Where did you end up mounting the Megasquirt ECU?
I tried under the passenger seat, but its not going to fit unless I add about 3/8 - 1/2in spacer to the back bracket. Any other ideas? Keep in mind I have AC, and the center console is already full of speakers. Enjoy! |

Good ideas,
I like the trunk idea. It would be easier to run a small 9-pin cable though the firewall then it would the bigger 30+ pin cable. I could then just fasten the loose DB9 to the bottom of the center cushion tray. That would take up little space - since I use this a lot. Or even run it under the center box and next to the passenger seat for quick-connect to PC. Mark & Fiid - aren't you worried about the heat in the engine bay? Mueller - is heat in the trunk even a concern? I know the stock ECU is there, but i got the impression from the MS docs that it may not hold up in under-hood conditions. What have been you experiences, if any? TIA, |
