For you MS guys using a relax box where did you mount the brain?
I bought the 12' unterminated relay cable from DIYautotune. I'd like to mount the box under the dash, but 12' isn't enough to reach. I mounted my relay box next to the stock relay box. I'll measure again tomorrow, but i'm pretty sure it wont make it. Where did you guys mount your MS box? I thought about mounting it in the middle of the firewall between the two seats, but I don't want to expose it to direct sunlight. I know the compnents on MS II are OK to higher temps, but I see no reason to expose it to high temps. My next idea was to mount it inbetween the seats on top of the tunnel. But I know that the when someone releases a 5 pt harness one of the belt is going to smack the unit. Any other ideas? |

I have no center console (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) The relay cable I bought has a shieled tach wire. I laid the cable out, i just don't think it will reach with the brain mounted under the dash, routed to the front, down through the tunnel to the back, out the factory harness in the middle, to the left of the engine shelf and up next to the stock relay box. i'll measure it out again though. behind the seat sounds good though. |
