D series wire tuck

[XP02ED]

hey guys going to do a wire tuck i got a slight problem.

the wire which accelrates, where or if i even can, where do i tuck that? or i cant tuck it?

[JasonGilholme]

Be imaginative. It can be moved and almost made to disappear but its a hard task. ;)

[XP02ED]

thats what im trying to do

tried to move it so it goes on the sid near the window area BUT,

ithink the angle make it rev higher and like uno its like your accelerating!

all good if its hard willing to try, just trying to make that disappear, well not disappear but so it doesnt cover the rocker cover

[JasonGilholme]

I moved mine man and had the same problem with it revving up. You just need to adjust the cable and make sure that when you do put your foot down the spring can pull the cable back to 0.

[XP02ED]

ooo where you move yours too? got pics!

so get a tighter spring on the accel pad?

atm ive got it against the wall of the car which is cool, but looks chatty cos its hitting against the battery. and it just doesnt look as good as i though so looking at other ways or places

[JasonGilholme]

Nah i don't have any pics but it comes outta the firewall near the BMC and then goes down behind the Intake Manifold and then up to the throttle body.

You don't need to get a new spring or anything just adjust the nuts on the throttle cable where it connects to the braket on the intake manifold.

where to puth that

i replaced my with an edlebrock filter + stealyh system with stainless steel lines :thumbsup:

[XP02ED]

ooo

damn im using ths stock one,

being trying to figure out where to put it, the wire from filter to injector rails is to short to move around! @#$%@%

PS..

shoudl the wires bu done the the front fenders?

[JasonGilholme]

YA! Down the fenders bro!

Don't even try movin the OEM fuel filter. You really need to change the setup entirely to get it outta the way.

Don't be scared about extending wires. Just make sure you do it one at a time and you match the wire for thickness and quality(especially when doing sensor wires).

Gettin into my tuck soon ;)

[XP02ED]

yeh my plan,

first i guess ill do the wires first before i wory about anything

yeh im gna cut all the sockets of and extend the wires hide em via fenders.

im worried about the wires which go from left to right where to hide those?

[Mr. Focus]

trav (egsi) posed some tuck pics in the appearance section....not on a d, but you get the picture. looks impressive. i considered it... sat there looking into my engine bay and gave up hahahahaahaha. im not skilled in that sort of thing

[JasonGilholme]

APARENTLY! you can tuck an eg without even extending any wires but i dunno how.

I'd leave the plugs on there man. You'll get sick of soldering wires in no time. Plus if anything ever goes wrong and you need to test anything you can always pull the plug. Much easier then cuttina wire :D

[XP02ED]

yeh thats true, i think i might just leave the plugs,

i guess i got the sides covers but

the wires im worried about is :

efi system to left shock tower, where to hide this?
vtec wires ti right shock tower area.

yep im gna extend the wires for sure. just worried how im gna hide the wires which fo left to right.

im planning to make a box for the battery so thats hidden and the wires going to it will be hidden coz i cbf putting it in the boot

any suggestions for hiding the above will be helpfull!

[JasonGilholme]

Battery to the boot fo sho brov!

Its easy as. And if you do it correctly its totally street legal as well.

Theres less work in moving the battery then what there is tuckin the whole bay.

I'm not sure what wires your talkin about in particular. Chances are you'll need to un-loom them and sperate each individual loom to make life a little easier. Once thats done you'll see what you need to extend and what not.

[XP02ED]

yeh maybe later i guess but for now ill keep it there..

the wires im talking about is

when looking at an engine bay right

your EFI has wires going to the left shock tower..
WHERE SHOULD I HIDE THIS!
say VTEC wires go to right shock tower
WHERE SHOULD I HIDE THIS!

like i knoe i can hide it but i guess i want someone to tell em the best place to hide it!

all the looms have been cut out and aint tangled.

[JasonGilholme]

Ahh yeah i know the one. this is all apart of your main engine harness isn't it?

You should run these along the firewall underneath the BMC and down behind the intake manifold. Kinda messy back there but its do able.

[XP02ED]

oh yeh! kool

ok! IVE STARTER! LOL

i took out the driver fender off today.. looks like i gta drill some holes or make em bigger to fit the wires for the left side...

its late, so ill work on it tmz! wish me luck! ill try take fotos to post up a DIY

[JasonGilholme]

Good luck mate.

[egSi]

heres a tip man, take your time and think outside the box.

u can tuck a fair bit with limited extending but u cant run through the fenders without extending.

more tucked hondas coming out soon :thumbsup:

thanks mick

[XP02ED]

thanks for the advise, if you got anymore please let me know! im knew to this, learning while im going.

yeh ive been thinking about it the whole day!

ive been looking where to buy wires for extension got any idea where to buy em, tried bunnings! but they got real thick ones

[|N|]

i m a noob.. i want to do it,.. but i dunno where to start

[Mr. Focus]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
sames. im sick of looking at a messy engine bay. trav is the 'tuck' guru! can't wait to see future tucks :D

[JasonGilholme]

IMO a tuck is an on going thing that changes as you add mods. Its not like you jack the car up, do it and then rock it.

Its ever changing and growing.

[XP02ED]

aiight

ive basically finished the left shock tower,

seems like i need more wires.. and today is freakn hot! so ive stopped continue tmz..

BUT damn it looks so neat! all that i need to do now is the right shock tower and the middle part which connects most of the sensors then im done!

maybe 3 more days work! since i dont work on it the whole day! have taken fotos will post a DIY

[JasonGilholme]

Man theres plenty more after that.

AC, PS, ABS, Clutch lines, Brake lines, fuel lines, coolant lines.

you can tuck for weeks man. :thumbsup:

[XP02ED]

LOL, dont plan to do those! just the wires!

[JasonGilholme]

There'll be pics of my bay's progress to so don't worry. :P
