116442, Has anyone lowerd their fuse box? Posted by susafuss, Feb-25-08 08:58 AM
Well i was looking in my engine bay the other day thinking of was to clean things up. The first thing i thought was smaller battery(thats on the way), and now i am thinking why not lower the fuse box i have heard people relocating it but never doing this.So after a search here and in a couple of other sites, i figured i would post this to see if this has been done.
Now after looking at it more i noticed that the wires would need to be cut, unless there is a plug that i am missing in order to remove the fuse box:shrug
Mostly i am looking for pics/tips from anyone that has done this(if they have)
thanks, kevin

I wouldnt bother doing that imo. But if you really want to, you could probably move it down into the air box? I cleaned mine up by removing ps, ac, ps resevior and other goodies!

Ralph, If you move to megasquirt, you can remove it all together.

dude, ms does a whole lot more then just fuel. Sounds like you should read up on it a bit, may be just what you need.

Why not relocate the battery down to the entrance of the old air box? Here is a pic of my temporary set-up;

I just had to re-route some wires, but did not have to change any. I have since cleaned it up with nicer bracketry and a mini battery, but the car is on the trailer right now.

Thanks but i am well aware of what ms can do, i was just stating it is not worth(unless i ditch the pf and use the ms for everything).

I like that idea and i will look into it more, i will have my new battery here on tues and i will see if i can make it fit in that location.
