every car i have seen with a wire tuck has the main fuse box mounted behind the glove box....GAY. does in no way make things easier. Try finding a blown fuse on the side of the road at night, ha. Having the plugs on top of the strut towers makes things easy. You would know this if you worked on more than one. Form follows function. Jason, you should know that. The only reason to do this is looks....mind as well go shave those door handles while you are at it. Sorry, but this thread pisses me off, because im the one who will have to work on all these "cars". OK, i feel better now and i know there are people that can do it well, not taking away from them, just the idea.

Looks is the only reason to do this. This makes thing a huge pain the arse to troubleshoot, etc. And when you are the one doing the trouble shooting....it sucks even more so. No agruing there Neil. Charge more if people bring you cars like this

Common, everyone does things different, And I never move the fuse box, like you said above, it makes work harder, but all other plugs will be moved. I have seen about 10 diffrent ways to do a tuck, The way I will be showing is a form and function tuck ..


Also , I would ratgher try and show someone how to do it, rather than them going off a guess. It will make our lives better in the future... Actually Neal, I would love some actual input as to things you would like to see moved around. Since you are the shizzle at harnesses as it is. I want input. and will not bash advice, this is more a advised wire tuck more than anything else. I completed more of the harness last night, going to do some more tonight, So more info will be up soon, with pics to follow Thanks for the input guys..

a form follows function wire tuck will take awhile on an EG. Since you, I believe, are starting with an EK it will be alot easier.... In fact Honda aready gave you a wire tuck. On an EG i would start with an EK engine harness(converted to obd1 ), and reroute everything while the engine is out. Engine harness pass side plug would be laced in with the rest of the wires to the ecu. Then, basically remove(one by one) all wires from pass shock tower all the way to the ECU(you will be going into the main harness, make sure you know what you are doing). Then I would pull the drivers side wires throught the firewall until they all sit under the dash. Do not delete these wires, they feed power/& gauges. You will extend/mate these wires to the BIG plug on the EK harness...somewhere under the dash near the ecu. In the end all the wires to the engine will go through the same hole on the pass firewall. To disconnect, all you would have to do is unplug the ecu/BIG plug and push the wires through(almost like the EK). All that just for a tuck......

We once had how-to's in some threads to help people customize their cars.
I'm sending this to the top for people who haven't yet seen it.-Bob
