The first clean bay I saw was in the first transformers movie was 16 at the time when the camaro (bumblebee) was not the best externally
but when the hood opened up, it made my face light up so I decided to research some more about it and I found this forum, invaluable information
around here to say the least and most bays here really set the bar high so i decided to give it a go on this sol hope you like.

How my bay has progressed over time
1st image 24th March 2013 Fully Stock haha

2nd image 8th September 2013 Some VERY minor wire tucking (Fuse Box in passenger footwell dodgy haha) battery in boot with 150A
inline fuse and cleaning of engine bay and components

3rd image 4th December 2014 How she looks now. Removed AC and PS Complete wire tuck Engine, ABS, Headlight, and even Cabin harness
(Fuse boxes in boot) battery with 150A breaker, radiator overflow and washer bottle is also in the boot

Unfortunately down in Australia specially Victoria we cannot muck around with safety features eg Deleting ABS or SRS and wipers as it will
automatically render our car unroadworthy so hence why i still have ABS, and wipers ahh well ABS sits near the firewall so its not that bad.

Still not finished would like a SS clutch line and a tucked radiator but it will do for now :D

Not really a kit kind of thing, this is one of those opportunities to get creative and make something custom. Most of the time people pull out all of the emissions equipment in the process.

I didn't have much choice on mine, those Keihin feedback carbs are now 26 years old, and most of the emission and carb control parts are long discontinued, the usually approach is to go to a webber conversion kit, in my case working on this dual SU setup. You could barely fix the factory carbs and systems when they were new, I know how they work backwards and forwards, and I finally gave up fing with the dam thing. I think a lot of the older Honda stuff with those feedback carbs, has gone the same route, might as well go unique in the process

i wanted to know if anybody notices their temp reading a bit higher than normal after bypassing their heater core with the rocker arm plug on the head and welded shut on the water pipe.

i've completely bled the system using this funnel kit
Bottom-line pricing on Lisle - 24680 at ToolTopia.com
and the temp needle fully warmed up is staying one line under the middle mark.

i have all new hoses, no leaks, all new hose clamps, new water pump, new tstat, new radiator.

car doesn't over heat after driving it really hard for 30mins straight, even during a longer drive it doesn't over heat.

upper rad hose gets hot, and lower stays warm.

just wanted to know if this was normal. or should my temp gauge be around the quarter mark?

My EG w/B20V runs perfectly fine and Im setup the same way you are. Maybe your new thermostat is bad?!

Do you have way of monitoring your temps? S300 or aftermarket gauge?

so you deleted the heater core and plug the head and the water pipe like me? and your gauge reads at a quarter or middle?

im pretty sure my thermostat opens up the fans come on.

i dont have any other way of monitoring the temps.

stock civic si cluster from an em1, gsr swapped ek.

My OE temp gauge reads normal, S300 shows normal OP temp, and my Stack temp gauge reads about 180. I only drive the car in spring/summer so usually during the hottest parts of the year in the midwest.

I don't have to worry about emissions where I live so no it won't pass. There's a lot of info on here and k20.org to help you out

I think it is a mustang bumper plug. Someone on a k series forum was selling them a few years ago keeping it a secret. AFH parts is affiliated with a Ford dealer and may be able to help.

I have tried to order it through AFH several times but can't get anyone to assist with finding that part, also got shorted a part on my last order from them. I think I will stick with majestic.
