So I noticed that a wire tuck is rarely done on the V36. I decided to throw up pictures of my progress.

My friend helped me tucked the Left(ground and positive terminals) and Right(I believe headlights, fluid, and etc). He did it on his V35 sedan, so the DIY for it is relevant. He also said it was a bit easier on the V36 than his V35.

Next day, i decided to compound and polish the bay a little. Pictures do not do it justice at all. 3/8/13




Today 3/9/13 I got a little bit more ambitious and started working on her again at 4AM until 5AM now. I moved the 2 grounds over to the A/C line bracket. I forgot to take an updated pic, but the bracket has been moved and it is now grounded properly.





I recently got sponsored by an intake company. They needed my car to prototype for an SRI they are developing, so I will be receiving a fully polished intake. During the summer they will be releasing something similar to the Stillen Gen 3 for a very fair price.

Next thing to do is to reroute and move some of this crap until I get a fully polished tank.

 

Our engine bay wires are nicely tucked from the factory to be honest, I'd love to see you attempt it on one of these bad boys!

 

What's the name of this company that's sponsoring you?

 

Nice!

 

If there's a Gen3 alternative in the works, I'd like to keep tabs on that. Can you provide a link so we can troll along?

To the topic at hand, I like the tuck. Always love seeing that stuff. But where did you tuck the wires, and how in the world do you have enough slack to do it?

You need some hole plugs. (Lowes is fine for that stuff.) And what about the huge holes in the black trim at the back panels?

And OT, but can't help but notice the adjustable damping on your front struts. Show-off, LOL.

 

Nice work on the wire tuck. How long did it take you and did you encounter any problems?

 

Who knows! The engine is already tucked for the most part, but i'm going to try my best to make it clean.

IntakeZone, they're based in Atlanta.

Well it will be in the works during the summer. They're going to use my car to prototype the Gen 3 one. So whenever news comes up, i'll post a thread about the intake.

The Left and Right harnesses are tucked along side the fenders. not below it or in the wheel well. There will be pictures on my next post. I shined the dampening adjustments too!

Thanks! The main harnesses took 2-3 hours with the aid of my mechanic buddy. It's not difficult at all unless you're not paying attention. All you're doing is just removing the harness, all the plugs, and finding and alternate spot for it to sit. I would say it is a 4/10 difficulty.

 

New grounding point.


Before polish



This is where the ground harness goes through, in between the fender and the trim.






Positive terminal harness reroute




This is all I did today. Next move is getting some plastic caps and to polish up the A/C lines.

 

Good work so far. I come from Honda/Acura and the way you can wire tuck those motors are insane. To the point where it looks like the motor is just floating in the bay.

 

Yea Honda bays can get ridiculous. I'm just trying to make it look clean and tasteful, since it's almost near impossible for me to achieve a engine only bay look.
