Making engine bay cleaner
 
I am putting a b18b1 in my engine. So at the moment my car doesnt have a engine in it.

What can I remove from my engine bay that I do not need.

I want to shoot for this.

lots of wire tucking... but that will require the motor in it tho.... but what are you looking to use the car for? you could always take off the washer fluid resovior, relocate the battery, relocate the fuse box, tuck the coolant resovior, etc... if its daily driver, its kinda hard to remove too many things, cus most your gonna want.

JDM_overdose 01-07-2010 07:55 PM

Yea its daily driver. I guess the only thing I can do is wire tuck.

Take out all the A/C system, remove power steering. A wire tuck takes lots of time.

JDM_overdose 01-07-2010 09:01 PM

I need my power steering though lol. I dont want to use all my muscles to turn the wheel lmao.

Spike 01-07-2010 09:30 PM

It's not that bad.

JDM_overdose 01-07-2010 09:32 PM

Ive had no power steering before, sucks ass. Ill try and remove the A.C stuff tomorrow.

Spike 01-07-2010 10:24 PM

Make sure there is no freeon in the system, because if there is, your not going to like the smell of it, as it's not good to breath in or for the earth. Plus it's under high pressure.

JDM_overdose 01-07-2010 10:41 PM

How long would it take to take out.

And does a 1990 RS even have ac.

XNXIXTXRXOX 01-07-2010 11:20 PM

just check your engine bay for a compressor, its easy to find. my 93 rs does. honestly tho, even with ac gone, the engine bay would really lock all that diff. if you want something like in the pic, it takes time. if good things were easy to do, everyone would do them and that wouldnt make then all that special anymore. this is something that if your gonna do it, spend some good time on it, it will be well worth it. wire tucking isnt too crazy. i did it on my b16 swapped ef. i tucked a bit of the electrical. no ac or ps but thats cus of the swap, relocated my battery to under passenger dash lol, and sort of tucked my clutch cable too. it took time but looked nice :).

D.T.P 01-07-2010 11:23 PM

no RS does not have A/C.

you cant really remove that much...as stated above.

JDM_overdose 01-07-2010 11:24 PM

If you have time, email me with a diy to relocate the battery.

Thanks bro

XNXIXTXRXOX 01-07-2010 11:28 PM

i will tomorrow lol. im just bout to sleep now. and my 93 rs does have ac lol. hmmm wonder if it was an extra or something.

JDM_overdose 01-07-2010 11:30 PM

It sucks. before the winter, when my engine was out. I sprayed it with gunk cleaner. But i used a regular hose so wash it out. my power washer doesnt work. and now it works, but the water line is closed and i dont wanna open it because ill crack a pipe in the house.

XNXIXTXRXOX 01-07-2010 11:34 PM

run a hose from your bathrrom sink or something and even use hot water, but watch you dont over heat the pressure washer if its not one thats made for hot water lol. i have a magazine on doing a crazy wire tuck. they even tuck the brake booster and master cylinder lol. i could give it too you at court on the 22nd lmao, or see if i can find the web version of it. its a "project car" magazine.

cant find it online, ill just give you the mag at some point, court probabvly lol

D.T.P 01-07-2010 11:37 PM

my 93rs doesnt have AC lol. XNXIXTXRXOX are you sure its not a GS?
i know all GS's had a/c and sunroofs with power windows etc

JDM_overdose 01-07-2010 11:39 PM

My car does have a knob for hot and cold. I donno lol. I just want my engine bay clean.

XNXIXTXRXOX 01-07-2010 11:41 PM

yep its an rs lol. and it has no power options lol. i just last week took the rs badge off :)

D.T.P 01-07-2010 11:43 PM

^^thats weird, then you must have the buttons on the climate control vs the slider for vent possition and heat/cold.
ah i want that climate control! lol

JDM_overdose 01-07-2010 11:46 PM

I like the slider. it makes a huge annoying noise lmao. But less electrical problems:)
