K20R EK wiring and advice?

[darkoe]

does anyone have any advice on where i should run the engine harness into the car. i'm want to conceal the harness as much as possible. also, i'm running and RBC IM and i'm having issues plugging the wires to the IAC sensor under the TB. last but no least, i'm Rcrew header and i'm trying to figure out how to run the o2 sensor into the car. the spot where the sensor sits on the second half of the header makes it impossible to bolt right up. any advice on what to do other than drilling a hole underneath the chassis? THanks in advance.

The harness should be run just like any other honda harness, run towards the battery and then through the firewall, if its the jdm harness it might have to be extended a bit since in japan the cars are rhd.....I also believe for the issue your having with the rbc here your solution. http://www.hybrid-racing.com/store/index.php/intake/karcepts-k20a-a2-a3-z1-throttle-body-to-rbc-rrb-rbb-intake-manifold-adapter.html and for the 02 sensor have you tried bolting it on to the header first and then installing header?

thanks, it is a JDM K20A but the harness fits in that direction. i will post pictures of the plug for the intake manifold. as for the o2 sensor, i have tried putting on the o2 sensor before bolting it on to the other half of the header but it seems the the angle of the sensor is causing clearance issues. its as if i have to drill a hole on on the bottom of the car so that the sensor can go through. i e-mail Rcrew in hopes of some sort of solution and reason for the angle of the sensor position.

Yea I know what your talking about in regards to the headers. For some reason the Rcrew header and a few others would angle the O2 up at the chassis. We actually damaged one before upgrading to a race header back in the day.

Best bet would be to weld on a new bung and call it day!

i think that would be the route i would have to take. where do you recommend i should relocate the sensor?

You can do it along the side. Any spot that puts it out of direct contact from road elements is idea.

i've been doing some thinking and i want to get a header that i dont have to poke holes in for the O2 Sensor. is there any other header that i can get that wont give me this problem?

[hybridracing]

The race header and the Ktuned header have a better placement for the O2 sensor so you might want to try those locations.

well i managed to get o2 sensor on the header and get the header mounted on the k. it was a very extremely tight fit. in fact, i may need to raise the car up just alittle so that i can avoid hitting. thanks

[darkoe]

huh? i dont get it.

Can you post a picture of where you have the o2 sensor bung welded?

[darkoe]

i dont know if this helps but heres a picture
