Wire Tuck

LaidNeon · Post by **LaidNeon** » Tue Jun 13, 2006 2:02 am

I don't think i have ever started a thread or replied in a thread in the Engine Section, so i thought i'ld made it a good one.

Im looking for a How-To / Pics of a wire tuck job on a 2gn neon. I can't find pics of one anywhere, but i can find V8 & hondas with it done all day long. For you noobs, this is what im talking about

I love that look, & i plan on doing mine very soon, but need a lil more info on it before i attempt it. If it was anything else, you guys know i would dive right in. But since it deals with wirering & me being color blind, i thought i'ld ask a few questions first.

The Questions:

1) i know you have to extend the wires, but where do you run/hide them?

2) Any pics of a 2gn neon with it done?

i have always seen hondas with that done. but never neons. seems like it would be harder to do in a neon

That looks so nice...I have always wanted to do that w/ my neon, but I knew Id never have the resources or time

Good luck if you do it, dan...and take pics and let us know how to do it. Maybe one day I will try.

Check out VwVortex Dan, under the Golf/Jetta II forums, alot of the guys there hide their power wires. Most of them run them inside the inner fenders, behind the firewall and inside the frame rails. They like the smooth bay look, so alot of the guys over there have done it. Good luck, and find a NON-colour blind person to help you

Man thats clean looking. ^^ I noticed the individual TB's as well. Are they only good for upper RPMs?

I imagine it could be done by tucking the wires into the fram rails ont he sides of the engine or through the bumper support but aren't Hondas PCM under their seats or somewhere else in the passenger compartment? I'd bet that helps them out a lot more since majority of the hookups would be made inside the car where ours are all made under the hood.

i wanted to relocated the PCM anyways, i don't like it on the backside of the radiator. when i get the new motor & stuff i'll look in to doing this more
