you can relocate the ECU if you want to :thumb:
there's enough extra wire to position it somewhere different. The easiest place to mount the fuse box in under the pass side of the dash. I've also seen in the glovebox, under the air bag cover on 94-95 civics (airbag removed)

read the DIY and you'll see that you will need to :thumb:
most of the info and a ton of pics you need are in there.

I find it usefull to take pics as I did the tuck so I could look back and see how things were before I changed them so I could see how to hook everything back up.
It was a huge help. Then I had pics to share with everyone too :D
