Can I extend the four wires that splice into the engine harness by like 5 feet? I wanna put the box inside the car.

you can put the box where ever you want

sweetbmxrider · 01-26-2009, 06:38 PM

why not?

LTb1ow · 01-26-2009, 06:46 PM

I just don't wanna extend the four wires a lot and then have it lose strength, working ability etc.

sweetbmxrider · 01-26-2009, 07:53 PM

switch to a lower gauge with less resistance per foot. i think it will be fine. racers mount them inside around the dash area all the time.

LTb1ow · 01-26-2009, 07:56 PM

Thats what I was looking at, I also am gonna take a look under the fender in the driver side wheel well.

sweetbmxrider · 01-26-2009, 07:58 PM

like down where the cai's stick the air filter?

LTb1ow · 01-26-2009, 08:03 PM

Behind it, apparently there is a lot of empty space in there. Thats tmmrs project.

sweetbmxrider · 01-26-2009, 08:24 PM

cool have fun. hope it doesn't get too wet back there.

LTb1ow · 01-26-2009, 08:25 PM

I shall see, if not, then off to radio shack for some wire and zip ties.

No, you can't. There's a reason it's finned- so that it sheds heat. If you shove it somewhere that is insulated it may heat up and pop the internal fuse.

You can mount it in the passenger compartment but that's not optimal. Just like gen I people who mount their coils sideways. Does it work? Yes, but it may have a shorter life.

But to answer the question, you can extend the wires if you use a quality auto wire of a proper gauge. I think 10-12 is what you should use.

Ok, but it prob will get better cooling inside the car. I drive with the windows down

I just want to clean up the engine and that is a loose end as of now.

Ok. It will probably be fine anyway. Just make sure you can get at the rev limiter pills easily.

LTb1ow · 01-26-2009, 08:59 PM

Yup, any one have a 6200 laying around?

LOL. I'm sure I do. But I have NO ****ING IDEA where.

LTb1ow · 01-26-2009, 09:01 PM

I only got a 6k one and would love to have the MSD match the computor rev limit. Well off by 100 but still. MSD rev limiter > stock.

Even better, if somebody else has to drive your car, you can throw in the 4000 pill and be good to go.

LTb1ow · 01-26-2009, 09:09 PM

I was thinking the same thing.

Granted that would be hell with a 3k stall..... lol

LTb1ow · 01-27-2009, 11:24 PM

Now that I am back on top, lol, anyone have a 6200 pill laying around?

Not sure if you want to go through all this but an interesting read nonetheless

you're right, it's only from 6000-6800 in 200 increments with free shipping.

LTb1ow · 01-28-2009, 02:50 PM

Where do you see that? The link you posted is for a 5100 to 6000?
