call them up... ask for clint... he'll have pretty much anything ull need... and if he doesnt... he can get within a day or 2

im pretty anal about wiring... here's a couple more small things... its takes a lil longer to do then the generic hack job... but it looks much cleaner, u never have to worry about the connection, and everything i make at least is quick disconnect in some way or another... ill never hard-wire something so as u would have to cut it to remove it

Looks sweet. You should run the wires for the injectors from under the intake manifold. It makes it look 10 times cleaner. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

All I have done is rewire and reroute the OEM harness.
I also just got done doing this to a buddys OBD 2 accord.

Re: Rewiring entire engine bay...
 
Some of these engine bays are mad clean... I better do some catching up on my GSR's engine bay. But I do envy you guys with swapped hatches/weekend cars with a lot of the crap out of the way. On my GSR, I have a huge ABS module, brake lines and related wiring to worry about... And the power steering pump and related lines too. Those two things are impossible to get rid of and relocate if I still want ABS and PS....oh well They do contribute a lot to a clean looking engine bay.


Great job, especially kid-honda's engine bay https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

Painted a few things, removed quite a bit of things, and relocated some parts.

The Battery and Fuse block was the most challenging today. That took the most of the time.

I've been trying to hide the entire engine harness as much as possible, but it's been tough. I really think I improved the injector and intake manifold area today. I'm pleased with the results.

Next on the agenda;

* I'm currently making my own engine harness. I'm using techflex sleeving to cover all the wires.
* Remove the entire stock fuel filter and replace it with a small inline filter and stainless steel lines coming up to the stock rail.
* Remove the entire clutch lines and replace them with stainless steel lines.

First, before I show you the pictures from today. I'd like to show you what my engine bay looked like in '99 when I first swapped in the b16. Check out all the crap. lol

How did you route the stock wire harness and wiper lines?? Under the motor mounts?

Re: Rewiring entire engine bay... (Terrabomb)
 
Yea alot of wiring in going under the unibody, and soon I am going to route alot through the unibody so it will dissapear https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

For the guys with newer cars i will see if I can get some pics of the 96 accord i did and I plan on doing my 99 GSR(which is daily driven) if I can get time.

And to everybody who liked my work thanks for the compliments.

Hey, Pandahatch!

Do you happen to know what the thread pitch is on the clutch slave cylinder?

paulzy 11-22-2004 03:43 PM

Re: Rewiring entire engine bay... (VWkila)
 
the slave cylinder is 1/8" NPT

the connection on the firewall is 10mmx1.0

Cool! Thanks for the info!

I can already tell that I'm gonna have a hard time connecting a hose to the 10mmX1.0 size adopter.

Is that about -3 hose?

Hmm... I asked pandahatch through PM and he sent me this:

(2)1.0x10mm to -3AN
180 degree -3AN
straight -3AN
5ft -3AN

Which one is it?

I was wondering why panda told me two quantities for the metric fitting, did he neglect the 1/8 npt on the slave? or is it metric on the slave?

Pandahatch 11-24-2004 09:14 PM

I just went to check to make sure I wasn't retarded, it is a 1.0x10mm. Not a 1/8" NPT. It is way to big for that. Also I found my reciept and it was for (2) 1.0x10mm to 3AN Earl's adapters.

Let me ask you this then. I've even called Holley(maker of Earl's performance) about this. Earl's do not make -3 AN hose ends. but they do make -3 AN hose and -3 AN to 1.0x10mm adopter.

What did you put in the end of your hose?
