Decided to tuck my engine bay, put the battery in the trunk, do a new intake pipe which completely eliminates the PTC, and adding a second catch can and completely venting to atmosphere (and before you think about telling me "hey, you know if you vent to atmosphere it's going to stink?".....don't.)

The main harnesses have been moved into the fenders, relays in the fender, headlight harness in the fender, old TCU plug, cruise control plug, BCS, and some other stuff sitting in the fender.

The battery was relocated using one main distribution block for the power lead, that splits to the lead going to the starter and one going to a second fused block which splits power up for the accessory power leads. Removed the ground strip behind the headlight for a ground block. There is also a 250ANL fuse inline for the main power lead.

Pictures:





comes out by the alternator













still need to finish the battery



Also need to finish the catch can stuff. But the car does start, just fired it up and it started right away. Was really excited. Just need to clean things up, will post more pics when I'm done.

 

Yeah, yeah...I know. Old thread. Cope.

I'm curious how it worked out. I've also been thinking about cleaning up my engine compartment, including moving the battery.
