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? |

Thanks guys. I think I've decided to mount it behind the drivers seats.
I can easily run a DB-9 cable from back there to my laptop. It would be nice to see the LEDs, but a laptop or palm would cover that. Plus once the system is running on its own the LEDs aren't needed on a daily basis. The do help for diagnosis though. I'm really curious to see the results from the temp tests. |
