Mounting Position for TPS RedRace Ignition Coil

[Supa_Mario]

Hi guys, does anyone have a picture of how have have mounted the TPS redrace ignition coil? I have installed my TPS system but can't find a suitable spot to mount the coil. Any pics to share??

that was the hardest part of fitting the kit for me as well,,,take your time and sit there looking over the car trying diferent places for coil i found on mine teres only 1 or 2 places that were any good to mount the coil in the end i cable tied it to my roll cage more or less above my carb on the cross bracket of my m&r racing alloy cage but should work on a stock one.

Yes I truly understand what you went through.. Currently this is how I have mounted mine. Do you think it would be fine?





Also, the ground wire can be connected to any part of the engine right? This is where I've attached the grounding wire.

It may be in the way of your throttle rod.

At the moment my throttle rod clears the coil. It runs just below the coil. I'll give it a try and see how it goes. I'm trying to avoid making a bracket just to mount the coil.

If the throttle rod is close to anything metal, make sure you use some heat shrink or brake pipe to reduce the risk of interferance.

i like it i never even thought of mounting there but i think my pipe runs to close to it
what have you bolted it to is that the head cover looks safe and well out the way mine looks like its in harms way but its not its quite safe and hasn't been marked as of yet it rarely gets dirty where ive put it

You're right, I'll need to use heat shrink on the throttle rod.. Tks!

I've bolted it to the engine cover. The original screw hole on the clutch side. I'm using this set-up for my on-road car, so I don't have to worry so much about the dirt issue..

It should be mounted as low as possible, for me best position i found was on engine cover, next to starter.
