That sounds like a good idea, i didn't know whether to do a swirl pot or just have a bosch mounted in tank.

Ive deleted the washer bottle Si so the swirlpot will be mounted in its place.
I know ist a fit and forget solution that way and i dont have to mess around with the stock lines at all. The Walboro will lift to the pot via the stock lines. The motor will then be fed by a Bosch 413 via twin rails to 1000cc injectors. This will return to the pot via a fuelab regualtor and then finally back down the OEM return line to the tank.

Are you not having a washer bottle at all then? I basicaly have a similar setup at the min apart from the swirl pot of course, and my injectors are modified lateral ones (900cc) i want to keep my washer bottle realy so i dont know where else i could mount the swirl pot.

I presume you have the bosch mounted on the chassis leg next to the swirl pot? Or is it on the bulkhead?

No mate, I'll still have a washer bottle but no longer under the bonnet. The newage stis have a water spray tank mounted in the boot as standard. This will become my washer bottle.

I thought it was only some newages that had that, like the spec c etc.

Well i think a shall go with the bosch mounted in tank option, its not going to do any track work and only occasional 1/4 mile so should be sufficient.

I've been runnng this set up for some time, just plumbed the intercooler water spray feed hose directly into the washer jets. Have noticed that on the track when braking hard into corners screen wash dribbles out of the washers , not a problem though.

I was referring to the fact of it being in the boot behind the rear seat

Cheers guys,

Yeah Si, all newage stis have the water spray tank in the rear RHS of the boot. The Spec C has a 12ltr tank mounted behind the rear seat but this isnt needed.

They look nice and are comfortable, so far so good. Pics to follow once i have some daylight

Pics as promised.

Sorry for the photos, flash plays havoc with low light and dark objects. They look nice in the flesh and feel quite comfy. Only a journey will tell lol.

New steering wheel setup should be here in the coming weeks. These jobs are just tiding me over at the mo till i can get the final bits to drop the motor back in. ("tick tock" "tick tock" lol)
