Default EG / GSR Hybrids! Post pics of your engine bays HERE! **Won't be 56k friendly for long**

Just like the title says.
Here are some pics of mine. I'm still working on the swap so that explains why things are missing.









Close-ups of how you ran the vtec wires will be
I'm interested in seeing how neat I can make the bay

I also would like to see how you guys ran the throttle cable into the firewall. I installed the GSR cable just a few minutes ago and it's sticking up touching the hood.

i want to cut the cam cover like you've done there, but i'm afraid that exposing the cams will harm the engine with crap getting in there. do you have any problems? i live in a city with lots of dust, would that cause problems?

just use a radial saw and a metal cutting blades it literally takes about 4 seconds, and it has a nice cut. no die grinders

i wanna cut the valve cover too, but im afraid rocks might get in and mess up my timing belt and you know that can cause one thing to lead to another.

what are the chances of that happening?

mine has been cut for a while and i havent experienced any problems. although ive heard of people who have. anytime i raise the hood, i always cover up where the cam gears are exposed. alot of people do it for tuning purposes... *raises hand* but when i get some spare cash ill prob just throw on a new one and use the cut one for tuning. but that wont be for a while.

My friend did that and a piece of road debris flew into the gears and made his timing belt jump a few teeth. Hes lucky the motor didnt go bye bye.
