Mild Wire Tuck
After much debating whether a mild wire tuck was in schedule for this lil beast, finally decided to tackle it. Since this is an SE there is quite a bit more wiring than when we did the LX.
Things that were removed/eliminated:
- Cruise Control ( 1 - Its not my DD so when I drive I want manual override of everything, 2 - That's where I want to run my turbo filter, 3 - I'm looking at replacing the stock steering wheel for a NRG)
- Power Steering ( 1 - Although I've had it since my initial swap of over 5 years, truth be told it was never hooked up via a belt and was just dead weight at this point, 2 - NON power steering will be better to control at high speeds or with lots of tq steer
, 3 - That's where the turbochargers cold side/filter will be)
- Charcoal Canister ( 1 - I'm not worried bout losing 1-2mpg, 2 - I need the space for a vertical oil catch can setup)
Since I'm not 100% done with this project I will be posting random pictures of the progress, along with other lil projects that are needed to be done
Haven't messed with it in months, starting to oxidize.
Really nice clear coat of dust!
My daughter helping out
Yanking out the power steering lines
I ran my wires through the water drainage opening. I'm not worried about water messing up my wires as its waterproof and we get 1" of rain a year
Using 1" wire loom for thicker clusters
Since I do Architectural Sheet Metal for living, I utilized my skills to fabricate this bracket for a cool "floating" resistor box effect. Really liked the way it turned out and it hides the wires going through firewall.
Next to go was the charcoal canister. I will be using this area for a nice proper vertical oil catch can setup.
Very important to re use the red hose for this, insert one end at the bottom and gently clamp it (I didn't have one in size thats why mine isnt on)
The other end will hook up to this fuel line return
Ran out of wire and few other things so took a quick trip to NAPA!
Next is extending the ABS motor wires, ect...
Wires extended! getting closer to finishing
Since my Nitrous feed line runs through the passenger fender it was good time to remove it while I'm here. Wont be needing it with the new setup
