G’day guys and girls,
Engine Fuse box removing, i’ve figure out a way that you can hide it and your wiring with out to much effort, it took me awhile to do it.. but it really it simple
Tools
1. Soildering iron
2. Soilder
3. Black electric tap
4. Heat shrink, 3mm to 6mm
5. Wire ties
6. Wire joiners
Okay First disconnect your battery... also if you ever wanted to install your battery into the rear of your car then now’s a awesome time to do so,
1. Remove your battery and the cold air intake out of your engine bay, including the battery holder/surround, and then the front right hand side light.. Also might be easy to take your front bumper off

2. Once the fuse box is removed.. and you’ve disconnected the positive feed to the fuse box take the bottom and top of the fuse box, now if you cant be bothered cutting and extending wires, you can just put the fuse box through the headlight mounting point. And let it hang there for now

5. i measured the bracket up, giving it 6mm extra on both sides so when i bend it.. it will be the right shape

6. i now bend the bracket in the vice and double check it is right and drill the holes

Good howto - but why do you want to hide your fuse box?

Good howto - but why do you want to hide your fuse box?
so your engine bay looks cleaner for car shows, :P thay like that kind of stuff

Awesome howto man!

very nice and simple job ... too bad if you blow a fuse :S it suck to change it

When I read the title I was thinking "oh no, here we go again" but mate, you have done an excellent job there.

The job you have done looks awsome and really finishes off your engine bay.

One tip, if you are patient the wiring actually comes out of the fuse box easilly in groups, they are attached to plates in the bottom of the fuse box and once the various clips are released they will come away which will make guiding the wiring loom somewhat easier as well.

doesnt happen often though, ive had my car 2 and a half years and havent blown a fuse in there, just a couple on the interior box. looks awesome, and gives the turbo its own space, makes it look bigger too, and thats ALWAYS a good thing.

top effort.... nice work and keep then comming!
