where to mount ecu

[bigstu]

putting a 5mge in my surf how do i get the wires from the engine bay into the cab and where the best tryed and true place to mount the ecu also does any1 have a loom diagram for late model 5mge (ex cressida?) as i want to tidy up the wiring looks to have been done a bit dodgy in the past none of the diagrams ive found on net or on 4wd.net seem to match.
help greatly appreciated.
Thanks Stu

I normally put the wires through where the air con pipes went, you can put the rubber boot over the loom and if your careful you can get the plug through the hole with out making it bigger. Most people put the ecu in the glove box.

mine was in a water proof box where the stereo was, but i will be putting the commie one behind the dash above the glove box, but if you have air con, there is a pump there so it will be a squeeze.

If you look through this site

there are wiring diagrams etc

I agree in the glovebox, if you want to keep that area useful you can get it up under the dash on the drivers side but may need to extend the loom. Some people seal them up with RTV and they don't seem to have temp issues but I have not seen the need to do that to one (dash under water and you driving?).

Good Luck, I hate wires and solder.
