Where are people mounting the PAC unit for their alky injection kits?

I see you need to adjust it on the dyno to tune it in, so I'm trying to find somewhere that's hidden, but not too hard to access for that initial tune.

Right now I have it tucked in one of the metal 'loops' under the dash with the wires run out the back next to the OBD port. (red circle)



I think I should be able to remove the bottom panel for reasonable acess.

Does anyone else have a recommendation on where to put it?

Also, slightly different topic, but what are people typically dailing in the dials at?

Mine is tucked behind the carpet along the passenger side of the tunnel. Since all the wires except the pump went on that side I found it easier.

I installed mine in the same spot as realcanuk but used a double sided velcro to secure it. Very neat install.

Velcro on the back of drivers side knee bolster. Once you set the adjustment on the PAC you shouldn't have to change it. Tweaking djustments can usually be made through the gain control dial.

I mounted mine in the right rear corner, but also modified the system. my pump and tanks are in the rear of the car. the gain control is in the ash tray.

I mounted mine in that aluminum loop as you have pictured. I left off the cover to the pot dials and am able to access them after removing bottom part of the dash. Then I just have the remote module sitting beside the seat by the emergency exit lever.

Having developed this kit with Julio @ Alky Control we had originally decided to put everything underneath the dashboard .

We can use that aluminum 'loop' to put the controller in at times. Once you set the methanol system up for initial/turnon/gain settings you should never touch the controller again after it has been tuned. This is why we like to install the electronics in a hidden location, no need for anyone to touch the settings after it is tuned, period.

Right on... that spot should be fine then. I'll just remove the trim to access it on the dyno. I have a wideband in my ashtray, so I may get a cat5 extension and run the line to my glove box for the power/gain **** and test button.

I assume it's just standard Cat5 cable and I can buy this:

And then just use some old ethernet cables I have left over?

I would think so but not sure. I used the cable that came with the kit. Call Julio. He will tell you for sure.

I called him up and he said any Cat5 cable will work
