ok so this is the next thing im gonna do to my lude. as everyone knows here how cluttered the bay is, and i havnt seen many ludes with this done

but for you that have, my buddy did it in his sir1 swapped EK hatch, and didnt really have to worry about extending anywires, but the lude has alot more. im probally gonna take off AC, cruise, and maybe powersteering, i dont want any wires except plug wires, and any other plugs that cant be moved, who has done this, and any extending wires involved?

 

i put pretty much everything on the passenger side underneath my under hood fuse box.

 

do you have any pics of the bay that you can post here, or email to me?

 

 

I've taken everything out of my 4th gen. It looks a lot better without all the wires and hoses.

Same

 

i like cruise control and powersteering way too much.

 

hah i dont drive on the highway enough for cruise, i dunno i might have to keep powersteering in this heavy *** car = P

anyways i get my liscense back on the 11th of november and the motor is being pulled for a major cleaning, and im gonna take everything out i dont need, and re run the wires and such.

4th gens are easier to tuck wires than a 5th...

 

why is that?

ive got an extra harness im using as well, its not just the engine im gonna be tucking, its everything from headlights to blinkers to fogs, to what ever else i can find. i want the suspended look

 

some dumbass was bondoing everything in his engine bay to tuck wires in the cosmetic forum when i went in there... stupid... if you can get away with doing whatever the guy who posted did, go for it..

 

im probally not gonna shave the bay. to much welding and filler work to do. and this is my daily driver so im only giving my self a week to pull the motor, and re route wires and all. a guy did this in his ek won best swap/bay 96+ civic at nopi, and he will be helping me.

 

any 4th geners got pixs off tucked wires

 

 

Nice wheels, what kind?

 

nice wheels on my car?

if so they are rota slips 16 inch in bronze, 5/114 before they started to make universal 5 lug

Well, I don't know how many times I've posted this picture, but here ya go--

 

^^^^ Mine looks more like that. Except without the battery and with powersteering. Otherwise, same idea....

i'd assume the only easy place to put it is on the other side of the firewall, in the cabin. prolly up behind the glove box.

Edelbrock 70mm. It actually uses a Ford TPS so it can be easily replaced.

Yep, right under the glove box where the passenger side kick panel would be.

really old pic.

 

Wire free

 

A big one that i noticed everyone has missed is the thick wire harness that goes over the valve cover to the alternator. I routed mine around the timing side of the motor and underneath the alternator. Also, the power wire that goes to the starter. I routed that underneath my transmission. And put the fuse box under the dash.
