Default b16 wiring questions

I bought this crx with the b16 swap already in it, I was just wondering, since the bay looks so cluttered, if there are supposed to be two fans on the radiator, and if u look at the below pick, if the clutch cable is supposed to go over the fuel injectors and down to the tranny, its a terrible mess. and any other ideas of cleaning it up a bit, like moving the fuse box please help me do so, I want the fuse box out of the bay.

If you dont have any cooling problems 1 radiator fan will work fine. I've run my CRX this way for years. I dont believe there is enough clearance to squeeze another fan between the exhaust manifold and the radiator anyways.

The clutch cable looks fine. I supposed you could re-route it however you want, just make sure there are no kinks or sharp bends in it.

You can put the fuse box wherever you want. I doubt anyone on here will give you advice. It's not popular to do so, nor is it really practical. Keep it some place accessible. Just extend ALL of the wires to reach the box wherever you put it.

yea I'll do that, but I actually have a second really slim fan in front of the exhaust manifold. if I remove it, how would I do so? do I just cut the wires off of it, its also wired seperately from my bigger fan. what guage wire do I use if I extend the fuse box?

get a rad out of a EG or a neon, they are half the size and will bolt in with little work.

If you've currently got 2 fans (couldnt really tell by the picture) then just leave them in. If you want to remove one, then there is a connector on the fan somewhere. Find the wires and trace them, should be within about 6" of the fan, and you'll find a connector plug. Then it should just be a couple of 10mm bolts.

If you really want to move your fuse box, use the same gauge wires that currently go to it. Probably about 18g-22g, though some are bigger.

the fan on the driver side u can take out because that works for da AC and if you deside to move the fuse box most people move it to where the ecu is in other words inside by the passengers side but if you move it there you have to get someone to do the wireing because u have to cut them so u wont make a big hole in the firewall when you pass the cables you have to get someone because you have to solder and insulate the wires just connecting them with connecters will later on *** up your wires which can cause it to create short circuits and possibly catch ur car on fire
