[BH5 Rev-C De-Loom]

Hey,

I am in the process of doing an engine conversion and while everything was out I was thinking I could de-loom the engine bay.

It looks like its going to be a big job but if I am going to do it I may aswell go all out and fill in all existing holes etc and paint the engine bay, Does anyone have any tips on the best locations to put everything?

I was planning on moving the battery to the boot as well as the window washer bottle, The fuse box i was going to jam under the dash.

I would love to utilize the inner guards etc as much as I can as well.

With that being said, can I just paint straight over the top of the VIN plate or can I remove it and put it back when I am done?

This and the knock sensor are my next consideration. Did you use an OEM sensor or generic replacement? Been seeing notes that suggest the OEM O2 sensor is needed.

And fingers crossed it actually comes out

I used a bosch replacement which i ordered through wingers.

I would also run carb cleaner through the AFM to give it a good clean, if either of the 2 are playing up you get false positives codes popping up. Knock sensor would throw a check engine light.

"It's manual, and I don't have a boost gauge. I'm figuring I need to buy one and hook it it up asap?"

With a boost gauge installed you will be able to diagnose weather or not you have a Vac or Boost leak, if neither of the two are apparent it could be something as easy and a solenoid that needs cleaning, sometimes the turbo inlet pipes crack/split which can cause a whole hell of a headache, again if you find something wrong replace it with a part that is new, the last thing you want to do is rip apart most of the motor to find that it all needs to come back off again at some stage because the 2nd hand part you installed failed.

Alot of the time the plastic piping under the intercooler crack/split, I suggest replacing these if you pull the intercooler of as they are restrictive standard and they are a prick to put back on.

I am fairly new to this forum but I believe there are quite a few people that have posts up about how to do most things related to these motors.

have you tried the 02 sensor? I had an issue with mine for awhile, tried everything BUT the 02 sensor, what you say is sort of consistent with the beginning of o2 sensor failure. Mine would normally stumble between 2000 - 3000rpm for about 2 seconds then just pickup and go.
