How To: Wire Tuck/Engine Clean Up

[idrivemazda]

In the 3rd picture are those aftermarket battery connector??? Can you tell me where did u get them and how much???

I also removed the water resevrior tank since I don't use my rear windshield wiper or front wipers. I don't have any pictures, sorry.

This is what I removed from the motor.

I'm sure some brackets can be used in other places to move other things.

This is some current shots of the motor right now. I have since got a new intake and put my radiator fluid can back in.

You can see the 3 sensors that were on the intake manifold before have been moved to the firewall. The only things that are on the manifold are groundwires.

For the car show, I removed my AC fan and my mud guards from under the car.

A lot of other things have not been discussed in this thread also. How to clean the motor can be found in the apperance section. I usually just use simple green, hose everything down, and wipe everything clean (be sure to remove the battery and intake and tape of the throttle body!)

I also removed my power steering line that runs in front of the radiator as you can see from the picture above. Here is how I re-routed it (not my car obviously)

The pink is the lines I removed and the blue is how I redid it. I have had no problems with my car since doing this.

Mods: could you move this to the how-to section? If it is worthy enough that is

I got custom aluminum ones made. Well, a vendor sold them on the forum before, but have since been banned I believe.

Some pictures were removed by accident, but here is a current setup:

But stare at Pirana's motor, that would be my ideal motor look.

Is that a wiper arm bolt cap on the head?

 

[L8R]

Besides the HKS oil cap, I have no idea... ARGHHH I've been staring at it for too long. Thanks for the compliment also

 

[Pirana]

Nope, but you found it, you are good!!!! Its a cap to cover the unsightly hole left by the distributionless ignition.

subbin. i HAVE TO DO SOMETHING TO MY CAR!!!!!!!RAHHHH

 

[Boston5761]

where did you relocate the circled item, and how?

 

[L8R]

I just removed that huge bracket and moved the wires somewhere else. Most of the wires connected are just grounding points and I have not had any problems since I moved the wires around. You will need a razor blade to cut the electrical tape off to let the wires be a little more free and retape things after you move them. It is time consuming.

That one plug you see within the red circle was moved somewhere under the intake manifold.

nice thread! lol i love how installing a turbo is just a side job while hiding wires

those are some clean ass engine bays! holy crap

 

[Dpwhitehead1]

ok, blue circle...where does that go to? i can't find minE!!!!!!
