[s-cars] replacing a coil pack BTDTs

[Vincent Frégeac]

Someone like http://www.americanautowire.com will certainly have something
like an under-the-hood fuse box originally made for another car that could
be adapted to our coil packs, maybe leaving a few fuses spot empty.

Or the one at the bottom of this page: http://autorewire.com/, 5 fuses,
aluminium case, designed for bike applications so probably waterproof enough
to be mount beside the POS on the firewall. Worse case, some "glove in a
tube" on the top face should seal it and be easily removed if you need to
replace the fuse. Glow-When-Blown fuses would avoid removing the seal just
to check if a fuse is blown.


Vincent.

“now is a good time to install 5 inline weather proof fuses into the 
leads of all 5 coil packs. As Stefan and I have found out a shorted to 
the ground coil pack will take out the main 15A fuse to the ECU thus 
rendering the car inoperable.”
 
Igor,
Having btdt with this, I have had weather proof fuses for some time now with
good success, i.e. no problems.
That said, the tangle of wires is 
 well, a tangle of wires and surely not
up to race car standard.
Would someone know of perhaps a fuse panel of a nautical variety that could
be mounted and hold 5 or 6 fuses?
A circuit breaker would even be more elegant, but dunno if this would not be
good performance wise for the coil application.
Bueller?
