eg wire tuck and fuse box relocation
I'm doing my first wire tuck on my ej1 so far I have pulled everything off the front end and pulled the heater core and blower motor out to figure out a good relocation spot for my fusebox any advice on where to put it bc I need my heater and I was thinking somewhere above the ecu is that good?

I pulled my ecu and bracket off and put the fuse box in the little hole there and have the ecu to the left kinda under where the ac condenser used to be. Check my thread in my sig, i have a few pics of it.

i put mine where the passenger air bag is. took the air bag out and unbolted it from the airbag tray. of course dont put it there if you need air bags.

Re: eg wire tuck and fuse box relocation
It depends on how accessable you want it to be, and how flexible you are. Inside the glove box is probably the most user-friendly location, or...if using a trunk-mounted battery (coupes), I've installed them in the back also. Makes for a long harness, but if doing it all from scratch, it's no big deal. It keeps the box out of sight, but still easily accessable when needed.

I plan on putting mine in the trunk or in the glove box when the time comes for my battery/fuse box relocation.

i cut a small hole in the back of the glove box to pull the wires through. it was a tight fit to plug them in but its definitely possible without cutting or splicing any wires. you will have to pull all the wires through and get as much slack as u can.

Re: eg wire tuck and fuse box relocation
you shouldnt have to extend anything if you did it right except a few wires like the horn, headlights, and i forget maybe the ac harness as well.

Re: eg wire tuck and fuse box relocation
Ok so I only need to do the headlights then bc I don't have a horn or ac so where is everyone locating the plugs for the engine harness?

everyone is routing the engine harness through the firewall under the heater core outlet and inlet pipes. here check this out https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-acura-28/shaved-tucked-customized-engine-bays-pics-theory-discussion-1693934/

Re: eg wire tuck and fuse box relocation
heres my diagram
you dont really need a distribution block, i just put one in case i needed to disconnect something. and i ran a 6 guage wire from the fuse to battery cable not an 8 like my diagram says

Re: eg wire tuck and fuse box relocation
I just started the wire tuck on my ej1 today I was going to use an oddessy battery where the pass air bag goes and wasn't sure if the fuse box would fit next to it but I kinda like the idea of putting it wher the ecu goes. Eather way keep us posted on the progress

Re: eg wire tuck and fuse box relocation
I already have done the wire rerouting now I'm doing some body work to the front core support before I further my process and I'm going to mount the fusebox where the ecu goes and take out the ac condensor so I can put my ecu there. Does anyone know where I can find these plugs for my firewall and hopefully cheap??
