cje001 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I had a big build in mine old Supra, think mine came through the same way as you are suggesting, defo passenger side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djg99 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 It's a pain getting the wires past the loom but it's the best way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Personally, I'd avoid feeding any extra wires through near the loom, unless you're VERY careful about routing the new cable as not to introduce any moisture around the loom/ecu.

TTRickeh Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 All helpful there guys ill put me glasses on this time and look again!!!! so theres no need to take the offside wheel arch out to do this then no? Cheers I ran my power cable out the hole beside the battery, I took the passenger side wheel arch off, tucked it up inside a nice little plastic casing that's already there, through a yellow grommet that heads into the passenger side footwell, then under the carpet in the sill.

The Raven Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) I cut the gromit and passed it in under the carpet and ran it to the back Do you need pictures? Edited April 16, 2011 by The Raven (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I did the same, gromet above and to the left of the ecu (very hard to see from the engine bay though, so I went from inside the car first then found where it came out by removing the wing). I had to take the wing and arch off as I was using 0 gauge cable which is stupidly thick, but if you are using 4 or 8 gauge you shouldn't have a prob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Seems i was telling a massive lie! The gromit i used it on the drivers side! i did wonder why people where taking off wheel archs. Then ran it under the carpet up and under the rear seats and into the back. Simples I know my engine bay looks crap. But im not doing anything to it until the engine is out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
