Evo, Wires through firewall? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Where did you run your wires through the firewall, I have to run Boost Controller/Wideband/3 wires for sending units. (gauges)2 mounted on Column and 3 above the stereo. I hear some poeple make a hole? If you could post a picture I would appreciate it.

There is a hole that is plugged near the rear O2 sensor and leads into the passenger side footwell.

Check it out and see if it is going to fit your needs

That seems far^^ Its extremely hard to drill our firewalls. I had one drilled and i have soo much **** stuffed through it. If you dont want to drill:
1) take down glove box
2) you will see entire wiring harness running through firewall
3) located same spot on opposite side of the firwall (its looks like a black rubber bubble, and you can see wiring harness running through
4) GENTLY slice hold in rubber (BE SURE NOT TO CUT WIRES)
5) you then are free to run anywires through there.

I did this when i had my Apex EBC

If you do decide to drill I have one of those pyramid stepper bits if you want to borrow it

Why drill anything?

Just run through the front fender and into the door jam rubber stopper. Very easy and no drilling.

Another good idea, I will have to check if it would pinch my Boost line.

Please Explain a little more in detail. I haven't seen it

the black pad, that i guess is designed to stop fires, it hides stuff on the firewall the rs doesnt have it looks way cleaner, if you havent looked at a rs youd never see the difference

+1. I use the grommet behind the glove box whenever I need to get wires into the cabin.
