Organizing engine bay

[Kyle McL]

So I went to a car show today and I have a idea that I seen other cars do. I am not certain if it really is possible on my turbo 420A. I seen other engine bays, cleaned up. Basically all organized and looked almost empty. i know their is a lot of relocating but I want to try to do this. Any advice? Not sure what can be removed and where to relocate things. Has anybody done this before?

Wire Tucks! They look pretty neat. I talked to my electrician, he knows how to do it but said he does not recommend it at all. If there is any electrical proble it's a hassle to take care of it.

i kinda want to do the same thing i see so many all cleaned up or with vacuum lines that are gone that i still have. Id like to clean up my bay get rid of some unnecessary things if possible.

a wire tuck isnt hard if you have the patience to go through everything. grab a diagram and have at it! Nothing cleaner than a tucked fusebox!

Tape or a way to mark each wire(very well), soldering gun, shrink tubing, powerbraid etc etc... aaaaaaand Shit tons of time. Yea, that covers it. There a re just a multitude of ways to do a wire tuck. You can spend under 200 bucks or spend 2 grand with the best of the best connectors and braid. Guy on here, kidtsi i think, sells them premade for you. Very nice,best you can get. Cost what its worth: a lot.

Besides a wire tuck some people relocate the battery, delete emissions stuff, AC, PS etc... I have seen some pretty empty looking engine bays.

It took me a full weekend to do a wiretuck. But before I did that, I cleaned up and removed vac lines, and relocated the battery. My point is, just don't try and do it all at once, depending on your knowledge, you'll just overwhelm yourself.

Grab a spare harness to build on the side... should be cheap enough used.

Just got to be patient and organized and know where to put things and it should go well!
