cobalt wire tuck

Just wondering if anyone has done this or attempted to try it out on the LSJ? I know I've seen them on other cars and such but I was just wondering, because it would look really good completly tucked

I plan on doing a bit of cleaning up the wiring when I reinstall my motor, nothing extreme though. Some of my honda friends tuck like it's their job, no wires at all haha but our factory harness is just too dear to tear up and reconfigure.

I think that would be an extremely long process. It would look really nice but way too many wires to cut and move

Yeah something very serious would take awhile and very slow process to make sure everything is done right, but if not major id at least want to do a mild tuck cause I'm sure we can all agree, hondas might pop there hood and see rice but we pop ours and see spaghetti

Yeah between vacuum lines, coolant lines, electrical lines and fuel lines the LNF is a disaster!

Through the center of the firewall, and in the wheel wells.

Took me about 3 days to do my civic. Had to pull the dash. It's very easy to do just takes a lot of patience.

Its just to make it look alil bit neater instead of having wires all over the place, you relocate them so everything still works fine but you see none or very few wires at all. People will relocate them to the fire walls. It takes patience and time, and depending how well your knowledge is, some what of a risk cause you might have to add wire in some spots to tuck it out of site but still get it to reach to its connection point

You have to rework the engine harness. Ever hear of Chase Bays? Or Rywire?

They make these type of harnesses.

Edit: look through this

Hi BPacak. I think that's not easy as you think. It has a difficult and long process.

If I pulled my engine, definitely, and I know a source for nice thin loom too!

I did minor things, like the vac. line that runs over the blower by the TB, I took a heat gun, reformed it and ran it underneath the blower. I tucked some minor deals, and all my boost gauge line and HID wiring is hidden beyond belief, or just done right as I call it.

The same concept as Wire management when you build a PC
