My Arancio Ishtar Cobra Build....lots of pics

[MeNmySN95]

I'll take some more pics of wiring today. I have to take the Intake manifold off today anyways, I need to put that water hose on that runs under it....

 

[MeNmySN95]

Here are some pics of my old Honda Prelude, that I tucked the whole Engine bay on. It had a fully-built 2.8L Stroker, 13:8 Compression, 512" Custom grind Crower cams, built trans ect ect, did 369hp N/A w/ Snow Performance Meth injection.

The holes are where the fuse Boxes used to be

It Used to look like this...

It runs

Here she is, all wired up, running.....minus the brake master and the cooling system lol. I think the wire tuck came out pretty good, actually.

Really want to know how you hid the harness!

Very cool!

^^^ this.. You mentioned it a long time ago that you were going to take pictures and you never did.

 

[MeNmySN95]

Yea, I havent posted in forever! Sorry. Literally, ALL the wires are under the intake manifold. I had to extend a shit load of them. Here is the driver side fender well though

Glad to see this thread comeback. Car looks great, love that color :rockon:

Can't wait to see what it does on the dyno!

OP if you have any more pics on how you hid all the wires I'd love to and I'm sure everyone on here would also love to see anything you have, I'm very interested on how you got rid of the ridiculous amount of wiring on these engines and you did an AMAZING job!! love the build

Ill have to take some more pics tomorrow. You have to cut the harness open, and trace wires back....for example, the coil-pack plugs, when I split the harness open, I pulled it back and put them behind the manifold (Im COP conversion). The alternator wires, I ran them under the manifold and had to cut them and extend them to the fuse box...

Wow, that looks excellent! :rockon:

 

[98 Saleen Cobra]

Damn so you had to cut and extend damn near all the wires crap it might be easier to go stand alone ahahaha.

I'd greatly appreciate that! I'm doing a COP swap along with some other things to clean up the engine bay in the spring and would love to hide as many wires as i can while I'm at it

Get ready for a shit load of CEL's lol. I have about 10 CELs that are perminant because of the wire tuck. Its all the EVAP and EGR shit. The only way to make it a 100% tucked bay is to ditch it all.

I've already done the SAI/EGR delete and got rid of the CEL's via a tune, as far as any more that might come from a wire tuck I'll just take out the CEL bulb if my tuner can't get rid of it lol

 

[COBRAGUY95]

If you took the time to hide the wiring why didn't you smooth the engine bay?

 

[MeNmySN95]

well, i didnt have time to smooth the engine bay before it went to paint, or trust me, I would have.

I tried to take out all the codes via tune, but my ECU was like...no....and gave me the finger. lol
