First bought the car Holy crap thats a lot of **** in there....


After intake and throttle body mod plus lots of other removal


Warm air is crappy air so modified the air intake to Cold Air Intake!!


And lastly who wants a battery in the way? I dont!!

 

that is very clean. wish mine was like that.

good job on the intake.

 

Now get that ac/ps out of the way

 

Keep the A/C, its hot in Texas

 

agree with the A/C!!

 

lol no joke... im waiting for it to break... but its gonna be a while cause its in mint condition.. and when it does the tops down all the time lol

 

There's nothing worse then a hot summer rain. It's raining so you can't roll the window down, and if you don't have AC it really sucks.

 

You still got way too much in your engine bay

I'll take pics of mine tomorrow, its gettin pretty empty!

 

lol i know i do... yes please post them id like to see them

edit: i hope your not going to post a pic of the motor OUT!!

 

get a E-fan then you ahve lots of space

 

i want an e-fan but im waiting on till i can afford a few things with it and install it all at once

 

don't get rid of your clutchfan unless it breaks.

 

ya $150fc thats one thing i was also waiting on, i know the clutch fan outcools any other fan made.. one thing is my car does run way too cool, most of the time it wont even go up to 1/4 of the way of the guage, what could this be.... i just know all the cooling stuff is mint

 

Engine bay looked clean as hell in the first pic....awesome in the last pic.
Wish mine looked like that.
And yes keep the a/c. I'm not as fortunate being that I have to replace my a/c compressor which is sitting in the garage as of this time. And I just got my power window working. I'm calling the car "the oven" until it is fixed or winter comes back around.

 

Good work. It's a vert right? Where & how did you relocate the battery?

 

meh, it's not all that bad without AC... i get by. i still have it, but i never use it.

 

If i recall correctly this is perfectly normal for an S4 N/A. Mine runs pretty much the same, about 1/4 way up the guage level and a perfect 180-185 MAX on the microtech read-out.

yeah my 86 runs the same temp, and also very good work on the spring cleaning

 

Outcools any other fan made? According to who? No one has actually tested the cfm's of the stock fan... besides, with an e-fan you can have it turn on at any temp you want and keep it cooler. 1/4 of the way on an s4 is normal, thats what mine always is and all my cooling stuff is stock from 1988

 

Alright here are the pics I said I'd post. I didn't clean my engine or anything, this is how it always looks and my battery is not relocated currently. But here ya go...

Oh and also, when I said you still got way too much stuff in there, I was refering to the rats nest you still have, ps, ac, and clutch fan (which I know I still have but I will be going e-fan eventually).











Future plans for the engine bay are: E-fan with no fan shroud, cai, relocated (lightweight) battery. There's really not much more I personally can do, I've removed almost everything I can I still want to go through it, though, and clean up any old brackets or plastic wire/tube holders that are in there that are no longer used. Plus I need to take the little pipe that comes from the gas tank that should be going to the charcoal canister out and have it vent somewhere else.

 

Oh yes, and in those pics you can see my whole 3 vac lines

2 going into the tb/dynamic chamber (red) and then the boost sensor going into the intake mani, I love no longer having tons of stupid vac lines.

 

all i can say is wow man that looks awesome... one day mine will look like that though im tempted to go out there RIGHT NOW and rip it all out but here its nice to have some creature comforts (texas) soon as that crap goes out though im getting that ****... nice work on the car man props to ya.. btw got any times for that car? im curious what you run... thanks

Yah that's understandable, I'd want AC in Texas. My AC was actually broken and I would've had to convert it to todays new standard whatever it is, which I didn't want to do, so out it came

Thanks a bunch, I've been working on it for a while and am almost done. No times yet, I'm hopefully going to the track on May 5th or 7th. I'm really anxious to see what I'm running. I've removed 196.2 lbs so far!! Plus my full exhaust, k&n filter, ported intake manifolds, tb mod, etc... I am really excited

 

yes please post the times man... props on your car keep up the good work

 

jdub why does your acv plate say "do not install" hehe
