i was wondering how you guys did this and what i have to cover up in order to do this? And also do you guys have any pics?

 

<--- wondering also...

 

I use this stuff called CD-2 and its sold in all the autoparts store. Do not use it on a hot/warm motor. Spray it on and let it sit there for a while, then wipe.

 

You can pressure wash it. That is what I did, worked well for me.

 

"Greased Lightining"

 

simple green

 

yeah let the engine cool, the spray simple green ON EVERYTHING!!! just let is sit for a min or 2 that hose of with garden hose. Looks like a new car everytime

 

Simple green, brake parts cleaner, and hot water used inside one of those sprayers your dad uses to spray for bugs... they are 10 bucks at walmart and work great. make sure to watch out for any electronics and especially boost control sensors/selenoids.

 

Grease Lightining here too, works great and easy, spray on and leave for like 30min and then wipe off.

 

Not a turbo engine bay but:

gunk foaming engine degreaser.

 

i cleaned my engine bay with simple green when my car was N/A... i just want to make sure if i have to do anything different when it's turboed...

 

thats awesome

 

did you guys cover the turbo also ? i was wondering about that part .

 

<--Uses Mean Grean cleaner

The turbo shouldn't need to be covered up...It has a pipe going in the inlet, and a pipe going out; along w/ everything else capped off. It gets wet some neways while driving in rainy weather.

daaaaamn inlinepro manifold is sick!!!!
sexy *** engine bay!

back on topic: i'm considering paying this local company $45 to clean my engine before the turbo install. think it's worth it? FYI i have no under-engine plastic tray and both my CV boots are ripped! haha i'll be getting my money's worth! engine has never been cleaned in 7 years!!

 

with both cv boots ripped and never been cleaned in 7 years, that $45 is well worth it.

 

i as well like the manifold

 

again back to my original question..what should i cover up in the bay?? thanks alot for all the replies guys.

 

NOTHING, MUHAHAHAHAHAAHAH, DEATH TO ELECTRONICS...

Just avoid getting water on:

Distributor (It's got a cap, but still)
Main wiring harness going in to the fuse box on the passenger hand side.
Anything that looks like a wire
Maybe injector tops

Just cover the distributor with a platstic bag, or few bags. I do this when I pressured wash it and I have never had a problem yet.
