Default Anyone have pics or Instructions for HKS DLI Install

I purchased a new (open box) HKS DLI II. Only problem is it did not include any instructions. It came with the DLI II unit and 350z specific harness. From the looks of it, it seems very straight forward. For every coil connector you separate it from the coil and connect the DLI plugs in between. Simple.

Question: Is there any significance of which direction you start the connection?
Is it going to make a difference if you start from cylinder #2 and work your way around to #1 or vice versa?

I don't want to do any damage to the coils by hooking it up backwards if that's even possible.

Pics might be nice too if anyone has one.

Thanks for the feedback.

if you lay it all out, you'll see that each connector is really only long enough to reach it's respective coil - you won't damage the unit or the coils by plugging it in wrong either

Will it matter if I start from Coil #2 and wrap around to the rear of the motor ending up at Coil #1 or vice versa?

Yes. If you lay the cable out, it really only fits one way. Around the back of the engine.



The instructions say to mount the unit on the passenger wheelwell near the strut brace, wrapping the harness back by the firewall. Split the harness so the shorter side runs to the passenger coils and the longer side runs to the driver coils. Black cable is ground. The rest is written in Japanese.

I guess it really was that simple after all. I can see it as very easy to mount in the reverse fashion though and I didn't want to do it wrong.
Again mine had no instructions. Thanks for sharing.

Anyone else have any pics of their HKS DLI installed to get some ideas of where or how to mount it?

I mounted mine on the pass side and routed the cables around the back of the motor.I just layed them out and went from there as the instructions were lame at best.And this is really the only pic i have of it.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Yep, that's kinda where HKS told you to mount it. But, there isn't room with the stuff under our hood - US model. Plus, I have the Stillen strut brace. So, I was able to mount mine off one of the bolt and face the harness to the back - as shown above.

You can put it anywhere, though. Inside the battery compartment or on the back firewall were my second and third choice.
