What can I remove from the engine bay, specifically along firewall.

Below is an update to my build thread.

As you can see in the pics, it looks terrible. I don't want to delete things blindly, bc i don't want various things like wipers and stock controls/displays to stop working.

 

Anyone have good looking Bay?

 

What are some things you see that can be safely removed on this megasquirt sq.

 

I haven't updated in a while only because I got busy with 100 things.

 

So to recap, I found out why it has been so sh7y all this time. The head was all out of wack. All 4 cylinders had a max of ~60psi during a compression test. Took it to the trusty folks at Ball Engine and Machine in lilburn (the same people who put the motor together when I got the forged pistons, nitride crank, baller rods, etc 7 years ago) He made the head as good as new again... surfaced the face, new valve guides, seated, the works. It's baller except for we already stripped 2 sets of threads that hold the rocker assembly on...So more delays.

 

here are some pics:

Deleting the giant rear ABS canister will clean up the turbo side and make some room. You just need to run a brake line straight from the master cylinder to the proportioning valve to eliminate it from the system.
