    DIY Request: Fuse Box Relocation

    I seen a couple bay pics and some ppl had the fuse box relocated to somewhere. Does anyone have a DIY for that? I would greatly appreciate it.

    The engine bay looks too cluttered for me.

    do you mean, MOVED to like the trunk or something? or just relocated to somewhere in the engine bay?

    You can move the fuse box back into the cavity above the transmission if you have an aftermarket intake. but thats about it.

    I used to have a 90 Integra and when they relocated it they moved it inside the car behind the heater core. I thought this was the same way.

    Oh i see.

    I'm sure you could extend the writing, or kinda like how you relocate the battery to the trunk.

    You should try it, and let us know how it goes.

    Heh I just bought this thing last month. Imma get some enjoyment out of it before I create a wiring problem. But probably this fall when it gets cool enough outside so I can lay in the car for long periods of time I will do this and take plenty of pics for the write-up.

    I have yet to see a underhood fusebox that had been moved and had the wires extended, not have electrical/electronic gremlins afterwards. VERY few individuals have the proper skills and equipment to pull it off. I got pulled into repairing a tuck job one time, I have since refused to even take a look at any electrical problems if any tuck has been attempted without the owner leaving a signed check that has no $$$ amount added.

    It is just so easy to screw up, or have a bad solder joint that ends up buried. If you have the proper skills and equipment and components then it is not any more difficult than any other wiring job. And you cant expect to go to Auto-Zone and get the quality wire, solder and tools needed.


    Now you can remove the covering and tape from over the wires and rearrange them so that the fusebox can be moved within certain limits certainly. The old Injen cai had to have the fusebox moved. I have also found that the battery to fusebox harness from the RSX works as well for gaining even more freedom as it enters the fusebox from the opposite direction(what i am currently using, pic in signature).
