Figured I would make this thread to give some people ideas on doing this since I haven't really seen it done like this before. I'm starting at the beginning and working my way to where I am now so people can see what's involved.

It started off as a battery relocation, then a minor tuck, and then my engine blew so I'm doing a full tuck now both fuse boxes, body harness and engine harness.


Here's the battery relocation


Parts



Battery and amp wiring





Done




Now onto the harness...


Well my main goal was to move the whole fuse box/relays in a spot where it was still easily accessible and did not involve a lot of cutting and rewiring. My first choice was under the dash but that seemed like a big project and I have more important things to do on my car. The way I figured out is still easy to get to and is not a massive job compared to putting it under the dash.

First I had to separate the fuse box wires from the rest of the harness. This isn't as easy as it looks, it took me over a hour to just untangle the mess of wires the factory did. Lots of wires are wrapped around other bundles of wire and they need to be cut to separate the bundles.

(don't mind the rust battery tray it's in the process of being removed)

The wires that need to be seperated, these run from the main harness on the driver side, under the rad support, and through the body where the battery goes. These will be tucked under the rad support and possibly through the outside so there are no wires in the engine bay over there.


The split



The unnecessary amount of wire running to the fuse box. With where I'm putting it I'm going to be able to remove over a foot of wiring from this section, it just depends if I want to do that much soldering lol


This whole loop section can be removed


Where the fuse box will be. It will sit alittle low that way I can put a cooling panel over it and it will be hidden


Also going to be tucking my lower harness which I haven't spent much time on yet


Then

This whole section from my hand forward can/will be removed.


I also started on the lower harness.

The wires that run to the trans


Alternator wires and oil pressure sensor


Water temp(lower rad hose) and resistor(?) plugs


Plugs that run to the fuse box



The quick fuse box mount lol, I might just throw the cover on and re ziptie it up there, it makes changing fuses or relays easier haha


The lower harness, next it's going to be wrapped.
