I think John plugged it: I would take a piece of steel plate and make a cover. Make sure you put the gasket #20 between that and the headers. An alternative could be to use the headers from an earlier car with no SAP...

yep.. I'll try plugging it too.

thx..

I need to do this, because I am using BMP shorty headers, and the m52 didn't come with the pump at all

Here are the prices:
270-1802 project box: 2.99

271-0284 100k Micropot: 1.49ea X 2

276-1770 5V Regulator: 1.59

275-0248 SPDT 10A 12V miniature relay: 4.99ea X 2

That is because you bought 2 pots and 2 relays for the dual bank version. BTW super nice soldering job on your board. You should start making these for people. You doing quality work...

I went to my local Radio Shack today to buy the parts to put one of these together and they only had the enclosure and pot's in stock!

If 5liter's are as good as JohnBoy says, I would be very interested in purchasing one from you! Do you think you might be making some to sell? I'd gladly pay a fair price plus shipping

Where can I find pictures of this SAP?

[5liter]

Here is a picture of my attemp at the Dual Bank APS. I have not attached the power or ground wire yet or the other four wires because I'm lookling for the exact color wires.

I know any wire color can be used but I want it to be like a factory job. Note, when making one of these you have to have the right type of solder or else it will not melt right and it will be a mess. I had the wrong type of solder when I did the first one and I ended up redoing it once I got the right solder. The third picture is of the wrong solder being used.

To make the board fit in the box I had to sand the side down a little. It was easy and all you have to do is take a piece of sand paper and run the board back and forth on one edge until it fit in the box snuggly. I also had to notch the cover so it would sit flush.

I had not given any thought of making these to sell. Like everyone else I just wanted to learn how to do it for myself. Once I hook it up and feel confident that it works then I might make some to help guys out in the same manner I was helped. Thanks again John. Oh yeah, I did not realize that the price on the parts listed to make these was for the single bank unit, I thought it was for the Dual Bank, my bad.
