You mount them where you feel like. SERIOUS.

I recommend the vtec solenoid, intake manifold, and block.

B2FiNiTY's right, there are no "specific" locations to mount them.

there is no right or wrong way of installing these things....whatever works best and that can only be determined at a dyno. I think my set up goes from firewall to valve cover, valve cover to tranny, valve cover to body, valve cover to neg. battery terminal....hmmm, i think that's right.

earthing is the term you need..

search for it, in the ITR archives.. I just did it and found my old thread plus like 10 more.. pics, dyno plots, installation instructions.. some info will be for other kits, like Tommy_Gunn's, but all are basically the same..

your not to bright.... pick a screw or nut or bolt anywere you feel is good... unscrew it put the cable under it, then screw it back in.... use some of the locations that were listed its not to hard man.....

I would hate to see how you change your oil or worse put gas in your car

Forgot to take pics of that one!

Be very carefull with that one because it is very tight and is prone to stripping due to lack of space to get a good hand on it.
