this thread is taking off more than I expected...thanks for everyone who replied

 

We definitely need a nice write up on this..

 

I would love for someone to do a full write up that would be amazing

 

This sounds like a pretty good idea.. I may do a small tuck one of these days..

 

I am actually thinking about doing this around summer time. I am also considering the use of OE style harness plugs and making the engine harness removable with the engine without having to unplug everything. Would make engine removal an easy affair, not to mention the ability to rebundle the harness in the cleanest way possible. Actually have some Subaru Engine/Body harness connectors I am thinking about using.

 

Deutsch electrical connectors are your friend. I use those on everything from my car, my truck, equipment at work... by far the best all weather connections avaliable. They are expensive for the pins, crimping tools and connector housings but worth every penny. I wish I had taken pics of my tuck, I was talking to chaotichoax about it when I was in the process. Everything officially works as I just started the car and used everything a few days ago, but it was a major PITA

 

evooob, could you post the link you purchased your connectors and accessories from?

glad to hear it is running and all working!

 

its going to take alot of time and patience mostly but its well worth it in the end carefull with just adding wire some wires may be shielded i havent started on my evo yet but i have did a few hondas

 

Just started my tuck. will post pics of what i have done so far. Its my daily driver so will take some time and figure everything out.
So far i have Tucked Injectors,Cam Sensor. Will have to extend wires for #1 Coil Pack. And will tuck FuesBox inside fender.

 

please post pictures

thanks

 

BEFORE


AFTER Mini-Tuck

Difficulty Level:: 2 of 10
Took about 30-45min. During this time i also cleaned injectors. I kept injectors connected to the harness also.

 

update more pics

 

i did my mini tuck about 3 weeks ago around the manifold/ tb area.. it was while i was installing the 2 pieces.. only wires i really had to ADD to were the 4 injectors wires (2 wires each injector) map harness (3wires) and the coil (3 wires) everything else was tucked under the manifold nicely and out of the way from any visible parts and hot surfaces. also went ahead and did the EGR delete and got rid of 50% of that mess back there. gonna work my way around to the fuse box and on top of tranny area eventually.. ill take pics of what i have so far nothing special but looks alot cleaner than BEFORE

 

pics would be great!

 

The real key to a clean bay is getting the Evo RS brake system ( non ABS ). I plan on doing this in the summer time.

I was gonna re locate my battery to the trunk, but that open space looks odd in the Evo bay.
