Mini wire-tuck on the evo
After drooling over kevin's 1G a little on friday night I decided to see what I could do to clean up the stock wire routing. I ran the wires that go across the intake manifold every which way and ended up settling on leaving about half running across the top front and all of the manifold-mounted sensors and TB wires run underneath and tucked.
The pile of little mounting clips and crap I removed:
Overall I'm kinda happy, but for this to really work I'd still need to extend:
-all 4 injector leads
-front o2 lead
-power steering lead
-ignition leads to left coil
Anyone know where I could get extension plugs/mini-harnesses to make this happen w/o cutting up my harness?
Here's a more stock-ish shot from about 2 years ago just for reference:

I am actually in process of doing this now. Granted my motor is out of the car, but I redid the ENTIRE harness, ie. exposing all the wires, and re-wrapping the entire harness. I have already extended the injector leads, the MAF wires, and a bunch of ther wires. I left all the leads that break out of the wiring harness free so that when i put it back together, I can route each one the way I choose, and once I am happy, wrap it again so it looks like it's OEM. I am also taking pictures of the entire process of my build so that I can do my own engine build thread, along with having pictures of the things like the wire tuck, all the new brackets and what not I am building as well.

did you wire tuck your spark plug cover? haha
Please show how you did your throttle cable.. I want to do this..
Also you might wanna look into getting the injector wires ran from under the intake manifold.
Looking good.

Can't run the injector wires and everything else I listed above w/o extending the wires, they come up about 8" short.
Yes, been that way since I got it, the car is tuned for it and it's worked perfectly as it is. I like it run this way better than the 'correct way' anyways, just fits better IMHO.
