I wanted to get some ideas before i started this project. How did you guys move your pcm inside the car. i have a 2001 f body camaro. Your help is appreciated and pictures would be awesome.

 

Here is the Thread I posted pictures of mine in.

I won't be the one to lie to you, it is a TON of work. In a nutshell, it involves cutting one wire on the engine bay side, putting a label on it, then using a multimeter, go inside the car and test connectivity with similar color wires. As soon as you get a beep, you put the same label on that side of the wire, and cut it. Then you repeat this prcoess literally 50-60 times. Until you have cut your PCM out. Then it is just a process of moving it inside, and then reconnecting all of your labeled wires. And you better not be using butt connectors to do this. Soldering and heat shrink is a must.

 

It's a piece of cake, mine is under the dash. I didn't have to cut, lengthen, or do anything to the wires. Simply drilled a hole in the fire wall along side of the HVAC delete plate. I'm not sure you can put it under the dash without removing the Hvac, not enough space.

 

Relocating the PCM inside the car isn't that bad if you simply want to take it and relocate it as it is. It won't look nearly as clean as you want if you don't take the time and adjust each wire to the proper length, but some people don't mind stuffing the "extra" in any nook and cranny to just shut the glove box door and call it finished. You'll be surprised at all the wires you don't really need and can eliminate.

I think 93Camaro_zzz was having flashbacks of relocating the fuse blocks from their location to inside the car. Which looks super clean, and as he stated, a TON of work. Very tedious.

 

Do you have any pics from the engine bay side?

 

Here are a couple





Wires aren't very noticeable for the most part.

 

Thanks. Man all the room is that bay is great

 

awesome guys thank you. RobsZ28, where did you hide the wires that run along the strut tower?

 

They run through the underside of the passenger fender, just like the regular wire tuck mod.
