Default What should I do with my Engine bay. Boost inside.

So I have a 01 ITR. Obviously, and I want todo some thing with the engine bay. Nothing major.

As of now the whole A/C system is out of the car. I was going to upgrade it too a ram horn and use a bigger turbo, but I decided to stick with what I have.



This is my current set up.

LMk what you would do. I just want to "clean" it up.

Thanks Guys.

Damn that engine bay is a mess!!!! Lol well I would love to give you some advice but I would just say rip everything out and put it back together piece by piece with only what you want and need I've been shaving and tucking bays for over 12 years I started on vw's in 99' and IMHO it looks good when everything is nice and neat. I love the clean oem look to

Yeah..... No.

I thank you for your advise but this car is a DD. I have PS, AC, all my little nick nacks.

Too pull every thing out would be insane.

Ive decided on a few things.

Get a Vacuum Block to clean up all the vacuum lines.
Upgrade to a better looking tubular log style manifold.
Maybe tuck the Drivers side and Passenger side headlight Harnesses.
Get a new oem valve cover bc my current one has some chips.

No I didn't say rip everything out I said pull everything and put only what you need back... S2000 clutch master with a steel braided line is a nice start. Fuse panel to inside the car? Rywire or chase bays harness? A new coolant catch tank stainless steel? Moving ground wires and or misc unnecessary brackets these are just a couple of easy cheap ideas to clean your bay up

O ok, I was going to say. Def not pulling the motor etc etc.

And yeah, gonna do a stainless clutch line. Not gonna spend 600 on a chase bays harness. Like I said Im not trying todo a full tuck just clean it up a little bit.

Im going to redo the head light harnesses inside the fenders. I did that on a old hatch a long time ago. and it helps. a little bit lol.

And I also have a new front bumper metal holding down thing. I know mines rusty lol.
