the loop is not hardly any tighter than the way they bend around on the top side factory.

Question about your alternator what relocation kit did you use and did you have to get rid of power steering. I would really like to put my alternator lower but I want to keep PS

Did you fabricate that top radiator support yourself or is it something I could order somewhere? That just looks sweet, and clean.

LALT1,

Could you list all of the delete mods you've done under the hood?

I'm glad I found this thread. Just today, I called a shop to buy braided lines for the fuel line relocation. Fortunately, I didn't have measurements so I did more searches and came up with this thread saying that you COULD use the stock lines.

Do you get heavy fuel smells as a result of deleting your EVAP line? Does it effect emissions tests?

Thanks

well as you can tell I have done a ton of delete mods. As far as emissions not anything I have to worry about here, and yes deleting some things can affect emissions. As far as fuel smells, the only smell I get is when I running on 110 .

ABS deleted
Evap deleted
Air condition deleted
air pump deleted
over flow and washer bottle deleted
Basically just the coil, opti, injectors, water pump, tps and Map sensor is the only wires running anything on this car, spent alot of time cleaning it up under the hood.

Dude, that engine bay (and the car itself) is the ****! I envy the fact that you can just gut it w/o worrying. Plus, my wife gives me the thumbs down on !AC, lol. Why did you opt to go NA and lose the SC setup? If the smell of EVAP delete is negligible like you say, I might try to drop it as well. I've read most say that the smell is strong, however.

I am using a over flow, but a small billet one mounted in the front of the inner wheel well liner.


Opted to just sell the Super charger after the cam broke on me, it was fun on the car, but also alot of headaches running 8lbs on a 12.8:1 engine. The TNT kit cluttered under the hood more than I wanted so I let it go also. Next project when this engine goes, if it ever does will be a turbo set up, but I will have to start from scratch. Which sux, I have a great set of heads, but @ 48cc they are just too closed for boost.

But thanks for the props on the car guys.
