VB921 install inside MSnS? How did it work?

Post by ion332 »

I installed my vb921s in my MSnS case, and I ran the grounds to the ground plane of the MSnS and ran the other to 2 pins on the DB37, 6 total for the 3 ignitors, and I am a bit worried.

Anyone do this with any success? Any problems? Ideas? Crosstalk? Is this safe and reliable?

BTW, I have the vb921s bolted to the rs232 plate, and on the outside of the plate, I have to220 heatsinks bolted to the backside.

I've had mine that way for about a year now. The resets I experienced weren't caused because of the VBs being mounted in the case.

I have also built SEVERAL other squirts configured for wasted spark in this manner and nobody has reported any bad things yet :)

There are a few people on PT running with the same setup as me (from the bulk buys) that also haven't reported issues with this.

EDIT:

Mine are grounded externally though. I still wouldn't want to put those on the MS grounds.

Hrm.. Well, from looking at them, these grounds in the MS look pretty beefy, but, yeah, I already ran a piece of insulated grounding strap through the case to an eyelet screwed to the dash framework. :) So I assume it should be ok that way.
