Engine Bay [Merged 7-7] cleanup clean up unclutter tidy neat

[rock1t]

only thing i have bolted to my fire wall is my brake block, clutch master and brake master, and winshield wiper motor. All my wiring is tucked. Car is completely stripped down of everything to. Everything I have are basic necessities.

Well like i said, make a list of stuff that is getting removed..You already have evap can and emmissions removed so theres a start...Find out what electrical stuff you don't need and go from there..Or look in the tech section(idk exactly which one), but i'm sure theres a bunch of stuff you can remove..Or Use the search feature, and you should be able to find what you need..

We are also running the big wiring harness behind the firewall and bring it behind the motor..... hiding all the wires... it is kicking my azzz for the last 2 days

what all are you keeping? what are your plans for the car?

 

[MakeIt2BreakIt]

i just want a super clean engine bay and a light street car...

 

[93ETGOCART]

are you planning on a fusebox relocation? it looks like you welded up the hole for the wiper motor or is that just me? i want to weld up all the extra bolt holes in my bay there are so many of them. what all are you removing? plan on powdercoating or paint or polished engine?

 

[MakeIt2BreakIt]

i removed the power steering, a/c all the lines, the condenser. i also removed all the vac lines and the heater stuff behind the dash. also the front and back bumper supports, wipers front and back and all the sound stuff. and yes i am going to run all the wires on the inside of the firewall and relocate the fuse box out of site totally. today we are going to run the clutch line and brake line out of site and finish all the welding and grinding. i am going to power coat the valve cover and the trans and other misc stuff.

[ILLiCliPSE]

Looks better already! Keep at it...

 

[ratatack]

Looks really good so far keep us posted.

 

[MakeIt2BreakIt]

almost there..i had a small prob that took like 4 hours to fix. When i tried to start the car the mpi would just click and thats it...so after a while i just got pissed off and installed a push button start and she fired right up and runs like a champ. So after all that bs me and my cousin are going to finish it today hopefully...so here is where we are right now....then we are going to the track on friday to see what it runs @ 8psi with all the weight reductions with a hard launch...then i am going to install a mbc at the track and run it with open stock dp and 17psi and see the difference in it...

[218dsm]

Not bad! hopefully this one makes it on the road for a while.. everything looks good!!!

 

[Doubleot]

I'm doing a little cleaning up myself, I need to spray it off still but I'm scared I'll get water somewhere I'm not supposed to.
Looking good keep us updated

 

[MakeIt2BreakIt]

i just used like 3 cans of FOAMING engine degreaser and an scrub brush and sprayed it all over the engine bay and then hosed it all off......then i took a air hose and sprayed all the connectors and clips out... plugged them in and then she fired up and ran like a champ....
