Help Relocating Front Fuse Block
The wiring on this car was done by Matt Garzoni at then RPM (now out of business)
All turn signals, lights etc work on the car. It was taken apart and re-wired to have the essentials including all lights and power windows/locks. It is located in the dash in their plastic holders but nicely stored for easy access for any reason.

Wow! That looks amazing! Don't a lot of the turbo guys relocate their fuses? I'm more interested in a simple way to hide the fuse blocks, than stripping all the wires I don't need. What do you turbo guys do?
. I am contemplating doing this to my current shop car. It is being built as more of a purpose Drag car then street car. However I do want it to be street legal. I still want to use the Factroy PCM and guages.
If I am gonna dump it all to re wire the car I will get a MegaSquirt system and a MSD 6010 box and call it a day. We recenttly did a FOX Mustang Coupe with a 331ci Stroker a buddy of mine owns. Ripped all the engine harness out. Re ran all the chassis harness out of sight. Wiring up a MS2 ECM and its all good. MS3 is in the beta phase now. It will run LS1 Coil On Plug ignitions too.
Sorry for the thread hijack.
BS3 just never seems to make the budget on the car for me.
Probably half the fuses and relays in the two blocks are currently not being used. I think I am going to get the harness out and start by cutting out everything that is not being used. It pisses me off I didnt have the time to do this last winter. I am going to pull the f&^%ing dash again and get the PCM and whats left of the fuse blocks in the car. Anybody know what the block with the two plugs next to the two fuse blocks is?
Thanks for all the replies, I always take pictures as I go. I may keep updating the first post with pictures to try and make it easier to keep track of for people.

So, did he go to a fuse block type of deal, or keep/relocate the stock blocks? That looks awesome. Glad to see RPM was still putting out good work until the end.

I relocated my fuse boxes side by side mounted directly to the radiator support. Looks alot cleaner. Didn't use the plastic tray that the boxes mount to stock. Boxes aren't hidden, but looks better than the stock location

Im considering doing something like this when I start on my Z28 project. Anyone ever think of running the fuse boxes under the airbag cover on the passenger side? Ive got alot of wiring experience, in fact I hate wiring not really sure why im considering it...oh well
We send alot of time rewiring .

Yep. We did the Fox Mustang I posted about. I have tuned a few. Once you get it all setup up it is easy to get tuned and making power.
Use the MSD 6010 for the ignition.
Use the MS1 or MS2 for the fuel. Remove the engine harness completly or keep the bare essintail to run the gauges.

Thats what im thinking, im going to look into keeping the factory fuse block but in a full race car how many fuses are really used? Could always use an aftermarket. Do you have any pics? That just came to mind sounds like a clean setup.
I have alot of stuff out of my car too, interior panel is about 2/3 empty, exterior one has some stuff out too.... still alot in there, but I wonder how much is just redundant at this point.
