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

[GSX26]

Yeah, thanks for the input...I was considering just getting all new hoses since it isn't that much. We'll see...

 

[4BangR-x]

so like I said just stick with rubber lubricant.

Does your car have ABS? If so, you can save a bunch of weight there too. That hydralic unit for the ABS weighs a lot. All you'll need is fron't brake lines off a non-abs talon, a non-abs proportioning valve and some patience.

check out v-faq.com if you go that route.

I took out
compleat ac system and the evap from the heater box
compleat power stering system
all emissions
battery to the trunk
alt on the back of the motor
all on my 92 talon that is a every day car

If it wasn't so hot here in Arkansas in summer, I would get rid of my A/C.

 

[Smevans]

Are there write ups to these? With pictures? I'm a visual kind of guy.

 

[Rex2342]

Could somebody post a few pics of there intake pipes using the blow through setup? I just finished up my short route IC pipes with 3"GM MAF and just need to make an intake now. I have an idea on how I want to do it but a visual aid will help me out a lot. Thanks.

 

[1993eclipseGS]

Here is my 1g, And 2g. I made both the intake pipes, It's very easy..

 

[Lordpaxin]

Here is a few.

in the one, its a 2g injen intake with a KN filer with the rim cut off, clamped on

 

[92awddsm]

Here is mine. You cant see the filter but it is the same as the pic above.

 

[Rex2342]

Thats perfect guys! Thanks.

Here is an update on my progress. I removed the cruise control system and put on a non-cruise throttle cable. I also replaced my vacuum lines with blue silicone lines. I know I still have work to do, but I'm getting there. I have run the wires for the battery relocation to the trunk, just waiting to be able to afford the red-top battery.

 

[zachakagoat]

I'm alittle more interested in some better pictures of 1993eclipsGS's intake. did you really just flip it upside down? if so this could probably be done with the stock intake too as long as I made a bracket.

Hey travis, where did you get your vacuum lines? I have found the cheap ones, but they arent for boost nor vacuum? Where can I find the High quality ones for my car, ones that can hold fuel, boost, liquids and vacuum pressures? I heard atpturbo.com has some, but they are only for boost and vacuum, not fuel or other liquids. Any help would be appreciated... thanks...

Thanks, are there any for Fuel and coolant though? I have seen them before... like in our 2g DSM guide, they have fuel lines and coolant hoses that are silicone or something else....

[Dragon TalonTsi]

Where else, those arent colored though, the fuel lines. What about coolant?

 

[brute]

Google is your friend!

 

[Dragon TalonTsi]

Oh, thanks. I never really thought of that, I guess you can google anything then.....

 

[djseclipse]

polish as many parts as possible, silicone hoses with color matched wire loom, and a little simple green works wonders!

 

[djseclipse]

This is the link to where I ordered my hoses. It comes as a kit for $20 for a 2g. Should have all the vacuum line hoses you will need.

^^^ Now these are for boost and vacuum lines right? I still can't find coolant and fuel lines though, I know they make em, but I still can't find em....

Correct, it is only boost and vacuum.
