You're gonna need some L Brackets from Home Depot that you'll be bending to fit or you can buy the Bwoody Brackets.. Some Rubber Hose and T fittings.. There Should be a how to on this somewhere..

I had a super hard time getting all of the air out of the system !! I have never seen anything so hard to bleed the air out of before. It took , well , like forever ! Install of my extra h/e took like 45 min. But bleeding ALL the air out took 3 days !!
I just the last little bit out today ! Finally !

haha nice i think im gonna take it to a shop to get done i cant have my car out of commission for 3 days my high school is 15 mins away drive so i dont really wanna take the bus and i just switch school so none of my friends go there but hope it wont cost 2 much to install
my high school is 15 mins away drive so i dont really wanna take the bus and i just switch school so none of my friends go there but hope it wont cost 2 much to installI still drove my car to and from work ! It was just the fact that everytime the car was turned off and back on the level would drop out of sight of the stock filler neck. So i just kept it topped up !! It just finally setteled today and it was the first day it didn't need any extra top up ! It is a simple install. Just hard to get all the air to bleed out. You could always jump your h/e pump in the fuse panel to let it run for a longer period of time to let the air out also.

shouldnt have to take it to the shop, i did my h/e install by myself and i have little mechanic skills. It only took me 2 hours or so, hardest part was trying to unclamp the clamps that hold the hose on the stock h/e and ic pump. Bleeding you can do and still drive the car. Just keep an eye on your resivors and have a jug of coolant in the trunk with you. I just got the car back from the dealership cuz i was in a accident and it cracked the stock h/e....dealership put coolant but didnt bleed it...i had to add 4L of coolant in 1 day. Still bleeding abit now

Yeah, same here . Mine deffenitly didn't loose that much either. Nor did i put 9L in. But, i imagine there was stil SOME in the intake manifold that didn't tottally drain out and i think there would be some still in the stock h/e. Its hard to say though. I only added like 3L .. And its done bleeding air now. I wonder how much fluid i hold if i tottally drained it ?? I'm kinda curious now !!
