where to mount


Recommended Posts

Mine is also all tidy in the glovebox as well as all associated fuses and a terminal block. Since I use bluetooth to connect I never need to get to it anymore. But for any issues or upgrades it's a plug, vac line and 4 bolts to remove it.

 

I see a lot of guys mount in the stock ecu location but I wanted easier accessibility.

I don't know if I can remove the stock ecu just yet. It does fit in the glove box pretty well. The usb adaptor I have is a 4" monster that sticks out of the serial port, but even that still fits.

 

It looks like there is a spot it would fit under the passenger seat, too.

 

I've also got some plx modules I need to bring into the cabin somehere close to the ECU.

I run a Haltech E6k. Mine is tucked into a crack, right beside the steering colum. If I remember correctly, its kinda wedged in there, and the bottom cover on the dash keeps it from moving or falling out. I put the hole on that side as well, as I didn't want ot run the wires on the exhaust side. I has a serial port that hangs out at the bottom of the cover, whenever I need it.

Stock location for me as well. I just have not put the cover back in yet but i made a slim serial cable with a 90 deg plug on it. The cable will stay under passenger seat for now.

Don't want to spam too hard, as these are already in my build thread... But I did this for the ECU: (the trim mounting tabs still need to be added)

With this for the Ignition, ECU, and Fan relays, and the fuses:

My car is ofcourse RHD, but the idea should be pretty 'flippable'. The EVO V ecu shouldnt need to be touched once it's installed, as you can access everything through the mitsy debug, and the ODBII connectors, which will get put under the glovebox.

I was able to mount my ecu and ignition behind the glove box, but i took my a/c condenser out. Its a tight fit but still gave me all my glove box space. getting to it is just a matter of flipping the glove box down. Im running the stock 1jz ecu

I have been meaning to put these up for a few weeks now, just kept forgetting to. Scott modified an FIP ecu I had so I mount it and the relays in the stock locations. Also my cigarette lighter just stopped working (have a new one just need to install it), so for the current time so that I can use my laptop I mounted a constant +12v in the glove box
