Default FINALLY cleaned my BAY and I'm tuned

Well after 4 months of procastinating... I did it. O yeah I am also tuned and guess what lol I was never running 10psi. I was at 8psi. It hauls now at 10. I love it. Also some new exterior changes are coming up... new wheels and jdm fenders. Honda-Tech helped alot for this and SIMPLE GREEN is the ****. Here are the pics...

looks good man, glad you ended up finishing the project. mines been done for a few weeks now but i havent got around to getting any updated pics. i have mine running on hondata which worked out pretty well, also has eagle h22 rods and custom cp pistons among other things. on 6 lbs i made 210wtq and 198whp (t3/t4 50 trim) and i will be going for a retune within the next few weeks for more boost.
looks good bro.....

ill try and update some pics this weekend....

It's not dynoed yet. The tuner said 230HP at 8psi so should be around 250-255 around 10psi...

Simple green was sprayed everywhere and just let is soak for like 2 mins then wash it off.

The manifold was mocked up by me and welded by a shop.... fknslmd for the inspiration.

Hey rhdune16, it looks sweet man. I have been wanting to clean mine out sometime, but i always read you have to cover every wire and every plug, and that just sucks. I was wondering if thast waht you did? or did u just did what u said and just sprayed wait two mins.. If you did that, did u acually get water and spray it down afterwards or did u just get a towl of some sort and started to get to work?

i got a day off tomorrow so i hope you can answer asap thanks man again it looks great

alright, this is what i did....

1) Cover battery, distributor, and alternator with plastic and tape.
2) Then take a hose with some type of pressure stream and wet everything in the engine bay
3) Apply "Simple Green" everywhere in the bay and soak for 2 minutes.
4) Srub anything that is sticky and won't come off.
5) Take the hose ans wash down and let it dry.
6) Once dry, take Tire Shine Material and spray on any black stuff. It'll leave a shine and makes it look new.

That's all I did and it turned out nice. Around 30 minutes total with everything done from start to finish.

iacv is at the back of the IM, right where the tb attaches. the fiv is at the bottom of the tb. you should see 2 coolant lines running to the fiv.
