420A: Wire tuck & fuse box relocation

[Spaz5spd]

Just finished up wire tucking and relocating fuse box.

Just waiting in new headlights

[scottyhops]

wow thats good, where did you put everything?

[WES_393]

Looks really clean! But it could definitely benefit from some new white paint and a different color scheme. Just a thought.

[SmoochDarling]

Wire tuck good. Paint baaad.

Still organizing harness in vehicle but the fuse box is in the glove box. Ran all o2 pigtail through passenger fender, along with starter signal, and temp sensor.

And the color scheme is white and blue. The header is just wrapped yellow for now to be different.

I say pull the motor, cleaner her up with your color choice, clean and repaint the engine bay, and then do a clean turbo install :-)

Thats the target for next season. This going to be first season driving her after 1+ year of bullshyt. The valve cover is getting repainted when I upgrade to the 2.4 rocker and lifters.

Yea sure boss.

All it took was $6 soldering pen and solder from autozone.

[Josh97eclipse]

Sweet, I just dont know how to extend the wires, like where to route them and all that good stuff

[Spaz5spd]

Still organizing wires interior. Just need to bundle, tape, and tie and install carpet again!

[Spaz5spd]

It takes a bit to do but well worth the empty bay.

:Lift fuse box
: mark wires that run in from driver fender
: cut wires and feed through grommet into car.

NOTE: there are 2 wires you will have to solder to headlight harness and run into vehicle. They aren't long enough.

For harness:

:Unbolt tie downs along fire wall
:Unplug all connections
: passenger side of vehicle behind alternator has a grommet- cut off
: feed entire harness through opening
: run o2 & coolant harness through passenger fender

NOTE: Remove all stock conduit, twist wires and retape and conduit...reduces size dramatically and easier to run:thumbup:

[scottyhops]

where did you mount your pcm?

Oh, thats yellow wrap... at first glance I thought it was just rusty

[jpmxrider489]

Ya I thaught it was a rusty manifold. But it could use new wrap. Very nice on the tuck.

[Josh97eclipse]

This is most of out in a nutshell

[Josh97eclipse]

Okay I never thought of that. I sort want it in detail so I know how to actually do it right. Need to know how to get all the wires running where they should be so you cant see any, what kind of wire you used to extend them, what wires you had to extend where you put the fuse box and the ecu. I need to know just all the general things. Oh and how you did all the wires under the dash if you had to remove the dash or not.

[Spaz5spd]

Honestly all my wire I needed came from deleting wiring for condensor fan. Everything else was much long enough. Only wires needing additional wire was red wiring for headlight harness, green wiring for side marker/ turn signal, and the brake res harness wiper motor harness.

I'm still tidying up wires on inside

[Josh97eclipse]

Sweet I will be trying this soon when I can afford the down time
