M3 firewall harness/cover re:m20 diagnostic port and relays

[iwantspeed]

me too matt, me too ...

get to work

For my m20 I had to hack appart my harness but i got it to fit. I left the diagnostic where it was though. Stock booster is just too much in the way. When i go vems i will make it really pretty

it will fit, its a little tight area to work in.

I have the 4 piece set too, waiting for summer. Planning on just getting rid of the diagnostic port because racecar.

because race car.

I want to move the relays AND diagnostic port in to the harness bracket.

Zeke, the booster is most definitely not in the way. The 318iS came with the exhaust same booster from the factory and its diagnostic port is in the harness bracket.

yes^

Still need to do mine! I've had the covers forever.

old setup,
moved the diagnostic connector to the firewall so this bracket is used only for the crank position sensor and the impulse sensor wire.


cut the bracket and mounted it near the dipstick out of plane sight

how long did it take you to install the whole cover and relocate everything?

it is now....didn't realise the bracket would still fit!!

nice

why not put the C101 port where it belongs inside the harness cover and use the proper location for the OBD port (where you have the C101)?

You can just cut the sheath and add/remove wire length to put stuff where ever you want it. Here's a picture of my S50 and relocated diagnostic port. I did all the wiring myself....and the main relays are under the wiring cover.

even though its not an M20, gives you an idea what it looks like. I used the bracket that was already there.

here's my M20 with the M3 harness cover:



I'm not using an M20 harness though.

yeah, I don't get why you guys are putting the C101 where the OBD port goes. There's a place for it right inside the cover, exactly where it was mounted before

Late reply but yes, I need to clean up my wiring!

[rlddlr53]

I was able to fit all my wiring and connector within the cover

How do you like the kamotors intake Janderson?
