Here is a pic of my Mitusa install with Opies mount for a fluid dampner and dual CP3's.



Sorry about the highjack...

no hijack Paul,, thanks for the clarification

 

well there you go kevin! problem solved - that was easy.

 

well i went out and picked up the extra hose, got back home and it was smooth sailing today.

got it all plumbed up.
un-did the fitting on the back of the filter canister,
ran the punp with the plastic pulley in a drill until it ran steadily for a few seconds,
tightened the fitting back up, ran it with a drill for another 20 seconds,
put the belt back on the balancer pulley and she fired right up,
sounded like it was going to die so i shut it off,
turned it over again and have had no issues since then with multiple starts/shut-offs.

seems to run like a champ so far. i'll have to take it for a test drive later tonite so i can see some real world/driving pressures.

i'll snap a couple pics later of the final install and post them up on photobucket . . .

There are descriptions on some of the photos to describe/explain what you are looking at.

 

Are any special tools required to install this kit?

 

Nice work Jason...

 

metal -
no special tools required, just a basic set of tools & wrenches will get you by just fine. the install was very straight forward and easy. it was time consuming for me, i have never altered the fuel system until now. if i were to do it again, which would be the 2nd time around, i would say it'd take me 3 hrs if i could work at it from start to finish. this time i had to do it over a period of a 3-4 days because i couldn't find one solid block of time to just work on it and be done. i had to work little by little (take out the tools, get working, stop working, clean up - over and over . . .)

dr -
thanx, i think it is really hard to mess up the install.

the only cons of the kit:
- no filter & head included (although he will send the kit with the provisions/fittings for one)
- no fittings included to run bigger hose from the canister to the injection pump. all the other lines are taken car of though . . . again, this is an easy fix with a few dollars worth of fittings . . .

 

Thanks! It looks like I don't have to worry about installing it. I asked Opie for some details on the kit and he said there won't be any going out for a couple months. What to do now...

 

a couple months hey? that really sucks - looks like i got mine in the nick of time then!

i guess you could go with airdog, or fass
you go with the MITUSA knock-off from GDP - i think it's called the fuel boss. it is also a belt driven pump - but the plumbing looks WAY more complicated on that kit. if i had to buy the fuel boss - i would not plumb it as per the instructions - i would plumb it the way Opie does - he keeps it very simple with his kit.

 

Yea I'd definitely like to get the mitusa kit. sucks

 

maybe ricjard from gdp would sell you his pump only and you take care of the plumbing.

have you seen how opies kit is plumbed?

 

check out this thread. a pic of the plumbing is on pg 2 post #21

Bswope showed me some installation pictures. When it comes to the plumbing I can see myself buying the wrong fittings or missing a part and my truck being down for a week lol I'll have to do some research on what fittings and how much fuel line I would need. Plus what size to go with.

 

i can tell you what fittings are needed . . .
