s13 wire tuck+fuse & relay boxes re-location
anyone done it? im currently doing this and somewhat stuck where to mount my fuse panels & relays!!! any other ideas would be great....
my ideas: passenger floor beneath glove box inside glove box behind the deck but too little room heres some pics: http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/4103/dsc04398a.jpg heres where i re-located my ignition coil http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/1383/dsc04426e.jpg http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/3731/dsc04427z.jpg engine harness is done! http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/2366/dsc04424c.jpg battery plate is a bitch to get out! http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/4141/dsc04620l.jpg http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/6861/dsc04611w.jpg |
relocating the fuse boxes and battery make the engine bay look a hell of a lot cleaner, heres a pic of mine
http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/k...13/llll010.jpg just relocate everything under the passanger side dash behind the glovebox. |
Next time do alittle searching.... There's a post dedicated strictly to this topic...
And why didn't you just upgrade to an S14 distributor? That would've done away with the external coil and made your setup that much easier/cleaner. |
that looks good! do you have to extend the wiring harnesses for that?

i tried hiding the fuseboxes and failed miserably.
i bought a entire enginebay harness + fuseboxes because of this. i don't see where you can relocate the boxes to.. if you take the entire harness from the SMJ to the fusebox, it's literally 5-6ft long. even if you cut and solder all those connections.. it's still gonna be pretty damn long. then there's wires that split off into two different sections and crap.. it's just really annoying to do the boxes. you should just put them under the battery tray and waterproof it or something. that'd be a good location to relocate the fusebox and for the relay box, do it the same on the drivers side. |

lookin good, what is the purpose of this car? track, show, street?
|
and btw, you seem like your pretty far along, but it helps to pull the whole harness to wrap the wires, i wouldn't tr to do it while the harness is still installed.

mine is for s14 fusebox relocation... not s13... S13 has MULTIPLE fuse boxes scattered throughout the chassis. |
cool to see this. tried it on mine and failed badly.

Yea i just put my fuse box in my glove box. I messed up somewhere though cuz everything works but my tail lights... kinda bummed but i never drive on the streets nor at night so I havent fixed it yet.
|
I admire your determination!

quite interesting with the fusebox setup, but again everything on the s13 seems different. But why the 80amp fuse bridge between the two boxes?

Lol I chuckle at these threads, because most of them crash and burn. HPIPro's legit though.
When I do standalone wiring, I start with the systems I want, and work backwards - towards the fuse box, to the battery. I used a bunch of OEM wire when I did my S14, but pulled absolutely everything out first, and just put back in what I needed - much easier to check your work this way, and you get to use all the OEM connectors if you're smart. I'll be doing a standalone harness Thursday for Ernie @ DTC ("Pinky" build), I'll try and take some pics. 12 Fuses is PLENTY, btw. |
