Other than right below the lower DIN slot or the change cubby, where have others mounted the SMC alky control unit?

 

yeah, i couldn't find a great spot for mine....so put them in the cubby under the ventilation controls....used some really strong velcro on the top of the boxes and stuck them both to the "roof" in the cubby spot. had to cut a hole in the back to slip both boxes in... but i am really happy with them there as they are easy to access for me. if you put them somewhere else post up some piqs when your done!

 

Bump for more mounting locations for the SMC unit...

 

Mine is mounted to the back of the glove box if you want pics I can take them later today.

 

By the way Rich this is Black Magic MR from DCEvo

 

If you could take / post a picture that would be great....How do you monitor the LEDs?

 

There is only one status LED which I check regularly, but the failsafes are built into the ECU and I will know right away if something goes wrong because it will switch to the low octane map which is tuned to run without alky safely. Ill get pics up for you later today.

 

How have you setup the ECU to use 100% Low Octane map? The ECU generally targets a mix of High / Low maps based upon Knock and Octane Value. If you have a way to switch over to 100% Low upon an event (Knock, AFR, etc.) I would LOVE to know how you mod'd your ECU. Thanks

 

Bump for ideas / pictures on where to mount the SMC controller....Thanks

 

This is a 2005 thread! I've since installed, removed and sold my SMC kit. I think the change compartment is pretty ideal from the standpoint of convenience and wiring.

 

I said the same thing! I wondered if you even still had the car!

 

2006 MRs don't have the change drawer ....The ashtray looks too small / narrow, although I guess something could be custom developed...Also funny how one gets slammed for searching and adding onto a relevant post ...
