 Posted: Tue Dec 18, 2007 12:47 pm Post subject: Cooling tube on lightspeed ignition box? |
 |
|
Hey all –
I was monkeying around with the install of my LSE ignition box and in the instructions it says:
On 6-cylinder systems, cooling air should be supplied to the box via the cooling port on the 15-pin connector side of the ignition module. For 6-cyl. systems that do not have a cooling port, contact LSE for this modification. Cooling is not required for 4-cyl. systems.
I’m wondering how others routed cooling air into this small (3/8” ish) tube on the side of the unit? any suggestions?
Thanks!

CJ,
I bought a 3 port blower fan from Stein. I will use the other ports for the Avionics LRU's and one for the Lightspeed.

Chris,
I made an adapter to reduce the standard 5/8” cooling tube down to 3/8 out of some sort of poly tubing that I found at a home improvement store. Seemed to work pretty well.

I'm getting ready to start assembly of the panel and associated boxes.
Any chance you could take a pic of your installation? Trying to get
placement of items solidified in my mind.
Thanks

For those of us with older lightspeeds Klaus wants them returned for internal updates as well as a provision for cooling tubes.I should have put those boxes where they were easier to get to.

What's the definition of an "older Lightspeed"? I've had my Plasma 111 going on three years.
Thanks

If it didnt come with a provision for a cooling tube you are effected.Three years is about the timeline, although Klaus was not specific to the date.
