Jack_fur Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Wanna get rid of some of the clutter in the engine bay. A list of things that can be deleted and replaced with better parts would be cool. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 If you replace something with a "better part," you haven't deleted anything. You have simply replaced it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omega_rugal Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 i removed all the emissions related stuff on mine: vacuum lines, canister, removed all the related wiring, solenoids... of course no emissions test where i live... also there was no AC compressor so everything related to it is gone, i don't like to breath cold air anyway...

omega_rugal Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 the engine bay is so cramped that you can't clean it up without losing functionality... is up to you what to keep and what to throw away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Part and parcel of the MJ being a small vehicle - the engine bay isn't very big. Everything in there has a purpose. You may not like that purpose (emissions) but it's all got a reason for being there. The only "open" engine bay you're gonna get in one of these is an absolute stripper with a 2.5. Emissions equipment and A/C are the only things you really can just get rid of. I wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t suggest electric steering anyways. To many problems with some of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also wouldn't suggest it unless you were doing an electric "EV" conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
