Urgent: Ebc Install Q

[_Ryan_]

Hey all

about to run down the shops for some vac line and install my EBC, the questions is where did you run your harness thru the firewall?

I found the easiest way is to drill your own hole where you want and use a grommet.

i dont think ppower tools are a good idea with your dominant arm in a cast

[kidafa]

in the drivers footwell. comes out in front right wheel arch. SEARCH mate

[wolverine]

there is a rubber grommet in the firewall at the drivers footwell.

a coathanger and tape is your friend from there.

Well the turbo is mounted on the right hand side of the engine bay. So to keep wires to a minimum in the engine bay and to avoid running the wires across the firewall or across the front of the motor follow the wires into the passenger side footwell and run the wires across the back to where you wish to mount the EBC. Don't drill a hole in the firewall, looks awful and its just downright lazy.

My turbo's on the left hand side of the engine and when I pulled the loom out of my wreck I had to remove the abs and aircond so I would be into drilling a new hole (with a new grommet of course).

All RB20/25/26 CA18 and SR20 motors have the turbos mounted on the right hand side of the engine (looking from the front of the vehicle) or passenger side if you could so call it. So unless you have a toyota motor sitting in there, all inline nissan import motors have the turbo sitting on the right hand side.

i may or maynot of chopped the front half of my inner guard out

could you elaborate or take a phone snap shot of where you mean? or suggest search keywords

[WGNC-34]

when i was installing my ebc i used the grommet shown in the pic southern tango posted,just jack up the drivers side front and remove the black plastic inner guard (four screws if memory serves) and some elbow grease,u cant miss the grommet which already has the main fuse harness running thru it in towards the steering column and firewall

[_Ryan_]

well, power is all wired up, stuck my head under it all the other day and there is no room on the drivers side at all... has anyone put theirs throught on the passenger side?

i installed my UHF with the door open and through the quater panel ..... and into the engine bay running along the rubber seal for the bonnet.

but then again that is a UHF different storey

in my old skyline i ran a Batt wire for the sub through the steering colum rubber thing ..

A rather late reply but generally left and right relates to sitting in the drivers seat - you will notice that parts that are labelled left and right ( such as lights, seats, doors )follow this convention i.e. passengers side is left, drivers side is right - thus turbo is on the left, steering column on the right etc.
