that's funny, he's copied the wrong link...
that motor looks meaty, though.

You need about 4' of ss line. The pic that I posted is -04AN already and includes the t-fitting. I used a NOS fuel line because it had an extra lining on the inside and I had already gone with a ss line made at a local shop that ended up coming apart. I think I still ahve the stillen one too, the way I installed the fittings didn't allow me use it. To mount it, Stillen used Adel Clamps, but I have been using thick zip ties and those have worked fine for me. You just need to figure out the best route. One of these days, I'll get off my lazy butt and take pictures.
When you get your s/c you have to make sure it has the oil squirter/restrictor in it.
If not, you have to buy one from vortech. My unit has a 90 degree fitting so I can't take mine out. Dammit.
Any other ?'s

So I need 4 feet of -4 SS hose with a -4AN 45 degree fitting on one end and a -4AN T fitting on the other end? All the places I know that carry SS hose only have the individual parts, so you would basically have to build your own. I guess its not really that big of a deal, but I would prefer if I could get the hose already completed like in the picture above. Do you remember where you got it from?
I also have a few (actually a lot) of other general questions that I and other people probably have as well.
First, what needs to be done about the relocation of the radiator overfill tank? I know that the stillen kit came with a bracket.
Second, I looked at the stillen instructions in the stickies and it shows the cam sensor re-adjusting retainer that allows for clearence with the blower bracket. I know that the instructions were for the V2 kit which had a different bracket. So, I guess my question is, does the V1 bracket need the cam retainer or is clearence not an issue here?
Third, in one of Matt's posts on page one he mentions the rubber oil feed back hose but says it is a nissan part. Any extra info on that?
Forth, what is the recommended path for the power steering lines. In the stickies write up, the ptatohed just left them. He said that they were rubbing, but never had any problems. I would prefer not to do this. Any extra info or advice on fixing the power steering lines.
Fifth, do I have to run my BOV back to the air filter to be emissions legal? I know there was some discussion about this on page one, but the responses were conflicting. I would really like to just expel it into the atmosphere. We just have regular old fed emissions here in CO... no gay cali emissions so they are not too strict.
Sixth, what is the proper size K&N filter I need? If I do need to run the BOV to my air filter, I will have to drill a hole in it and insert some sort of nipple right?
I guess that is it for now. Hopefully between you and Matt and anyother SC veterans, we can all come up with the answers.
Thanks,
Devin

The oil drainback hose is the same as the stock nissan crankcase breather hose (goes from crankcase to the stock resonator intake box). Buy a new one because the one you have has probably become too stiff from aging. I actually used a stock nissan upper power steering hose. It's smaller in diameter, but it does the job.
The power steering lines should be rerouted to go behind the fuse box (along next to the passenger-side fender, behind the headlight and down to the hardlines in front of the radiator. You'll be removing the stock hardlines (underneath where the blower is supposed to go).
The EPA doesn't like atmospheric BOV's for some reason. In Cali it's illegal, but I have one anyway. A recirculation valve makes it quieter and will be more "emissions legal" than an atmospheric BOV.
The stock "pancake" air filter is a K&N with part number: RA-0980. I'd recommend a larger 4" long filter. ptatohed used a larger one and got another lb of boost. If you want to recirculate, then yes you'll have to punch a little hole in the filter and add a nipple. There's actually a "pre-drilled" hole when you buy the new filter. It's covered up, but all you need to do is punch it out.

Thanks guys.
So, you guys would recommend NOT using the RA-0980 filter, but a 4'' long filter instead? Maybe I can get a part number from ptatohed for that one.
ewuzh- You say that you have an atmoshperic BOV even though it is illegal in CA? Do you still pass emissions or do you have convert whenever you need to run emissions? What do the emissions techs say when they pop your hood?
Slimer- So I just need to get a good lenght of SOFT ps line in size 5/16 and connect it to the hard line directly in front of the ac condensor, run it behind the fuse box and then up to the ps container eliminating the hard lines that run right where the blower will sit? What does "IIRC" mean?
What about my question on the cam sensor retainer? Do I need to worry about that at all?

Do they do a visual inspection like that? Methinks that they would not know what it was.

THe other thing missing is the relay box relocation bracket, but I have never used mine. Its just wedged between my CAI hard tube and the PS resoviour.
Whats next?

Thanks guys.
Now lets talk about the intake piping and the BOV.
I know need to get a MAF flange from cattman, but I need just one right... not two?
Should I go with 2.75 or 3'' piping?
On the stillen brand pipes, I saw that they have support bars welded on that go down towrds the front valve cover. How am I going to support my custom pipe in that area? Do I need to have supports welded on, or do I need not worry about it?
What about the IACV hoses (both the big one and the small one)? I need to have holes drilled in the pipe directly after the MAF and then have nipples welded on right?
What is up with ''reclocking the SC"? I did a search, but I could only find people talking about it... never saying why they did it. My guess is that it angles the SC up more so you have room to put on larger pipes, but I could be wrong.
What BOV should I get? Matt recommended the Vortech BOV, but said it was pretty pricy. I did a search and got some confliction in the answers. Some were saying that the HKS causes compressor surge, and the Greddy Type S is leaky. Some said to use a Blitz, but others said that it has some compressor surge too. What are you using? I definately do not want some thing that leaks or has compressor surge.
What do I do about getting a flage for my BOV?
