Where to put the SMC control box

[Renthorin]

I show the car so I don't want it along side the instrument cluster. I had it down by my right ankle at the end of the console but I don't like to see it at all.

Thought about under the arm rest inside the console but then I have to drill a hole in that. Could do the glove box I suppose.

What I am thinking of is keeping all the wire and airline bundled up and place the controller somewhere in the engine compartment. Most likely under the nose where the hood closes.

I would have to put it in a bag to keep it dry but I donÕt drive in the rain and only had wash the car.

I know I wonÕt be able to see the low alky light but I donÕt drive the car that much and honestly donÕt get on the boost too much (noÉreally). I will just check it one and a while before I go for a cruise.

What about the rest of youÉ..what creative places have you put the controller?

Couple of thoughts: wonder how it would hold up to under hood temps; you wouldn't be able to prime the pump manually while driving if you wanted to. Something to think about.

Always prime the thing when you first start out at low speed.

Make sure it bogs the car and is pumping.

Especially if the boost and timing is turned up in the car.

Gotta know you got flow.....

Keep it within arms length.

Kirbans has a fiberglass cover for the fusebox, and all the wireing around the underside of the steering column. (forgot what you call it).

Once you have that, (the original is too wimpy) you can cut a trap door in it, and put the unit in there. Right side of the column 3-4 inches down. Use velcro as a hinge, and to hold it shut. A wire tie can be used as a 'stop' so it only opens so far.
