1G Moving fuse box without cutting wires?

[Boosted DSM 32]

I'm relocating my battery to the back of my car and I'm wondering if there is anywhere I can move the fuse box without having to cut and lengthen any wires? I've heard you can move the box under where the battery used to be once you move it and it can be mounted underneath that without cutting any wires besides the ones for the headlights? Any input would be appreciated.

On a 1g you read you can do that. Or 2g.

I had to cut mine that's the whole point of me moving it into the car itself 2gs ive seen it but not on any 1g.

So there's not anywhere I could move it just to make it less visible without having to cut all the wires and lengthen them?

Not that I aware of ive done it, had to lengthen wires.

Do you need to lengthen all of them or just a few? If there's somewhere I can move it with just lengthening a wires I would do that

Not that I know of.

I just moved mine last night up to where the battery was, I don't know if you can on a 1g since mine is a 2.

You take off the white wire holder that's over by the alternator (in front driver wheel well) and it frees up about 8" of the main harness. The bigger pain is rerouting all the plugs, and I had to take all my intercooler piping out and intake.

Do you have any pictures of your tuck? I'd like to check if out and as the guy said above it doesn't look like your able to do the same on a 1g

I could be wrong but all 1gs ive seen they had to cut the wires, I didn't see a way around that.

I won't be able to get pictures till later, I have it pretty much half way done, still need to make my battery tray and mount it on the subframe, then the fuse box will be above the battery so you can still access them. I'm doing it because I need space for a dual catch can setup, I figured the fuse box area would be best

Here are a couple pictures, keep in mind this isn't done and I will be taking all the connectors off the loom that aren't used anymore, so it should just look like one loom of wiring going to the box. I also think I figured out how I will mount the front of the box, not sure about a support for the back, but ill get it figured out... anyways here they are

Factory box mount for the front of the box

Looks like it fits perfectly on these bolt holes! One mount down, fab the other.

Hopefully this helps someone out even though it doesn't apply to the 1g platform you were asking abou
