Long time lurker, finally coming out of the dark to ask a few questions related to the powerworks install since I will be starting it next Sunday (specifically on the ZX3, but my first question would be the same for either application).
I have read through the installation pdf countless times to make sure I understand the procedure (I have transmission swapped/brake swapped/suspension install/timing belt/water pump job my car, so I am fairly confident in my mechanical abilities), but I am looking for clarification on a few parts of the install (and if someone would clarify with some amazing pictures since I am much more a visual learner, I would greatly appreciate it ):
1) Routing of the coolant line from the reservoir to the low temp radiator.
Last night I put the coolant tank in and tried routing the hose down towards where the radiator would be getting mounted, but I always ended up with the hose getting some sort of kink in it. I'm sure for some reason I had a mental block and the solution was right in front of me, but for the life of me I couldn't figure it out lol (if someone takes pictures of this, maybe they can snap pictures of how the line from the radiator to the pump is routed also even though I had the line in place.. just seeing if my idea was right)
2) Exactly where does the remote filter mount get mounted.
I read the directions and saw the small pictures they include, but I guess it just wan't as clear as I was hoping for. In my mind the oil filter pointing outwards just doesn't seem right (perspective from their pictures makes it seem like it is really close to the wheel well.
3) Vacuum line routing, specifically the electronic vacuum regulator.
As stated, I have a ZX3, and I am running the SVT header and EGR delete. I left the DPFE and electronic vacuum regulator mounted with electrical harnesses plugged in (EGR is disabled in tune), with the vacuum line running from the intake manifold to vacuum regulator attached, and the small tube from the vacuum regulator to the DPFE sensor still attached since I had nothing at the time to plug the nipple on the intake manifold. I would assume that since EGR is disabled in my tune, I can just keep those things out of the car once I install the powerworks. Am I correct?
I think that is all the questions/clarifications that I can think of at this moment. Thanks!
