Where to put the ECU

[Nova_Tek]

For all those who have put in conversions which use ECU's, where have you put them?

I know some people put it on the parcel shelf but I'd be wanting to put it somehwere more 'out of the way'. Best place on a Nova to do it?

I've got one place in mind but just wanted to hear other examples (as always)

mines in the usual shelf because im lazy and can remove it when needed lol

On the SRi and the later GSi the ECU is bolted behind the glove box above the shelf. There are some slots on the dash/brake strengthening.

I made a tray for the the DTA to sit on so it could sit in the factory postion.

That was the idea I had, was looking to attach it to the inside of the battery tray or there abouts

inside of course mate, didn't mean the battery tray under the bonnet but the bottom of the battery tray up behind the dash.

Just remember to trial fit the dash. It may foul the back of it?

Don't like the snap off wheels. Great security device but they look a bit pants imo

[w_wall_2001]

The dash will be in place so no chance of fouling.
