Rb25De Engine Bay

[central coast person]

Remove the RC and sand them for 15 min each with 1000Grit wet and dry then same with a 2000Grit. After that get a good metal polish, I bought some German made one that was about $20 for a tube and i hand polished it for ages but if you use a drill with a polish tool on the end or a Rotary tool "dremil" it ends up way better. Mine are only hand polished and to keep them in good nick you would need to every 12-24 months re polish.

Apart from that I bought a lot of stuff new in the engine bay as you can see. I always wanted a titanium intake pipe but its just too expensive to serve no purpose other than look good.

thanks a lot man, looks so much better than i thought it would. 100% be giving it a go

A bench grinder with polishing wheel will make the last step of the process much easier and faster.

Anyone seen anything done with the standard Neo manifold that curl over the engine

I'm fairly sick of not being able to do things like spark plugs without like 2 hours labour

The aesthetics are just a bonus

[Scott Black]

Yeah seen em replaced with forward facing stuff

[Ben C34]

Putting a forward facing plenum in a non turbo neo would suck harder than anything imaginable.

To save the doing plugs lose heaps of torque?

How often are you doing plugs?

To really do anything worthwhile, it needs to be engine out, paint the bay, tidy up/replace anything that looks faded etc and paint

My NA engine was fairly showy
