Why don't you just ask where people mounted their Twin Power units?

I mounted mine on the driver side of my engine bay, here's some pics:





Now, whether or not that is a good spot to place the ground... I don't know. Thats just where I stuck it and I have not really noticed any problems. I would love some feedback from the older and wiser owners on that one...


(some modification to the HKS unit was required to fit it here... nothing painful though)

I mounted mine on the driver-side front frame rail. Best spot I've found...

Mine is mounted in the same spot. The only modification was to make the mounting hole larger.

I put the ground wire on another screw on the front side of the shock tower.

I ended up going a different route. I wanted it as far away from heat as possible, and keeping the wiring kind of stealthy. I wrapped the harness with some rubber stuff I had laying around in the garage. I relocated the cruise control harness plug thing to under the twin power so I can use the hole that the harness was mounted to. I grounded the twin power with one of the bolts to the igniter. Pretty easy!

Here are pictures!

he has relocated coils. Any chance we can get detailed pictures of the relocation of the coils? I've always wanted to do it.
