt made a "mil spec" harness i was more just posting to educate anyone who might not actually know what makes a harness "mil spec" and as to why you would use mil spec wiring, pins, DR-25, etc.... And i tried to be very careful not to offend anyone but apparently that didnt exactly go as planned so officially i apologize.

Nice Job! Im sure others will say it too.. flip the booster and hide that check valve! A tucked radiator set-up on this would really set it apart too. Im sure like all project though, never finished.. Hope you dont mind my constructive criticism!

^^ del sol with H22 and turbo'd very nice!! Ill have to agree a tucked radiator would really set this off nicely.. Either way looks really nice and you really dont see alot of del sol's done up very often.. Would like to see more full pics of this.....
Re: ♠ Shaved, Tucked, Customized Engine Bays - Pics, Theory, Discussion ♠
Also are you still using the H22 bottom end or has it been frankenstein'd, would be curious to hear what kind of numbers its putting down.... I bet that thing is a blast to drive!!!

man too bad your not out here id paint the bumper for you just to help out.... Looks great man and im sure you will be able to put down some more power.... You ever considered putting a F22 bottom end on?? My buddy did it to his turbo prelude and it handled the boost alot better and cut him the savings of sleeving since he was only wanting to jump up to a reliable 350-400.... Anyway looks nice good work.

I just spent some time in the bay and I think he cut the nipple and tapped the inside of the nipple using a 1/8" NPT tap and then put on a 1/8"NPT to 6AN straight adapter. The nipple itself has a bit of meat to it .. this is the only way I can see you converting the brake booster to AN without welding it on.
Re: ♠ Shaved, Tucked, Customized Engine Bays - Pics, Theory, Discussion ♠
Well not a awesome pic but cars almost completely back together... Going to try to take better pics later today to post but got alot done yesterday and should be ready to fire it up later this week.
Re: ♠ Shaved, Tucked, Customized Engine Bays - Pics, Theory, Discussion ♠
