LMAO have fun they're HUGE!
(I ran 2 x Dis 4's for awhile)

 

[daledoe]

I mounted my DIS-4 in the glove box.
It was not recommended, so I traced a grid on the box and drilled ventilation holes. Then attach 12v fans, and you'll be fine.

 

[daledoe]

Thats what I was thinking of doing but I wonted to do something different then everyone else, You know

 

[MK3Brent]

There are no GOOD locations under the hood for one.
If you relocate the battery, then maybe.

 

[daledoe]

I'm relocate the battery so it mite go there. I just wont to put it out of site.

Well, after several emails and phone talk with their thech guys, they recommended inside the car to keep it cool. NOT under the hood.

I was able to easily place it under the dash, at the firewall, above the clutch pedal area.

I love where mine is mounted. It's like its not even there. I run a JDM left side seat though.

 

[daledoe]

Thats a mint place to put it. I think I will do that but I wonder if it will work with most after market seats???

ive been thinking about this as well. how about under the front bumper somewhere? like by a tow hook?

Lagged: The board is encapsulated in epoxy so in theory it should be ok there but I'd still be concerned about drowning it.

I looked at under the seat but as I had 2 units to mount space and RF interference were a bit of a concern.

My "size" comment was only that if it was made in Japan it would be 1/3 the size

Realy, That mush smaller!!!!

Dale: Yep there's lots of "Old Tech" in the MSD boxes and could be made much more compact with modern electronics!
(If anyone is interested I have a brand new unused Dis4 in a box here)

 

[daledoe]

I bayed $100 for that ignition!!! can;t bet that.
