Evo 8 wire tuck: Part 1

I am a former Honda owner and tucked the wires to my last cars and loved the look in the bay. After looking at my Evo's bay I realized it needed one as well.

I started the daunting task of just doing the harness that ran over the valve cover that included the injectors and some other misc. sensors on and by the manifold. I removed all the clips and proceeded one by one to extend the wires. I was meticulous with the solder and heat shrink and taped everything back up real nice. I wound up running that entire harness behind the manifold and the injectors were run up from beteewen the runners of the manifold. There was a lot of "unnecassary" brackets and tid bits that were removed to make it look a bit cleaner, yet functional.

I still have to do the other side that connects to the fuse box and to the positive terminal to the battery. Lastly i'm going to relocate the power steering resevior. Enjoy. I'll keep you guys and gals posted when I decide to tackle the other harness.

Nice and clean, but more importantly why don't you mount the throttle cable on the firewall instead of the valve cover... I think that helps a lot.

There should be a bolt on the firewall straight back from where the bolt is on the valve cover... We moved it on my car and a friend's with no problems.
