my first time wire tucking

[danield319]

So i was tired of my car looking like the damn inside of a computer with all the wires so i attempted to wire tuck.
I KNOW i did a crappy job and its not finished yet, but isnt that why friday nights where invented
so i put my harness in the upper fender well. and my over flow down below too.
i have weird zipties i know, im picking up black ones tommarow and extending some some wires.
This was my first try, il post pictures tomorrow when i actually try.
BEFORE


AFTER





tomorrow plans:
extend some wires
tie it up better
wrap it all in electrical tape
tuck the fuse box

Does your driver's fender fit on with the harness there? I had to put mine on top of the frame rail in order for the fender to bolt up again. You might also want to tuck the part towards the front of the wheel well up more, you don't want to rub through wires.

Also, the coolant reservoir needs to be the highest point of the coolant system, or else coolant won't flow back into the radiator as the car is cooling down.

I'm not trying to come off as a jerk, I'm just giving you some constructive criticism. It looks good, now just focus on cleaning up the bay itself. The area where the coolant reservoir used to be could use some work, but I think every s13 has lumps and holes in that area haha.

Let's get a full car shot while your at it!

I like the look of clean engine bays, but addl wire adds resistance and changes impedance. Some sensors operate at millvolts and are sensitive to change.

thanks, i did not know that. i learn something new everyday

and yeah the fender works fine, it didnt at first but after a few times playing with the wiring it worked fine

well the only thing that didnt fit to hook up is the MAF plug
