Heres what I started out as.


Heres what I have right now.


All I really did was shorten some vacuum lines, wipe most of it down with some simple green, and routed the clutch cable under the intake manifold.

What else can I do? I want a really clean looking engine bay.

Thanks, thats pretty helpful. Now if I could only pull my motor lol.. Ill work around that though. Thanks again.

 

I think it's possible to do with the motor in place if you remove a few of the accessories. Maybe not to the same extent, but most of it.

I'm going to see if I can do it to my DX, which is my daily driver...so I won't be able to pull it.

Im not real **** I just want it a little more clean looking then it is. I figure hiding the wires will help with that alot.

 

Well first of all I'd lose the yellow tube and intake fitting.

You can also hide your fuse box pretty easy without having to mess with a lot of the other wiring.

Maybe paint your valve cover black (or red) and paint your header, or get it ceramic coated.

You can also hide a lot of the relays pretty easy if you just tuck them down and under instead of on the brackets.

 

you might wanna get a timing belt cover too.

I just bought the car, the guy that had it before me had that gawdy weapon r intake on it. Hence no filter in the pic. I will be ditching the yellow stuff later on. This car has bigger problems then some badly colored hoses. I need to replace the fenders, front bumper, etc... Im just trying to do some things that dont cost me anything to pass the time.

Thanks for the tips. Ill work on the fuse box and relays once the weather clears up. I dont have a garage so Im at the mercy of the weather.

 

Looks nice and clean good work

 

Use some WD40 to clean some of the hard to clean greasy places.

Take a can of gun metal spray paint to the relay bracket above the passenger side headlight.

Get some super hightemp spray paint, and do a couple of light coats over that header until it looks good. Make sure each coat cures really well on there so it doesn't burn off right away. If you get the really high temp flat black, it almost like a coating instead of paint. It looks like black powder. Its the 1500 degree stuff in the redish orange can at most parts stores around here.

Polish or paint the valve cover.

Take out the rusty bolts and either replace them with non-rusty ones, or paint the heads with that same flat black, let them dry completely, then carefully put them back in. Even if it scratches a little, they'll look much better.

 

I only have one vacume line and thats for the FPR.

 

yea, your engine bay owns me ^^^^^^

 

wow. where the hell is everything? As much as I'm not usually a fan of appearance stuff, that looks really clean.

Hidden

 

kid-honda, that is one clean as engine bay man.

Makes me wanna clean my **** up, damn it....more work.

Where you route the clutch cable to? where is the fuse box? That is some quality work man. more pics please of where you put the accessories.

Oh yeah back to mykal, I hope your not running your motor without an air filter man.
Get rid of that bracket by the exhaust cam gear, funny that bracket only comes in the 86-89 tegs. My old ZC did not those but maybe I'm wrong.
Paint the headers or ceramic coat them black or sterling silver which ever u prefer.

That's so clean it looks photoshopped!
Where are your injector wires? I don't see any sign of them!

Correct yourself... you have 2 vacuum lines - FPR and brake booster.

 

Where did you relocate your overflow tank, kid-honda?

It looks like it's down in front of the radiator or something.

 

kid-honda ownz me

 

Some suggestions, try Castrol super clean, make sure you wash it off though, very strong stuff. Also I wax the inside of the engine bay. For the valve cover try some wrinkle paint. May want to try to use some mothers alumiunum polish on the intake tube. Use armorall on all the plastics/rubber. and your ZC can look like this


YAY!

 

WOW! Those are some clean bays Wanna do mine next?

 

Kid-Honda love your engine bay

 

Damn nice engine bay kidhonda and cwbetb

I find that hard to believe. Unless, of course, your car has 0 miles!

Also, I see what looks to be Amorall on the airbox tube!
