oh shit thats a really nice engine bay , this is the first time i see a wire tuck on a eclipse... is there a thread on how to do this??? i would love to have a clean engine bay.. oh thnks 4 the pic RSTARE...

No, there is no "how to" thread that I'm aware of.
The owner of the above car is using MegaSquirt as a complete standalone EMS, so it's not possible without some extreme modification.
He even relocated things such as the coolant resivour and the fuse box (which would be quite a task, I assume). He also has the power steering and A/C removed.
Quite a few of the things that are used inconjuntion with the stock ECU are no longer used when MSnS is setup for a complete standalone. So, they as well can be removed.

Most people that do 'wire tucks' hack their stock harnesses, they don't relize how important proper engine wiring is, this is a EFI system, not a carb'ed engine. Keep the stock harness, don't hack it up, or extend this, shorten that.. I wouldn't do anything other then a proper custom milspec harness.

^^ What slowgsr said... I totally agree with him.

you should subscribe to my thread... dont be scared to push the limits of your ability, i feel true advancment by doing so. and also.. im sure if the harness doesnt work after u can always find another stock one somewhere...

You don't need to hack your engine wire harness apart to do a good wire tuck. If you do it combined with eliminating your emissions stuff, it's pretty easy. I've done two of them. All it involves is moving things around to be hidden, I didn't cut any wires. It just takes some time and patience.

It doubles as a engine bay light activator

Let's see I think Zac (slo2g (?)) on here has done one. And there are others who have.

Imo, its nutso, retard strength patience to do something like this. I just ain't got it

Still working on it Mark, trying to get the expendable income to order up the the aviation connectors, I have a LOAD of TXL wire that I'm using for the engine harness(MS) and its what I also used to extend the fuse box, I think I'm around 300 bucks just in wire. I'll snap a pic of it tomorrow night to show current progress...

 

[Slo2gen]

Ok, said pictures....and remember, I'm still in progress on it. Going to test it all tomorrow sometime. Then I can start on the actual engine harness, the engine harness will be able to be tucked and hidden by the motor and what not. Then I get to pull the motor out and get it prepped and put together. During that time I'm going to "shave" hopefully the engine bay and remove the rear heat/sound barrier on the firewall and weld up some holes and what not. Then comes paint, anywho here are some pictures....

Also rerouted the LONG ASS clutch line(kit from STM) since I had so much line and ran it through the frame, I will cover it to prevent chaffing with some vac line or something and hide it as much as possible too.
