    took me a bit to figure out what you meant by "deloom look". English is such a bastardized language!

    Lots of times it's called "wire tucking" and can involve soldering/lengthening the wires in the engine harness so you can route them out of sight for a "cleaner" looking engine bay.

    There's lots of ways to do it, it just depends on what you're comfortable with. I highly recommend paying close attention to where heat, oil, and moving parts can damage wiring if not protected properly.

    good luck!

      When it comes to this sort of thing go online and start reading, a lot! It all depends on how much you want gone/moved and how clean you want the engine bay to look. I know of people hiding everything so you literally only see 4 spark-plug wires and filling all the unused holes in the engine bay, it's ridiculously cool looking. So just depending on the skill, knowledge and will you have will determine the outcome. But goodluck with it, some members here have done it and maybe they'll chime in with some pictures, or you could simply search for wire tucking here.

              From the look of it, i see that this is going to be a time consuming project ahead of me. What was the down time on such a project CaymenEGT91?

                  mine personally took about an hour.. no cutting of any wires. Honestly just rerouted the harness.its all basically under the intake manifold.

                        dont cut any wires. just remove all the electrical tape, and wire loom. then re-run the lengths of wire out of sight under the intake manifold, and so on. run the injector plugs up between the intake runner's.

                        just take your time to figure out what needs to go where. once you have that figured out. re-wrap all the wiring so it's not all hanging loose and crappy looking. lol. i just re-use the stock wiring loom.

                        take a look at Piles mx3 project thread. his is one of the best ive seen done. he even went as far to relocate his fuse box under his headlight out of sight. lol

                          My chassis harness and fuse box is sitting under the megasquirt and megasquirt is sitting under the radio. I have a completly seperate engine harness from the chassis harness.
