If I ever pull the engine out of the car I will be doing a full tuck.

I will pay if someone can modify my engine harness. I don't have time to do it myself.

I think the best bet is RS harness as evodan stated then just trim the tree down!

i agree. trim the RS harness and leave it alone from there. if you want that crazy tuck **** then your own. do not count on chase bays to give you what you want.

I'm like 99% sure this is from a RS.

How can you tell? It does kinda look like a thinner harness but I'm not sure.

I did an abbreviated wire tuck with my stock harness (hid the engine wires behind the intake). It only took me a day to do and that's with depining all the connectors. it turned out alright for a tuck that didn't require me cutting or running wires through the frame, and the car ran smoother afterwards (I'm attributing that to wrapping each wire separately then wrapping each sensor separately before grouping them together and wrapping, I think it cut down on signal interference). The area over the trans right where it comes out of the firewall is still a little messy for my tastes but that's a project for another time.

The main engine wire harness doesn't come out of the firewall above the trans btw. It runs along the back side of the firewall from the passenger side where it comes thru the firewall there and when it gets to the driver side it just curves outward at that point. Just a heads up.

Just shows you how abbreviated the tuck was which gives me hope for cleaning up the squirrels nest above the trans, but like I said another project for another time.

Here is all the crap I removed. The 10lbs+ in just wire. I stripped the whole car. Since I have an RS, I don't have power windows, locks, mirrors. So I could removed all that also.

Yeah but the mountain dew goes straight to your hips wiping out all weight reduction from the wires.

It will be 9 harness complete. I cant use RS harness cause I still have ABS and AC. I want cleaner look and routed neatly.
