Im in the middle of swapping a SR in to a S13 and wanted to know what accessories are not needed basicly i want to get the engine as simplified as possible so it would look super clean in the engine bay.

Im mainly concern about all those coolant hoses on the side of the engine under the intake manifold.

This is my first time working on a SR20 so im not to familiar with all the names, so could some one list all the stuff not needed to make the engine look as simplified as possible(removing unnecessary hoses,emmision systems etc)

I search but could only find info about removing the IACV and im trying to do more then just removing that piece.

I came from the rotary crowd and we like to remove all the unnecessary stuff on the engine.

This was one of my old engines i built and it looks exactly like that once drop in the engine bay so im trying to achieve the same thing with the SR20 in the S13.

Did you convert your FD to NA?
I don't know what Im looking at. I see turbo on top pic. The middle pic is looks like its NA and obviously its stock on the bottom.

SR would look super clean if you make it NA too.

My original plan was a single turbo but the turbo blew so i went NA on the rotary.

But my S14 has a NA SR20(bought it like that) and it does look clean but im trying to accomplished that on a SR20det in a S13.

Well im going to be working on the S13 again on the weekend and i'll post some pics of how the engine looks and what i took off.
