Sorry, I have not been on here in a long time. Work has had me really busy these past few months. I just finish with the install last week. I had some wiring problems after moving the computer and the fuse boxes. So it stalled me for a few months why I tried to find the problem. Hope you guys like it. I think it makes the engine bay look really good. I relocated the battery and deleted power steering manual rack also.

Thanks! It was not that hard, but it took a lot of time. I like to open the hood for no reason now. Lol With myself having little to no experience with wiring it turned out very nice.

Justin,

That is beautiful !!!!

Any chance you are going to do a write up on the process? Pretty sure I'm not the only one that would love to know where to start, what is needed and, what goes where.

I don't mind taking the time to do it, just don't have a clue on where to start.

Thanks!! I would love to do a write up, but I think the way I did it was a little backwards. At first I did the computer relocation to the inside. So I did the whole passanger side first. Extending the wires to the left side only. Then my car looked half naked...I hate half naked girls..haha! so I undressed her all the way. If I was to have to redo it all over I would just move the whole harness to the inside and extend the lights and fan wires only. This would have been a lot less wiring, and I could have ran it all from one side of the car. Don't be scared to try this. Its really not that hard just takes a little time, and its very cheap to do. Parts I think I was under $100 to relocate the computer and most of that was all the required wires needed. I ordered my wire from summitracing.com. If you guys have any questions hit me up. Also here is a pic of the nitrous I just hooked up.

I have not been on. It is a manual brake set up, I bought the kit from burkhart. If you plan to dd the car don't do it. **** can get scary if you have to brake fast.lol I had no problems with the install went in very nice.

Edit: here's a video of it finished.

Sorry to bring back and old thread but how did you use 18 awg. Im hearing that 18awg is to big for most and to small for other things like head lights and fans. So did anyone have issues with using 18awg for every thing except the head light and fans?
