For those who installed a WB?

Just trying to gather some info as to where people typically route the wiring for a wide band (innovate or AEM), main wiring harness? trans tunnel? or drilling another hole through the firewall?

with my techedge, I routed the wiring through the hole for the engine wiring harness. You can slit the grommet and slip the harness through the slit in the grommet. not very fun with everything installed (vs motor and harness out of the car) but it is possible.

Btw, I love my techedge. If you search under my screenname and 'defi gauges' you will see a pic of the display installed.

Got mine up through the tunnel into the bay and through the main harness grommet. The downpipe's wrapped so I'm not too concerned about heat affecting the thing.

How did you manage that? The length of cable you get from the bung to the lc-1 is not that much to have it there or am i missing something here? i know the wires from the lc-1 to where you get your power source are longer.

If he ran the unit through the floor directly above the tranny he could get the unit under the seat. That's the only way to do that. The leads from the unit on up are really long though.

took the driver side fender off and route the cables through the driver's side footwell.

There is a blue taped wire w/ a grommet and that is where I put the cables through.

Hope this help others.
