Firewall Forward Kit


Quick update because I haven't seen a lot of information out there on it.  The Firewall Forward Kit is what you order after your Finishing kit and consists of all the little odds and ins you'll need while installing the Engine.  But like everything else with this build you can go completely per plans or decide to remove or add a few things.  Since I'm going with the Ram air system, braided lines and different alternators I had to remove some things.  Here's essentially what I removed from the kit.

Removed-

  • 1.000 VA-186 (Already had)
  • ES Alternator Deluxe
  • FAB-360/540 (And all associated pieces)
  • EA OIL COOLER 20006A
  • 1.000 CT BLK THROTTLE 47.5 S9C 10 (I(O)-540)
  • 1.000 CT BLUE VPROP 72.5 S9C 10 (I(O)-540)FWD GOV
  • 1.000 CT RED VMIXTURE 51.5 S9C 10 (I(O)-540)
  • VA102
  • VA119
  • VA133
  • VA135
  • VA138
  • VA189
  • VA190


This obviously dropped the price down a bit but the big money items are things like the exhaust and prop governor so you're not going to get the price down all that much.  On that subject make sure you get the correct governor for the prop/engine combo.  I'm going with a Wide deck with a Hartzell so will post about that later, I've did read some things about mismatched combos that can really ruin your day, so make sure you're getting all the right parts.  Anyhow I ordered the FWF kit a few weeks ago, got it inventoried and organized in a few hours and now it's awaiting the engine install.
