Depends how far you want to go you can remove and re-route alot
Sounddd might look into sorting tht out then make it look abit more tidy
Cheers guys
Anyone got anymore pics of this?
Just noticed on hi5 in his build thread hes done blanked one off on water pump
jtec - that engine bay looks so bare compared to mine, great work
You can remove a fair bit, I have got a few bits in the boot tho lol

No need to blank off any pipe on the water pump.
i like the relocation of the water bottle and battery... think il have a bit a that!!
battery is in standard position for the van mate, probs best off leaving it passenger side for weight distribution. Header tank can go the other side as per coupe setup
No pipe off top of water bottle?
Nope, not needed
whats that bit of wire thats going in to lobster?
ktype thermocouple i think, measuring inlet charge temps
Yeah its an Ian S charge temp gauge
gonna do this at some point then looks better!
What's the job of the swirl pot anyway?
Is it something to do with removing air from the coolant?
any more pics of tidy bays please or any close ups of when the header tank is moved to the other side?
really like the idea of de cluttering
A little bit different to Brigsy's and still have the swirl pot But no turbo/carb/inlet manifold pipes.
Yep i'm pretty sure its there to stop air building up in the cooling system, once you've initially 'blown' the air out of the system to start with.
makes quite a difference, good pic
Less = more in the 5 engine bay
After asking about this i never removed the swirl pot, i relocated the headertank to scuttle, wanna remove the swirl pot now though, what pipes go to where ? any pics? Cheers
