Alright i need some help guys. I'm a turbo 2.2 and my engine bay looks like ass. i wanna get it all clean for shows and such. i need help hiding wires somewhat and how to get this **** clean. i also have access to a power ball and polish for the drill. some pics:







also i need to find a better way to put my xm antenna its a magnet..

 

I'm a noob on turbos but I always never know what the pipes are going to and coming from lol

 

I put my Sirius antenna behind the shark fin type one. It fits there perfectly and looks great

 

I have a gps antenna like that one, hid it under the rear deck liner, works mints

 

ill have to put it there

 

really the only way you can do a wire tuck on these cars, is to unplug everything, group as much of it together as you can, and zip tie it in one big bunch. You cannot add wire like a lot of wire tuckers do because the bcm/ecu runs on voltage signals and adding/removing wire changes the resistance in the wire.

Also, good way to clean up those black wires/hoses, is tire shine. Works great.

 

I have my Sirius/XM antenna under the dash in the front. Works good unless you go under a bridge.

 

i didnt necisarly ment a full out wire tuck.. just group them?? also theres like a gritty dirt on my block/trans any suggestions

 

I will take photos today and try to show you what I did. As stated before wiretucks are difficult on this car. I used braided lining (wraps around like a sleeve) for most of the electrical harness. Also consider powdercoating a spare fuel rail. Would bring less attention to the "stocker" looking things in your bay. Tireshine is also your best friend!

 

you could take that blue wire. and put it under the charge pipe and around the back of the valve cover to get it mainly outta the way

like this
quick paint mock up



than the wires by your driver headlight you can try to feed into the current loome to hide them and can wrap electrical tape around so you dont notice the red that much


and did your car not come with XM from the factory? or did you remove it from the roof and weld up and paint the hole up?

 

didnt come with xm.. and blue is the vac lline for the BOV.. pics of this braided **** i wanna see lol

 

 

This stuff kooks legit!

Try moving it like i suggested?

 

Where do you get that stuff from

 

It can get pricy depending on how much you get. Typically $2-$3 per foot depending on size of diameter. Website is cableorganizer.com. Good up to 450*.

 

Can you tell me hoe much of what sizes you used

 

Mindrot that looks really good.

And to clean the sides of the motor from grease and stuff you can use simple green, brake cleaner, all kinds of stuff. But I use simple green. Get your motor up to operating temp then shut it off and spray on the simple green. If it's bad enough just a little scrubbin will get in looking good.

 

I used the 1/2" and 3/8" the most. I have a lot of the smaller ones that I didn't use.

 

I'm not too certain about the sizes. Its the two largest ones they offer for this specific braiding.

 

this?

That's not it. Its a wrap around sleeve. I'm on the road right now heading from Chicago. If you can't find it then I will look it up tonight.

 

yea link me when you get back man

 

Just take ur time and start re routing wires and tryin ur best to hind as much as you can. Use tire shine/armor all to clean it all up. Use some simple green or any kind of degreasor if u need/ want to clean the motor up. Use tooth brushes and small rags. Takes time but u can clean the bay up pretty good
