hm...would really suck if you blew a fuse. then you'd have to take your whole bumper off.

 

do you drive your car in the rain? Can't it get wet under there?

 

Looks clean..
Looking into doing this sometime soon.

 

do you have to remove the bumoer to put washer fluid in??

 

It appears that way.

 

Would this still work with a CAI? (I have a SRI so I dont know exactly where the pipe/filter end up)

 

That has to be the cleanest RSX engine bay iv'e ever seen.

I am mechanically retarded, but i'm guessing you had to remove the AC and Power steering to get it that way?

 

No both are intact by the looks of things

 

yea PS pump is on top of belt.. and the ac line is one from a diff model car.. please confirm.

 

the ac line looks stock to me but i could be wrong

 

i just cant remember if the line goes over the engine itself?

 

yeah it does i just checked some engine shots that i had. i seen type s paz just did an ac line "tuck" that looked sweet and is alot better then a delete.

 

who ever deletes it is retarded... comfort in +25c weather > 10 HP

 

for show, its necessary. plus i NEVER use my A/C anyways.

:bow:

 

yeah, at first I was like Celsius? then i looked at where you were from. I did the conversion and yes +95 is no good with out ac. I dont normally use it but it is nice to have in case. especially for the people with leather seats.

 

I wonder if you could cut up a piece of rubber as a gasket just as a safety precaution.

 

P/S and A/C are all still there, didnt have to mod anything because everything for the most part in on the other side of the engine bay.
i DO plan on deleting my P/S and A/C very soon (within the next couple months)

... i have something planned for this that no one with and RSX has done before.... :shady:


CAI would have to be modded to fit with the fuse box the way i mounted it. i had my CAI on for a while, but took of recently cuz of rain.


i do drive in the rain with this (like i said in the original post) and i have driven through 2 rainy seasons with it like this and have had no problems what so ever.


YES, i DO have to remove my bumper to get to the fise box, and also to fill the washer fluid reservoir, but it literaly takes my about 2 minutes to remove my bumper.... so its no big deal.


if there are any other questions let me know.

 

Yeah taking the bumper off isn't bad. I know you said it has been fine driving in the rain but I would still want the peace of mind of having the gasket idea I mentioned earlier. Its amazing what a difference just removing 1 thing from the engine bay will do. It looks nice, Iv'e always been a fan of white rsx's

 

thanks man! and yeah, the gasket idea is a good idea. the oem gasket in there already is hella skimpy

 

What did u do to extend the postive battery cable to the fuse box? Did u just cut and splice to make it reach?

 

exactly! :thumbsup:

i was gonna go this route but decided to relocate it to the glove box.. looks sick nonetheless

nice! im planning on putting in in trunk when i do my wire tuck

nice write up
i did this like a month ago and did it the exact same way you have it :thumbsup:

 

some good info on the relocation.

 

Looks good.. I wanna do this soon.. I would really love to relocate inside the car but where you have it will be fine for now until I feel like diving into it that much..

 

im the same way. thats why i did it this way for now.

 

:laughing:

 

Seems easy, only thing that would probably be a pain is the mount removal/ adjusting.

 

mount removal is actually very easy.

get a floor jack, put a phone book on top of it.
place jack under the oil pan and jack up tokk the stress is off the mount bolt. undo the bolts holding the mount in place.... and boom! there ya go!

 

what wires did you extend for relocate,want to do this but want to make sure i have everything first before i start it,so i dont run back and forth to tha auto store

 

Bump for answer
