Move battery to trunk.
Lose your cruise control, power steering, and a/c.



Your sig is also HUGE.

Your sig. Remove that huge picture before I do... and then we'll talk.

power steering is staying and ac is also cruise control can go what else

basically thats it if u don't wanna lose the ac or power steering ... there nothing u can do

[deevergote]

Get a CAI and move your air filter into the fenderwell. If you don't use your winshield washers, you can remove the reservoir (though I HATE not having washers on my car... every car I get, I somehow manage to break the washers... even my 09 Fit)

Go through and remove any unused brackets.

[91cb7ny]

my washer has been removed is there anything else

Remove everything from the engine bay and power it like the flintstones do j/k

Though there really isn't much more you can take out that will really make it look less cluttered. You could do the EGR block off plate and remove the EGR valve if your fine with a CEL, although you really shouldn't remove it because it does reduce NOx emissions and it doesn't hurt performance because it only opens when at a cruising speed. There is also the charcoal canister but please don't remove that because then you'll release a lot more hydrocarbons in the form of gas vapors from your gas tank, that thing will also give you better gas mileage because it lets you use the gas that would have just evaporated. However maybe you could relocate it to somewhere less visible.

do a d15 swap that will free up some space lol j/k relocate the batterie big help

[steelbluesleepR]

you can delete the control box thats on the passenger side firewall, all you need to do is open it up and remove the map sensor. zip tie the map sensor under your intake manifold and run a vaccuum line to it. this might throw a CEL, but if you are ok with that, you can also delete your EGR as said above. you can also block off your air-boost valve and take the coolant lines that run to the throttle body off and loop them.

relocate your battery to the trunk (on the passenger side and as close to center of the rear wheel as possible is preferred for good weight distribution), delete CC, tuck the coolant overflow bottle in front of the radiator, after the battery relocation, run a prelude intake (puts the filter where the battery used to be and looks a lot better than a tiny short ram intake).

after all that, spend as much time as it takes to get your engine bay SPOTLESS and it will make everything pop. dont forget about the little touches also, polishing or painting little parts eventually makes a big impact in the look of your bay.

relocate your battery to the trunk (on the passenger side and as close to center of the rear wheel as possible is preferred for good weight distribution), .

so what your saying is despite having ~150 pound male sitting in the driver seat, it is still important to move the battery.... maybe 10 pounds to the center of the wheel base to "balance" the car? lol

there aint much u can do bro everything that was told to u before me wont really add much space unless u take out the AC n P/S :\ if u want a clean engine bay the only thing to do really is to get a wire tuck

[91cb7ny]

thanks guys you have been a great help i am really debating taking the ac out

[deevergote]

I haven't had AC or PS since 2003... really not a big deal. I drove my CB for work for a year, too... about 40,000 miles that year.

also if you are not in a place that checks emissions you can remove the charcoal canister. there's a diy somewhere. and about the map sensor, one of the h22 TBs has the map sensor on top, so maybe you could get that (after the prelude intake). you can delete your fitv if you r in a warm enough climate. remove the hood latch and get pins, remove the heater (eliminates heater hoses to firewall). relocate fuse box under the dash. also the wires that control your fuel injectors can be relocated under the fuel rail. the injectors just need to be rotated upside down then plugged back in. looks a lot nicer. check out my bay in my MR thread \/
