Here you go. Try some side mount alternator action and dual MK I MR2 fans with a healthy helping of Dellorto on the side and some 2GDFIS thrown in.

Happy Holidays everyone. This is a fun thread. Lets see some more.

I guess I'll post the ones I took recently. It's still pretty dirty, though.

No one has yet. I'm still running the off-the-shelf settings until my wideband arrives.

oh man this thread is awesome, very nice set-ups...only thing i would add if you guys want is that if you have a build thread (engine swaps, turbo, sc..etc..) you could post the link to it along with your pics in case some people have questions about your set up they can just read it...just a thought....extremely jealous of all the bays i've seen thus far haha

Nice video Ray but we need pictures. This isn't the "post videos of my smooth idling FB" thread now is it?

I know for a fact you have pictures of your clean engine bay with that new heat shield and all. Come on!

Aftermarket components

It never ceases to amaze me the things some people put in their engine compartments, and yet people here have criticized my choice of "components". Is it the MSD they don't like, or maybe my home made strut bar?

Nevertheless, no one has ever suggested mine was not clean enough.

Very clean! But that kind of looks like a V8 in the top pic? At least you kept the stock fan. Nice! And that '79 is to die for.
