Default mounting external coil on H22 swap

I have a 92 prelude SI and I am currently doing an H22a swap on it. I am using the h23 distributor which is an external coil design (since I am also using the h23 harness). My question is, where do people mount this. On the h23, Honda mounts it right next to the exhaust cam, however the VTEC solonid is kinda in the way. Any ideas? pictures would help out a ton.

you could just extend the coli wires and mount it under your intake or could put it on the firewall, whatever would be easiest for you to be able to get to later

mine kinda just sits there.

i zip tied it so it stays in place. i've seen some custom mounts to make it look stock but i'm fine with where it is

I made a bracket that bolts to my thermostat housing.

some jdm h22s came with the external coil setup that has a stock bracket to hold the coil in between the intake and vtec solenoid valve. just ask if anyone is parting a blown h22

I took the radiator hose out of it's Y shaped holder, and bolted the coil to where the y shaped holer used to be.
