Hello HT brothers

I am attempting to do a engine bay tuck on a ek.

Can someone please post and tell me if there is an article that lists the exact steps and materials that I would need to complete this project

Thanks

Hi!
https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-acura-28/shaved-tucked-customized-engine-bays-pics-theory-discussion-1693934/

I'm doing some moderate work as well. Thus far I have relocated fuse box to glove compartment'ish area around passenger foot well, and blocked that off with some sort of OEM grommet from another car (Integra?) of the same size. Also my A/C compressor blew up, so I took all the A/C lines and such out as well as condenser, and put another block-off grommet thing where the evaporator used to go in the dashboard.

My passenger headlight harness (which also controls radiator I think) goes through my passenger fender, and in through the door harness grommet. I, personally, cut mine slightly open, but there are better ways. You may even be able to jam the harness through the grommet, I was just impatient. Extension of wires is not required, but would help in order to place the fuse box somewhere nice. I prefer to not cut OEM wires just for a few extra inches though.

91610-sf4-003 is the OEM part number for a fuse box blockoff. Have you relocated your battery yet? Mine personally is in the trunk, but you could also get a small one and put it in the fender/bumper area. About 17 feet of 4 gauge (or lower, 2 gauge etc.) wire as well as some 4 gauge ring terminals to hold onto the fuse box, and some more wire for the starter and alternator and the other wire post on the fuse box. So buy 25 or so feet of wire and at least five ring terminals (10, in case some get screwed up) to relocate the battery and fuse box.

I'm doing a somewhat moderate "tuck", but feel free to private message on either H-T or AIM, or even call me, if you run into any questions regarding the stuff I listed.
