Who has the nicest 420a engine bay?

[SnoopySLR]

I wanna see who has the best/cleanest/nicest 420a out there.

Not saying mine's the best, but I'm proud of it.

Lets see what everyone else has. Turbo, NA don't matter!

Lookin good guys! Keep them commin. Interceptor, what kit is that? Is that a HAHN kit? Looks really nice.

dr1665 your engine bay is nice! off topic but i got a q, does anyone elses radiator say Denso on it? i thought this was a little weird but mine says Denso on it.

Im impressed with some of these engine bays. Some of the local ones are just plain shit, really dirty. Nice to see some people that keep theirs really clean. I just cleaned my eclipse but now I have to do some work and get it dirty again, damn head gaskets.

Actually, that picture was taken last month when I rolled out to SoCal for a cruise. The weekend before, we swapped out my stock head for an ERT-built race head and decided to pull the block so we could paint it and clean the engine bay. You know you're getting good at pulling the 420a when you pull it all the way out just to clean it and paint it.

Here's mine:

DontNeed8, wow thats clean.

DR1665, nice. I can't wait to pull my engine soon. I'm cleaning it like a mad man. Anything that don't need to be there is gettin pulled. I'm tuckin every wire and hose when it goes back in also. I'm going for the cleanest lookin engine bay ever. Ever see when a really good b18 swap is done on a civic? No wires, no hoses, nothing showing. Thats what I'm going for.

 

[dont need 8]

Thanks, most people can't believe it is a 1997 both inside and out.

Very nice inside and out. Where did you get that rear clip:

And is that a stock 97 front clip with some sort of splitter or chin spoiler on it in your sig photo. It looks good.

 

[dont need 8]

Aerogear rear from a person on Ebay. Front is stock with RMDSM chin spoiler to protect my paint from scraping and too keep the front from looking higher than the sides.

I know it's not the nicest, but alot of ricers think it's fast when I pop the hood. :laugh: And Snoopy, love the new turbo.

 

[interceptor]

Lookin good guys! Keep them commin. Interceptor, what kit is that? Is that a HAHN kit? Looks really nice.

Yes its a Hahn Stage 1 with custom piping str8 thru the battery and ecu locations.Keeps the piping cooler that way.Snoopy got the fuel system put in yet .

 

[SnoopySLR]

Thanks DSMMyth!

Interceptor, yeah fuel system is good. But the piston rings on the other hand...... I'm pushing 25psi on each cylinder, so they're gone. I'm rebuilding with forged internals this winter, so I was prepared for the motor blowing. I just want to drive it though. I only drove it about 400 miles tops this year.

Just wait guys! I'm doing my best to drop serios coin into my engine this winter. Its going to be Nucking Futs next year.
