if you want to lay in the front anything bigger then a 18 you have to tub the firewall

i also wated to refrase my question... my truck is fuel injected and has alot of components and some not for fuel injection, and i have a heater core and fan cover and all of the components and crap on the passenger side and a bunch of components on the driver side like washer fluid containers and the brake booster unit on the driver side, but i dont know where i could rearrange these things to tub my firewalls. if anyone has done it or had pics it would be awsome!

well since its a 93 you can ditch the washerfluid and the reso for the radiator fluid ans for the heater stuff you can either rework it to work with a tub or get ride of it totally the brake booster shouldnt be in the way for a 20 even if it is you can get a smaller booster of a geo metro not to sure what year tho

i dont want to start a new topic in the base forum so ill ask it here....i want to run a two compressor setup, but i dont understand what a relay does. and i would imagine that i would only need one but how many pressure switches would i need. And also how many check valves would i need.?

I'll try and kill your 2 birds here. To lay your dime out on a 20 you will have to relocate the blower motor if you want to keep the heater. I've seen guys make a fiberglass new housing for the blower motor but the easiest thing to do would be to remove it. You will have to tub the firewall. You will have to relocate the clutch master if it has one. If you are running 2 compressors, I would use a continous duty solenoid instead of relays. Just like electrical parts on your truck, you need to regulate the power going to all electrical components. Here's a link to help you with the install on the compressors. http://www.fbirides.com/assets/files/install_files/3495.pdf
Hope that helps.
