I don't know what you mean by tucking your wires. What wires can you hide?

I'm planning on using a bulkhead connection and moving the engine harness to directly over the transmission. This will effectively limit the wires you see coming to and from the engine.

I'm further going to mount the body harness either through conduit or through the frame.

I'm planning on also eliminating a majority of the HVAC lines that are strewn throughout the engine bay. I'll also modify the cabin units to accept the connections via bulkheads.

On top of that I shall also move the engine bay fuse box somewhere else if not replace it completely withan after market fuse case.

I'm also planning on moving the coils to inside the cabin and using a passthrough bulkhead connection to power the spark plugs. Alternatively I would use direct spark ignition if I had a stand alone yet (either next semester or later this semester--we shall see).

I will also be pulling the AAS cables and tossing them since I've installed my teins.

There's a few other things I'll need to think about on how to hide/modify them, but for the most part I think that's about it. I'm debating on if I should get some new hydrolic lines constructed to replace the stock ones and run them similar to how the HVAC lines will be run.

The reason why I want to clean up the engine bay, besides asthetics, it will be remarkably easier to pull the engine in the future. I will also be able to isolate and find specific leaks quicker than before. I will also be able to have more room to work with to fit a bigger radiator and any other parts I deem necessary. Those are just a few of the reasons.

Alot of people have done partial wire tucks, but really it's something that's only been really popular over on honda techs. I've already relocated my battery so the other stuff should be similiar. The car will be down for a few months anyways while I install the turbo and what not, so I might as well clean up the bay and make it nice and pretty.

I'll just dig up my other tech thread and append the details over there.
