Mini wire-tuck on the evo

[scheides]

After drooling over kevin's 1G a little on friday night I decided to see what I could do to clean up the stock wire routing. I ran the wires that go across the intake manifold every which way and ended up settling on leaving about half running across the top front and all of the manifold-mounted sensors and TB wires run underneath and tucked.

The pile of little mounting clips and crap I removed:

Overall I'm kinda happy, but for this to really work I'd still need to extend:
-all 4 injector leads
-front o2 lead
-power steering lead
-ignition leads to left coil

Anyone know where I could get extension plugs/mini-harnesses to make this happen w/o cutting up my harness?

Here's a more stock-ish shot from about 2 years ago just for reference:

Just extend the wires. You'll have to either way if you want to do a semi-clean wire tuck. Make sure you do a good, clean job however you extend them. There's a lot of moving things and vibration.

When I did the Laser, I had to extend only a few wires but they were for the rf pop up motor.

Ya, see I suck at soldering so that's the thing preventing me from taking a snips to them immediately :D

Some day I'm sure I'll break down and get r done, extending this one harness alone would clean up the engine bay considerably.

Looks a tad better, mitsu doesnt like to make engine bays too pretty. Its hard to work around all the clutter.

Your air filter needs an oiling or replacement, its kinda rusty! haha

Ya don't mind the rusty filter, it'll get replaced someday :P

Get that battery in the back too, that will clean it up considerably. When I extended some of my harness, I just used extending crimpers. Just wrap them real good with electrical tape and I don't think you'll have a problem.

extending crimpers? Please explain!

Mini battery is good enough for me, no need for a move to the trunk.

I would recommend soldering. Would look a lot cleaner and be the best connection possible with no chance of coming apart under vibrations or anything.
