Cleaning Up the Engine- What to Remove

[gr8regal]

These Hot Boxes have alot of what seems like extra crap on top of them---- QUESTION ******

What can be Removed, Relocated or Block off to help this Pig get cleaned up?

Can the Thermastat Housing be changed to something without the extra hose they leak(cheap metal). or who has a extra (new)?

What about the cooling lines the throttle body???

Easiest way to bypass the heater?

Let me get rid of the CRAP.

A suggestion for you... take the wires in the engine compartment and run them in your fender, obviously making sure that they are well protected against the elements.. my .02 cents.

You can just put a cap on the heater core lines and the water pump and intake if you don't want heat. Remove A/C, fuel vapor canister, get ride of all those junky metal vaccum lines ( block off coolent) and reaplace them with vaccum line, I made a block off plate for my egr and when I got my new chip burnt I took out egr and boost soliniod. Get rid of clutch fan for electirc (if you don't already have one.) You could get rid of the whole heater and A/C assembly on the passenger ( I haven't gone that far yet ) Trim down you turbo shield. Remove factory air box and get a K@N, cruise control and relocate battery to trunk, one more that makes the biggest difference when you get an electric fan get use the top part of the shroud that bolts to core and cut the rest away.
There's a few ideas if you haven't done then already.

Later, Burnout
