Show me your wire tucked engine bays.

[Chris Green]

I have a lot of free time at the moment as I was recently made redundant. So whilst I'm on the job hunt I want to tidy my engine bay up.

I'm going to start with wire tucking, so any useful tips would be great.

Next the polisher is coming out, will be doing the rocker cover and ITB's.

Would like to also see some starlet tucked bays!

There's already a thread somewhere with pictures

Look at my brothers yellow glanza engine bay

[Chris Green]

That looks mint Ben

Just had a gander at idrees' do you know how he did it or where the wires went?

[turbo Grant]

That red ep looks well clean with the servo on the n/s

This is mine running (ish) and all wired up, not the best pics

[Chris Green]

That looks fcking amazing! Where did you relocate the fuse boxes to?

[turbo Grant]

Under the dash board under the in the cage

Just run the wires in the wins and in throw a hole at the bottom of the bulk head

[Chris Green]

Nice, really looks well mate.

This is going to take alot more planing that what I thought.

[shorty]

The pics dont do grants car justice. You really will struggle to find a cable in that bay lol

[morgey]

Not actually wire tucked just neatened up and tied up a bit.

[Chris Green]

Looks good mate. I might just go with tidying as best as possible rather than hiding them all.

[morgey]

Best way to tidy it is rip all the tape off and pull each plug and its wiring out individually then laying it Back where you need it just neater.

With a bit more time and effort the injectors can be spun around and the wiring run under the inlet or fuel rail.

Also move the sensors off the bulkhead lower down to hide them.

With a Bit more time and effort you could make new brakelines and run them lower down so they are out of site, will also clean the bulkhead uo loads.

Man.

This would be an epic thread if someone did a how to with pics.

EPIC

Come on someone do one?

Or use a pedal box and get rid of the master cylinder and servo on the bulkhead

It's hard to do a how to, as everyone keeps different things, plus some of the wiring and plugs vary from certain years.

The best thing to do is to look at wiring diagrams to understand what you can and can't remove from the loom, then its just a case of moving everything out the way. Moving the fusebox is the main thing to clear up.

A bit dirty and needs a clean, but hey...

[Chris Green]

Only seeing this now. Looks well mate!

I've started tidying things up a bit. Cleared a few bits and pieces of the bulkhead. Tucked a few things out of sight. Hidden the Map sensor. Will post up a few photos when I have a moment.

[Dan Barnes]

I'm going to tuck my bay whilst I'm rebuilding the car will post the pictures when it's done but it's going to be a long time away lol

[Chris_GlanzaV98]

im having mine done over winter with my bay being resprayed and everything painted, im useless at wireing so ill have a few pics up on this soon enough but it will be a long process as other things to buy atm good luck with it and keep us up to date on pics

[Chris Green]

Have been cracking on with this, I'm not going to be relocating the fuse box. Too much hassle for me.

I can understand why there isn't a how to, would be a complete pain in the ass trying to take photos as you go along. Will post the end result soon.

[vizzioarts]

I had enough headaches over cable management in this PC and getting things hidden, never mind starting on an engine bay...

[Chris Green]

A lot of my time was spent scratching my head while doing this.

It is tricky and requires a bit of planing. Cant even begin to think how much time went into some of the above bays!

[Xpect]

I think easiest time to do it is while doing am engine swap. While the engine is out unplug everything (but mark it where it goes) and if possible sleeve it like in a modded PC. But not the modern single cable sleeving, rather the normal sleeve a bunch of cables that are to go together. That's what I would do or rather will do if I ever get the chance and money to really build up my car.
