Gotcha.

I wonder if I'll have enough room for doing that. I'm still running the HVAC stuff and will actually be re-routing the lines to free up some space for the turbo and make it a little more aestheically pleasing. I'm not too sure of how much room I'll have just behind the dash over the backbone, but I imagine it might barely fit with out problem. I can always check I suppose.

Is there any problems with running conduit for the driverside harness? I think that might provide for a clean install as well... I'm not too sure though, I'll have to think about how I want to get the wires to the sensors and what not.

Anyone want to show me how the driverside harness is hooked up/run on their wire tucks? I'm not sure I like the thought of having sensor wires branch out away from the engine to make the connections. I may have to seperate the harness so that the sensors are all contained on one bulkhead connection and then the body harnness can be run through the conduit. Good plan?

Here's mine. I ran the headlight and such wires through the fender. Still planning on tucking alot of metal hardlines and vacuum hoses. I believe from most view points the coil wiring is the only visible wiring though.

Sorry, it was too bright outside. Also my bay was dirty. I'll clean it up and wait for some better lighting.

I'll have to get pics of the engine bay once I get my uim back on . I've done a complete chassis harness tuck and engine bay . Still need to run the wires for the wipers . I pulled the whole front chassis harness and tucked it behind the dash since I have nothing back there anymore . And ran the wires needed for lights,etc through the fenders . Engine harness (haltech e6k) is run through one of the ac/heater core holes behind the intake . It's amazing what a tuck and battery relocate can do for a engine bay . Here's a pic of the battery and fuse block behind the drivers seat

Whatever you do don't relocate your battery inside the car. Most of car batteries vent gasses and leak acid over time unless you get a sealed battery or a purpose built container. In my civic I will be using a sealed odyssey battery, half the size and weight.

And what's with all the Honda hate? I love my rx-7's but I love my mpg's as well
