sims76 Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 This is for the MSnS turbo project I'm working on... To aviod running wires all the way into the cockpit, I mounted the MSD box and HEI module right above it on the fender. I did mount the HEI to a heat sink that also serves as the ground. Opinons? Will the heat from the turbo cook these? I also made a simple heat sheild out of sheet metal to protect the brake master and the terminal strip that I mounted there. The turbo should be shipped tomorrow. I know I said I would be finished in two weeks about two months ago, but this time I mean it. Thanks guys, Sims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evildky Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 I'd move the msd box, it get's pretty warm around there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bastaad525 Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 agreed, move the box... I put my MSD box against the driver side fender wall but back under the 'battery inspection cover' (except no battery on the drivers side of course!), near the brake and clutch cylinders. My wiring runs right near the turbo to get to the coil.. so far no problems there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyro Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 A turbo blanket and exhaust insolation wrapped on down pipe would help reduce heat. But seems to me there would be a cooler place to mount that box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 I put my MSD box in the drivers side windshield cowl... hidden and out of the way. (and easy to hide the wires to it) Seems to be working well for me. Just make sure it is out of the way of the wiper linkage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sims76 Posted June 16, 2004 Author Share Posted June 16, 2004 Thank you all... I like the driver's side windsheild cowl idea the best. Will look into the fender wall under the battery cover as option #2.
