Shaved, wire tucked, and custom engine bays? part 21

Anthonydinatale 09-21-2011 09:29 PM

also looking to do some tucking just dont know where to start in this subie mess lol...
EvileyeZ88 09-21-2011 09:59 PM

There are some things that are easy to tuck away and make the engine bay look good. Mine is a daily driver, its no way near as tucked as some of these other bays in this thread, but the engine bay looks a heck of a lot better than it did stock.

[U]A few easily tuckable items:[/U]
Bcs bracket/solenoid
Washer fluid tank (on later models)
Coolant overflow tank
Air pump (on newer models)
Smaller battery/Battery relocation
Fusebox reloaction
Random assortment of jumbled wires

^ Where are you guys putting the fuse box? Are you extending the forty-eleven wires?
573 09-22-2011 09:23 AM

I believe most guys are putting it in the fender. Others modify wire lengths and put them under the seat or glove compartment.
Rice Devil 09-22-2011 10:32 AM

Quick question AGAIN! lol

The wires that are shielded how do you lengthen them? I can't remember correctly but is their not a couple from the fuse box? I fancy putting the fuse box in the dash under the air bag cover (don't have an air bag anymore GASP SHOCK HORROR!!)

I put mine in the fender to begin with then I extended the wires an put it under the usdm drivers seat. It gets too dirty in the fender even with the splash gaurd
573 09-22-2011 02:30 PM

If I were to relocate mine, I would probably replace all of the shielded wires from connector to connector to connector. In fact, I'd probably do that with all of the wires. Solder and heat shrink are good, but in using that method, you're introducing a point of weakness. However, for most people, that won't really matter.
arisking 09-22-2011 02:38 PM

I extended my wires so my fuse box sits just under my glove box. I just used heat shrink and double tied the wires together. No solder, everything works perfectly.
Rice Devil 09-28-2011 10:58 AM

Top for more great ideas.

D- how'd you hide all the wires running to the under hood fuses that were re located to under the seat? Did you run it under the carpet through where the rear heat comes out?

This engine bay looks pretty clean

yeah mine run under the carpet along the frame rail, then follow the bump in the floor board and come out in the whole in the carpet under the seat. It's really clean. Once I take my seats out I will snap pics.
Quadsbc 10-08-2011 10:35 PM

Thanks! for now I'll have it run over the bump but I may re do it and run it through it.
xxscaxx 10-10-2011 10:24 AM

Just figured I'd share this photo of my bay. Someone snapped a pic of it at a local car meet yesterday.

Budget Tuckin'....lol

Yess I know I need to lengthen the alternator wire and hide the harness better on the driver side...been occupied lately.

Rice Devil 10-13-2011 11:22 AM

quick question before I do anymore on this!!

The coil pack wiring, do you need to keep the correct plug for the correct coil or does it not matter? I didnt mark this oon my spare loom as I didnt think it would any help would be great.

Thanks
Ricey
T_Racer69 10-13-2011 11:25 AM

Not sure I understand the question. But, here goes. Any coil to go to any cylinder, but the plug for the coil is cylinder specific. The coils are all the ame for all 4 cylinders, only the wiring harness with the plugs for the coils is specific to the location.

This is a terrible idea. You really need to solder the wires. It might work for a while but it will fail. If you're lucky, something will just stop working. If you're not, you could burn the car to the ground.

Bugger it, will need to start again and get another loom :0( no way of knowing which is which?

T_Racer69 10-13-2011 04:37 PM

Surely, there is some way of figuring it out short of buying a new harness. The ECU has to be different pins for the cylinders.

Its obvious you dont have a wiring guide. Get one use it! Just that simple.
jonnoc 10-13-2011 08:47 PM

What about just untieing and resoldering one wire at a time? No confusion then.

going for the fred flinstone idea. I spun a bearing in my 2.slow, so the idea is going to be a built 2.5l short block, 272 cammed and ported wrx heads, sti tranny, and stock location 35r. I am planning on doing a decent wire tuck, relocating the battery and windshield wash to the trunk, hide some wires, and clean up the bay a bit. But like I said, right now I am more aiming towards the fred flintstone idea...

Heat soak.

It's doable, just need a,lot of heat shields, wrap, tape, etc. As well as an awesome cooling system.

Wat? A stock location turbo doesn't necessitate that he run a stock location intercooler. Setups being otherwise equal, I think the main reason to go rotated rather than stock location is faster spool.
scby rex 12-12-2011 11:12 PM

cheaper turbo options. REAL turbos, not some garret housing stuffed in a mitsubishi TD housing. No restrictive turbo inlet, cheaper, cleans up the engine bay, cheaper...did I mention cheaper and more turbo options? Seriously I dont understand people paying 300 for a ewg stand uppipe then 2k on some stock location turbo, then 200-300 on a turbo inlet thats going to fit like crap. Then 200-400 on a ewg, then bitch about how it doesnt clear their " OMG HUGE 4 inch bell mouth DP" Then bitch because their 300$ turbo inlet doesnt clear without TGV deletes. GO rotated, get a REAL turbo, Get a unrestrictive intake for 20 bucks,**** make our own, and spend the same on the uppipe and dp. UNless your just trying to look stock for your states visual inspection whats the point? Trying to have a "sleeper"? its a ****ing rice rocket and everyone from 9 to 80 years old knows it. /rant

are there any shops that are doing the wiring for a descent price?
iceman967 12-28-2011 02:35 PM

The reason I am running the stock location is because I bought a ATP Gt3582r stock location turbo, turbo inlet, up pipe, tial 44 ewg w/ dump tube/clamps, and dp for $1500. 5500 miles on the turbo. That's why the **** I am running it stock location haha. I plan on getting a turbo blanket for it as well once I am closer to completion of the build.

FYI, your wiring harness is racist as it is installed in the car... The white plugs go towards the front of the motor, and the black plugs go in the back. :lol::lol:

mil spec connectors are not cheap..i deal with them at work..stupid amounts of money for a connector and some pins..plus you have to re use your old wire from the stock harness of completely re run all the wires...

plus lets add in the special crimper needed..that is the most expensive part lol

Hey man, I sent you a text the other day, should i resend it?
Dpwhitehead1 01-03-2012 10:39 PM

also, to the people who've deleted their abs, when you delete the connector for it, what do you do to the harness portion? take it out of the ECM connector?

I'm curious, i was thinking the ECM would either notice that the lines weren't giving it a reading and throw some kind of light, or something?

I was wondering that because I wanted to delete AC and wondered if you could just delete the lines from AC, and other things, if it wouldn't cause a cel, or the ECM to act stupid.
