I'm in the process of wiring up my car and removing useless connections. I'd like to see some pics of how other FD owners routed their aftermarket ECU harnesses. Did you get rid of unused wires from the stock ECU? if so, which wires and assemblies (relays, terminals, etc) did you remove.

I plan on routing my Microtech MT8 harness through the stock location. I have the front bumper and fenders off, interior stripped and I am currently in the process of unbundling the wires.

yes I searched

thanks, Rob

 

Will post later, at work now, all pics are at home

 

sounds good, thanks

did you route the loom through a firewall gromet or through the fender?

 

through the factory spot and factory gromet.

 

I know its not an FD but I unwrapped my stock wires and spliced into them and then rewrapped them. This made the install completely stock looking. Of course I also went a bit crazy and removed any excess wiring. I wouldn't do this again because it takes a lot of time and knowledge on how to read a schematic. It took me two days to wire the microtech this way with the harness out of the car. Everyone thoguth I was crazy to do it this way but after all was done it worked the first time and everything looks stock. No pics of the install though. Good luck

 

onerg1, i'm doing the same (we are neat freaks). i'm not sure if i'm going to stck with microtech though..
