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! |

Heat in the bay isn't a big issue, its not like your using the block as a heatsink. In some cars it may be a problem but not in a teen. Moisture on the other hand could become a major issue over time, but even a teen doesn't have the splash problems of an waterpumper.
The trunk is fine, as long as your not doing a turbo and have an exhaust pipe 1/2" away on the other side of the tin. My programer also uses a DB9. I cut mine ( they're only about $10) and ran it and a couple of other wires through a 9/16" hole beside the shiftrod into the tunnel. Then I soldered it back together. Make sure you use a grommet through any hole drilled in metal. With it in the trunk you can run the wires through the plastic top latch cup. I hate drilling holes, so I think this would be one of the better spots. |
