need4speed Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 As title. Im mounting all my MS hardware into my enclosure and was wondering about the EDIS. Due to size of my enclosure i had planned to screw the EDIS on its side onto some 12mm square plywood dowels, which in turn are araldite'd onto side of enclosure. Im pretty sure i recall someone knowledgable (think it was maybe Jon) saying it wasnt essential to heatsink it. Could someone maybe confirm this to be the case?

Mike Jenkins Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 The EDIS is a sealed unit and waterproof I think. I bolted mine to the plate in the engine bay that the coil used to be on. It doesn't seem to get over warm. Is your enclosure metal? If so bolt to the inside and it will be a fine heatsink. The delicate stuff (I only have megajolt, not squirt), I put inside the cab.

FridgeFreezer Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I've never heard of one overheating yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 No need to worry, self contained unit, yes it is (and plug) waterproof, but keeping it clean and out of harms way is still a good Idea IMHO Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Noisy Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I have mine mounted in the engine bay but dare I say it gets warmer from the latent heat off the headers etc than it ever would if it were just left to its own devices! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
