Engine Bay Picture Thread

[eg6sir]

maybe its me or the camera is angled.. but it looks like your motor sits lower on the driver side

 

[formby]

its the camera. all the mounts are new.

 

[Estorvito]

looks good formbro

 

[formby]

thank you. sometime in the near future i'm installing my shaved and polished valve cover

 

[ripperbone]

my old crx si (b16a3)

do u know what color that is? like the name or paint code if you have it, thats pretty close to the color of my car and once i got my swap i was brainstorming whether or not to paint the engine cover, and i noticed this and i think it made my decision for me

oh course i know the name of the color i used i painted that valve cover twice. i used the duplicolor metalcast anodized paint in blue and also used the metalcast ground coat

Duplicolor Paint Catalog - Metalcast Anodized Paint - Dupli Color Automotive Paints from Diversified Brands

you can get them at autozone or walmart in the automotive section. they are about $5 a can. both are high temp paints

it looks better in person then in my pictures

 

[GSRCRXsi]

nice zip ties and nitrous bracket, LMAO

the msd wires like to slide off, so the zippies work good

 

[GSRCRXsi]

yea i know they do, i run them. i think they updated their design. the last set i bought (last year) didnt have any problems staying on. but the set before that was very prone to popping off the distributor and spark plugs

 

[phunky.buddha]

well he said filter, but if its the stack he means its the IB stack.

What stack?

That's awesome. I need to start making "brackets" like that.

So mine:

Before:

After:

It's a simple conversion- I just rotated the engine and battery a bit and everything fell into place.

















Just kidding. Others:

the spark plug cover was painted with the metal cast ground coat

 

[friz]

I'll throw mine in for good measure

 

[EGProject]

I still <3 that engine bay.

 

[Taco15]

well the motor and car have been sold. but i was very proud of the engine bay thanks to Andrew for the wire tuck


B16A swap

my favorite........fully built Lsvtec

 

[boostedf22]

just curious , how did that thing run with just an airfilter on the TB ??

 

[Taco15]

the same...... only difference was sound. When i had my lsvtec in there it was REALLY loud when it crossed over to vtec. thanks to the skunk2 stage 2 cams. it sounded like the throttle body was right n your ear.

i didnt run it like that on purpose though. i just didnt have right piping for it at the time. the one i did have would have scratched the paint off.

 

[daveholiday]

on my rex I had the air filter right on the throttle body for a while because it was a cheap replacement for the stock shit, but I actually think it ran better with the airbox, my throttle response was through the roof but after like 3500rpm it just started dying

 

[Andrew]

Abel! 'Bout time you get back on here...

Whats the latest on the "new build"?

(just trying to start some rumors)

 

[brian11to1]

How about we leave it to pictures?
