Pics needed for 2.2 zex wet kit

OK. Im realy trying to finish my install here but can't figure out a decent way to tap in on the fuel line (which part to use aswell). Now if anyone can help me out please let me know or show me a pic, thats all i need. Also how did you run the cable through the firewall and what line did you tap into for that? thanks for any help.

on the fuel rail there is a test port with a shradar vavlve your line will hook right into it but first you have to take the valve out by using a shradar valve remover i got mine for $1 on ebay

yea it is the thing with the black cap and yea i ran wirea through my firewall.. what you wanna do before you remover the valve is pull the fuel pump fuse and start the car to empty the line first

under your dash by the drivers side your see a rubber grommett that has wires passing through that is where your put it through what i did was i took some fishing line and a small weight and pushed it through and saw where the wires come out of.. it's not hard at all you just need to make sure you plug the hole back up with tape or something so no water gets inside.. if you search through the forum for the how to on a/f gauges there is a good write up with pictures on how to get through the firewall

well i used a relay.. i taped into the (+) terminal next to the fuse box under the hood and then for a ignition wire i taped into a fuse from inside the car... i did custom set up and wired it all my self i didnt use a brain or anything from zex.. but make sure you use a fuse on all the lines.. those solidoids tend to draw some amps..

Well the zex kit comes with an assembly wired with a fuse on the line already. its basically hooking the arming switch to the feed line with the fuse and then the feed line connects to the power source, but the thing is it needs a 12volt source that can handle an additional 10amps. I thought you had the same setup thats why i asked. But never the less i realy appreciated your help. I literally went out into the rain (not heavy though) to hook up the fuel supply...lol. You know of any line that can handle that?

the only places that I have power running with the zex kit is at the positive terminal under the hood right next to the fuse box.

if you need a switched 12 volt source use a switch that has an acc post or connect it to the sunroof or radio acc. fuse.
