i'm goin for the whole brown theme

 

 

Here's ny96max's. Hope you don't mind Ant

 

wow, very impressive

 

thanks














haha seriously though, what does it take to maintain an engine bay that clean? My car came dirty as hell... it's all cleaned out but no where near perfect so i dont even try. maybe i should get it steam steam cleaned.

 

lol, mine came pretty clean... still is, im gonna pass around a wipe or two around there to keep it that way for now.. Dealer cleaned it out before they sold it to me thank god...

 

what is the best way to clean an engine bay?

 

Simple Green has done wonders for me.

 

what do you do? spray it on and hose it off? do you have to cover your battery??

 

You got it! I cover my pop charger with a plastic bag. I use a fine mist spray pattern to rinse off. I don't cover my battery since one of the terminals is covered already with a plastic cover.

Oh yeah, Simple Green is NOT corrosive.

 

Geez...I thought my engine was dirty but nadir has got me beat...not by much though...gotta go clean that bish...just so scared that I'll mess something up...

 

All stock baby, and completely spotless.

 

just send jason (thebigsadler) a PM and i'm sure he wont mind showin u pics of his

 

Mine's nothing fancy but it might give you some ideas esp. if you're on a budget the way I am.



(below) I'm still polishing my upper plenum and spark plug cover. Yes, Simple Green does work well.

 

So this "simple green", you just spray it on then hose it off? Where do ya get, any regular auto parts store? Any special thing you got to cover , besides the intake?

 

I bought my Simple Green at a local auto parts store. This is what the bottle looks like:


Spray on, give it a minute to work its charm, then hose off. If there's lots of gritty crap, you might want to do some wiping with heavy duty paper towels that don't fall apart when wet. All I did was just bag up my intake. The car started fine the next morning.

Is his exhaust manifold polished? or chromed?

 

and i didnt even need to post pics myself...

Ant

 

Thats a polished intake runners your looking at, not his exhaust manifold.

 

delio

 

Anyone that is going to clean their engine bay and only going to cover their intake and battery better beware cause your car may have problems in the future or may not even start the next day. Instead of me explaining it, read this article, it explains everything.

thanks, free bump!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd have to say that turbo97se has the nicest engine bay... Turbo, MEVI with cover... It doesn't even look like a Maxima engine to me anymore .

this was mine last year...........you don't want to see it this year

 

I like Tonys (1MAXNV) but here's mine:

 

When cleaning the engine bay, other than the intake, do you have to worry about any electricaly wires or fuses that may control fuel injection and headlights and all that good stuff? I see alot of wires in the engine bay. I dont want to short anything out or just mess things up at all. Let me know guys! Thanks alot!!!
