I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Hahaha, I got it figured out around 4am this morning, after following wires since ~3pm. Time to hit the junk yards!

After seeing my buddies 93 Honda Civic thats been in his dad's garage being built for the last 1.5 years, and nearly creaming my pants and the MAJOR tuck, I promptly came home, and started to look around the bay, to see what I could do about my mess of a bay. Its no major tuck, maybe when I swap the motor, i'll do a better tuck, with removal of unused wires, re-run fuel lines, re-locate cylinders, booster delete, etc, but this will suffice for now.

I basically just relocated the engine bay harness into the cabin under the dash, engine bay fuse box relocated to under/behind the glove box (HVAC delete), GrimmSpeed ECBC mounted in same area, with vacuum lines ran through firewall to it, corner/bumper lights routed on the outside of the frame rails, behind the fenders, and HID ballasts mounted inside bumper beam, with the bulb harnesses tucked up against the bottom of the headlight ran out of the radiator support. Vacuum lines, engine wiring, etc routed through firewall, behind motor (above trans) and under intake manifold to its designated location. The GrimmSpeed AOS was the hardest thing to "clean up". This was done in 3 days, about 14 hours of work. (as much light hours as I could get during lunch breaks & after work)

Let me know what you guys think of it.


PS- I know I have no intake for my turbo, the car isn't being driven right now, as I am waiting for my Hydra harness to come back from HydraEMS, and I need to make a new intake as I am no longer running a MAF, and the stock elbow has a bad boost leak.

It will look a lot better when I get around to rotating the intake manifold and running new charge pipes :)

Thats a fucking MESS Eric, lmao. And plus, thats the GDB, they have a bigger engine bay, hence the v-mount. I barely have enough room for the OEM fan.
