Stripping Unneeded Engine Items

[Adz2332]

Hey all

Currently in the strip down stage of my track car.

Below are pics of the engine with turbo removed and carbon canister gone etc.

Is there anything else that isnt needed or can be tidied?

I cant see much more. But just after another set of eyes!

Plus while people are reading, wheres the cheapest and easiest place to get a 6boost gasket?

I would remove that piece of cast iron, it's really quite heavy, and weight is the biggest killer of performance.

You need it all.

Coil pack cover could go

[Adz2332]

Haha very funny...

I just cant see if ive missed any air pollution shit. Any air conditioning stuff, heater, ummm that sorta stuff

Ditch the bonnet catch assembly.

Use bonnet pins.

I'd keep the charcoal canister, it's like 100grams and soaks up the fuel tank fumes and burns them while the engine is running, and has zero effect on hp.

Sound attenuation material is heavy, inside the cabin, removing trim and that sound junk will save you some weigh.

NO

could block off the line the goes from the rocker cover breather to the intake mani if running a breather on catch can, change hose on turbo water return line so no leaks and change heater hoses for any future leaks

WTF is a 6boost gasket?

[Dale FZ1]

Don't replace heater hoses.

Ditch the heater. Definitely no future leaks.

Dan J - why not ditch the bonnet catch. It will need 2 fastenings, pins will do the job nicely and remove surplus sheet metal that impedes airflow to the radiator. Less can be more, even if it means a bit more work.

Ben - agreed. This thread belongs in Motorsport Builds though.

Heater has also been removed already

Interior is stripped. Sound deadner has been removed. Most wiring has been removed.

Have a very light carbon bonnet.

Headlights gone. Looking for some sealed lights to use.

At the moment getting a list of mods together.

A 6boost manifold gasket?

I would also like to know about the 6-boost gasket...... My 6-boost only came with a T3 gasket.... I might have to complain to Kyle

[Dan_J]

dale, i just dont like the look of them, then the effort of putting two clips in each time you close the bonnet haha

[Adz2332]

Im unsure of what im saying wrong. The 6boost manifold I have needs a gasket to go between the engine and manifold as the one I have is a bit shitty

[R31 POWER]

Stock boost solenoid can go.
