Another Wire Tuck

[Dreadknought]

Took the car to my buddies house Wednesday afternoon thinking I was a badass and was gonna knock this mother out in a late night. Saturday morning at 530 am I finally buttoned it all up and she fired on the first try. Pretty easy stuff but rather time consuming.

Heres what I started with. Already had a semi tuck going on either side.

Fuse box and PCM removed.

These connections were mercifully easy to work with.

It was much easier to get under the dash with the seat out.

Got the PCM mount mocked up, drilled, and bolted on.

The headlight harness. Had to add about 3 feet of length to this thing.

That looks so fkn clean. I would pay to have this done. great job, man.

And here is the finished result.

How did you do the "Semi Tuck"?

 

[Dreadknought]

I pulled the intake off and pulled the loom off the drivers side and fed the injector and COP wires through the intake, and routed the rest of the wires in more "hidden" routes.
The passenger side was not quite so maleable, but I was able to make it look clean anyway. Check this out for a little better idea of what I did, http://www.s197forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=52492&page=2

Damn, I just realised that I don't have any finished pictures. I'll fix that tomorrow.

yo that has to be 1 of the best tucks on a 197. great job. to bad u live in texas, i would for sure pay u to do mine

 

[Dreadknought]

Yeah that is too bad, I could use the money lol.

 

[NotQuik]

Besides the headlight harness, did you have to do much cutting and/or extending?

How did you do the "Semi Tuck"?

I've been known to tuck the semi here and there as well

Nice job on the wiring man that's serious!

 

[Ingwe]

Wow. that's seriously impressive. I'd love to have the patience and skills to do that. So most of the loom is just tucked into the valley underneath the intake? Wouldn't it get pretty hot in there?

 

[UltraKla$$ic]

My car would never run again if I tried that!!! Looks great!!!

Do all of the wires just lay under the intake like that when finished?

Not being critical, but I don't like what you did with the coolant tank in the battery's old location. To me it would look much better in it's original location. Again, not being a prick but I don't like that long hose running along the top of the fender well especially after you've done a fabulous job on the wire tuck.

 

[Swarzkopf]

Wow. Looks amazing. Very clean now.

My car would never run again if I tried that!!!

Exactly! I would never try this. LOL

 

[b00stedgt]

I wish I had the guts to try this. Impressive!

 

[red_baron06]

Looks good man. I will just deal with my wires lol.

I'm glad someone got it. I was interested but was thought it was funny too.

Thanks, I'll check it out. I'm really interested in doing something similar. I'm not interested in moving the fuse box or PCM. I keep looking at it but can't get myself to just start tearing into it. It's a little daunting when you look at it. I guess the hardest part is just tearing into it..

SOmeone in Cali needs to be pro at this ! Id glady drive ANYWERE in cali for it and pay well !! Really really dont want to try and tackel this when im home ! Looks amazing man !!!

 

[Mike K]

Well it seems if you want a road trip to TX he will do it for ya.


So how many wires did you have to lengthen?

 

[Dread53]

Very nice work! The Saleen side skirts make pulling the fender a 'not on my watch' kind of deal.
