Okay so im going home today from college for a 3 month summer break, well deserved, i wanted to know what are the easiest things to do to my engine bay to make it look better and free up some space, im planing on removing the AC and PS already and the EGR vavle and solenoid once i get the $$$ for a chipped p28, and Cruise control; Do you guys have any other suggestions on what i can do, keep in mind i am a NOOB lol
Oh yea I have a 1995 honda prelude si



I changed the battery terminals already, and intake pipe to an injen CAI and filter
Can i unbolt the Map sensor behind the intake manifold, and drop it below the manifold, to hide it?
What can i do to remove the rust powder on the head of the motor near the headers? How about all the dry water marks?
What paint can i use to paint my radiator brackets flat black?
Also what can i use to paint my alternator, flat black also? thanks

After

water&simple green&rags&time

 

a prelude is a heavy *** bitch to handle around with no ps buddy good luck

 

Battery in the trunk

 

Battery Relocation = HUGE open space

You could get an Odyssey or smaller gel battery and weld a bracket where the resonator for the intake sits, that cleans it up.

get rid of cruise control that thing has wires everywhere then do a mild wiretuck just search around.

 

simple green and a pressure washer. hahaha. remember to cover ur dizzy with a plastic bag when u start spraying with a pressure washer though.

 

i just bought some simple green, what type of paint that will be flat black will be able to with stand the heat of the engine bay? and how do i paint the alternator ?

I also bought Black Magic Engine shine and degreaser fro Autozone should i use that also?

 

give it a honda-tech tuck

 

whats a honda-tech tuck?

 

no need for any hitemp paint unless your painting the headers which im guessing ur not planning on painting.... rustoleum is a pretty decent paint and i wouldnt remove ps. a/c is your choice but im about to throw mines back in its just not worth it to ride around with hot sweaty ***** all the time during the summer...
