got my HKS DLI wired in tonight
I talked to ben and G about the tps and I only need 3 wires for everything to work... I just gotta figure out which 3 wires
also got all the engine connectors pluged in today so really the only thing holding me back now is the body connectors under the dash

The only thing about relocating the battery is if you want to go to the track you have to have an NHRA approved box along with a cutouff switch accessible from the outside of the vehicle. Can be a PITA.

this makes the engine bay so clean... but damn thats too much work for me, and im scared to short some wires in the process... just extending my harness for the 1jz took me like 10 hours

Since everyones pictures are missing now... I figured I'd bump to see some setups! While I'm saving for a gte to throw in I've been working on cleaning up the bay I've slimed down my pass harness size after abs/trac delete and all the wires from the abs ecu. tomorrow I'll be throwing the harness unloomed back into the bay to get everything positioned right so I can begin relooming the harness but I'd like to get the fuse box into the trunk or at least the glovebox . Just hoping you gents have some insight on what you did/would have done differently

I like the idea of the fusebox in the trunk but that is too much wiring. Also, I feel that would pose a much larger threat if a fire were to occur. I saw earlier someone put the fusebox under the headlight, that to me sounds like the best place for it. I'm thinking about doing this if I get some time.

Sorry to bump an old thread here, but I'm trying to hide some wiring. Not looking to do an all out wire tuck, but clean things up a little. This seemed to be a great thread at one time, but unfortunately hardly any of the pictures work anymore. Anyone have any pics they can put up that might help me out? Here's some pics of where I'm at right now.
I have the wiring harness that runs along the passenger side portion of the engine bay disconnected from inside the car, and pulled out to about the headlight. So from here I'm curious what people did. I'm not trying to go too crazy here, but thinking maybe just rerouting it out one of those holes by the headlight / sidemarker. I put a couple red arrows showing the couple of places I was thinking I could run it out at, what did other people do? Then I'd probably just run it right along next to that yellow loom.

For those that have done it i want to ask a quick question. About how many wires are there and what size wires should i get? Im planning to get this done soon.
