TCpete

post pics cory!! im about to do this asap!!

also are you cory and aen having any difficulty with cranking up and starting? any delays

aen

im not, no delays and i moved the fuse box like cory and had no problems with that either, i put it in a box that seals almost air tight

its kinda hard to see cuz of the wire tuck, but heres what i got.

jct

so when you gonna untuck every thing

yellowxhoodie

its as untucked as its getting right now.
when the weather gets better im gonna move the fusebox somewhere else.

aen

did you just ground the wire in the front?

yellowxhoodie

iTrader: (16)

yea i believe so.

Wouldn't you want to protect the wire somehow? The main power wire of the car completely exposed running inches from the ground doesn't seem like a good idea. A well aimed rock and it's going to be ugly.

its 0 gauge wire, its already plenty protected.

not my picture, but you get the idea.

got it figured out!

thanks yellow!

i ran my power wire through the inside of the car though

i had the little clip wire from the fuse box grounded, i dont why they made that wire black.. i thought it was a ground.

thanks again all


ps... who did i attack? when was this?

no, glad u got it figured out, im curious to see what you do with your car, i loved it before (when it wasnt yours) so im hoping you make it even better.

i didnt want to run the power inside cuz the 0 gauge is so damn fat. lol

teamben158

I wouldn't feel comfortable running that outside unprotected as the sheathing on wires isn't strong at all and cuts very easily. Just from looking at the third picture, the wire is already coming in contact with metal. Over time, that wire is going to vibrate and get worn. If it finds it's way against an sharper edge, the problem you had with the fuse box is going to be nothing in comparison.

it doesnt bother me at all, its ziptied real tight everywhere down there so it shouldnt be moving to much.

you guys need a fuse within about a foot of the battery, especially if you ran the power wire under the car. you're going to end up with a car-b-q

did you connect the 0 gauge to the fusible links (if the tC has them) or did you just cut all that off and wire direct?

how about anyone who hasnt done an engine swap on their car?


anyways good luck, hopefully it doesnt "stop working again"

elaborate?
car-b-q?

1. show me a fuse that can handle the draw from the starter and ill think about it

2. there is no fuse between battery and starter solenoid.

my prev. car had the battery in the trunk from the factory and 99% sure there were no fuses between the batt and starter
