How to hide engine bay wiring / looms

[Pug Monkey 0]

Greetings Peeps,

 

I'm after some tips and tricks on how to hide the wiring loom in a 205's engine bay. Attached is a pic of what I will be running but uugh, the wiring is a mess if I leave it in the standard position.

 

Thanks for any light you can shed.

 

Regards,

Mark.

Not strictly speaking hiding the loom, but running the engine management/sensor loom through the passenger side underneath the expansion tank (on RHD cars) makes it look miles tidier on it own.

 

That's how I tend to do the wiring on GTi-6 conversions and anything aftermarket.  Has the added advantage that it keeps the loom away from the exhaust manifold on an XU engine, particularly in the case of a GTi-6 manifold that sits very close to where the original loom runs.

And run the loom under the battery tray, out of sight. Branch off for CAS, starter, sensors etc.

make a new loom from modern wiring, run it under the inlet and across fromt he left side of the vehicle as mentioned, re-route the two brown under dash plugs to near the fusebox and take the wiring through that side.

This how I got it done on my MI16,luckily I had room for GTI6 battery box. ECU is in same location where GTI6 ECU would be located,I shortened engine harness and used factory pins and connectors.
