Well I just got my profec B Spec II in the mail today and I am going to install it tomorrow. Just looking to see what 12v ignition source some of you guys tapped into, and where the best place to mount the valve unit is. Thanks fellas.

Cigarette Lighter and remove Ash tray and set in there. :)


*edit* I have an HKS EVC & APEXi Turbo Timer in there...so I'd think a Profec B should have no problem fitting in place. ;)

Yea that was my original plan to do that. How about the valve unit mounting fellas?

Ohhhh, My bad.

I just saw mounting and immediately thought of the controller itself.

Have a picture of the valve unit?

As long as you dont use the cig lighter to light your cigs. I pushed it in one time to see if it worked and it poped the fuse. Out went the boost gauge and a few other things attached to that wire. I dont smoke so I tossed the lighter out and never had a prob.

Just wanted to let you know.. :)

I had the controller part mounted underneath my radio. I have a little drawer thing from a camry that I could close and you wouldn't see it. The solenoid valve was mounted on my fender by the fan relay.

Edit: changed to fan relay.

I was looking in that area aswell. Its very limited to space around that part of the car, just seeing what other people have done with the valve solenoid.

This is where I mounted the solenoid (this one is from the MAFT Pro) but the Greddy was in the same place. Look to the left of the air filter just below the black hose from the IC.
