Hey i know there was a thread about routing a lsx harness under the a/c box but i cant seem to find it. Anybody know which one it was or have pics of how to do it. Thanks.

 

We're you going the stock rout through the fender or did you want to drill a hole? Several threads/builds have showed it. But it's pretty easy either way. I just drilled a hole under the ac box

 

I ordered a harness from pocket for under the a/c i pulled the a/c box and it looks pretty tight down there. Just wanted to see what working for you guys.

 

seen the same thread, i remember it said to make sure you leave some space between the hole and frame rail or water can run into the car.

 

Right, I want to say I'm roughly an inch or so up off the rail. I no longer have a heater box so I just used one of the holes and opened it up to fit the harness. Right now I need to find the rubber grommet that fits the hole.

 

I lengthened all of my wires and ran it under the AC/blower box and through the fender like it was from the factory. You can not see the big bundle of wire and I think it really cleaned up that part of the wiring. I did wrap the harness where it goes near the header under the box just for safe measure but have had no issues with it.

 

Yea now that i think about it i should have ordered it for stock style mount. Anybody have any pics or their under a/c mount?

 

I made an oval hole, and trimmed it out with rubber hose split down the middle lengthwise. I did it this way on two different cars and it worked good. If I do a third car, I will be building a completely new harness and probably go through the fender opening. Which I did use for some of the harness...HVAC stuff.



I had to notch the passenger hush panel to tidy things up.



Here's how it looks standing back a bit.



The harness is a LITTLE close to the header. Thats my only beef. I havent had any wires melt, but some of the split loom got a little toasty.

Thats exactly where i was looking to route mine. I have no problem triming some stuff as i bought the car as a v6 RS roller. Thanks cruiser.

 

I did mine a little different than Ghettocruiser did. I did mine under the A/C box and there's no need to cut interior panels where I did mine. There's more information on page 6 of my swap thread. I also found a nice 2" grommet to finish it off nicely. All of the information is on my thread. See the link below if you are interested.

 

Thanks dprest68. I was looking at that spot and may end up going with it to get away from the motor and the exhaust manifold.

 

I looked into doing it where dprest68 did. In the end, I couldnt fit the harness comfortably through there, and would also have had to extend it quite a bit. I used the stock LS1 harness.

My PCM is mounted in the exact spot where the factory ECM was.

The only reason I had to cut anything inside, was the way I taped my harness up. Had I checked the fit of things before taping, I would have done it differently. I only had to notch the hush panel a little. 1" x 1-1/2" maybe? It was the end of the build and I wasnt in the mood to mess with it anymore haha.

Having done this to two cars, on the off chance there is a third, I would make some changes. 1)Ide strongly consider a harness from Pocket, lengthened if available. 2) I would def do a round hole vs oval, and get a nice Seal It grommet or something.

All options will work well though!

Better late than never. Mine is just a little higher than ghettocruiser's. 2" round hole, insulated with 3/8 fuel line. Basically anywhere in the vicinity will be fine

 

Thanks pocket. Got your harness in and everything was labeled and easy to hook up. No regrets lol, i havent been able to get the hole cut but i basically marked it where yours is. Thanks
