    hi, i installed fuel injection, and a transmisison controll.
    my engine cavity is getting pretty cluttered. now, i have 3 relays, and fuses, and everything is requiring running to battery. how do people clean up there engine cavitys, any good ways of hiding relays and stuff like that ?

    thanks

    I made a buss to feed relays and circuit breakers and stuck the assembly down beside the battery. Intended to coat the buss with some insulation but never did. I was careful NOT to drop a wrench between the battery and the apron. :yikes: Also removed the ground cable before messing with the battery hold down bolts.

    That's nice & a good idea but you should pull it off and cut some double walled heat shrink and cover the bare areas. Just to be safe :)

    And my engine bay is a mess of wires also so I can't really throw ideas in on it, was looking at it today thinking what a mess it was & maybe to put the msd box inside my car.

    ya, my issue, the following in my engine bay. fast ecu, msd ignition, remote coil. stereo power wiring, fan relay, fuel pump relay, accessory relay, hid ballast wiring. etc... get the car running first I guess, and I can take time later to clean up.
