Surreptitious.....

[oldeskewltoy]

Remember this pile o' blank?????




Nasty bit of mess here, and I've been thinking of exactly where the ECU will get mounted. Quite a few of you already know this firewall... likely better than I!! My FJO ecu isn't a small unit(as is plainly visible), so finding a mounting place out of the way... and not under foot(LITERALLY!) isn't easy....

Until I began to think out of the box........... or taking literally... off the firewall!





The mounted ECU - under the heater duct!




All out of the way... and VERY easy to service!!!!!


2 screws into the flange along the bottom of the heater box - thick plastic, I used 19mm long coarse screws and I used a plumber strap mounted as you see........ I did give some thought to the limited potential for the ecu getting wet, since it is mounted under the duct... The screws are very snug in the plastic, I doubt any moisture will seep along the threads.





a few details for the viewer...
1) the pile of black and white wire(upper left) is the tach driver... it is the last of the wiring besides making the battery cables.

2) the FJO little box you see(above the duct)... is the low ohm injector driver. The reason I'm using low ohm injectors is that low ohm injectors respond quicker then high ohm injectors

3) The little box hanging over the ECU is the mini USB connector for tuning access, it'll get mounted in the glove box.
