Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hey guys as title says i would like some ideas on how to go about water proofing it mainly ideas with the dizzy

here is a pic yes its messy engine bay but not talking about that lol



any info appreciated

thanx dane

dishwashing rubber glove, cable ties and tape,
or
change to MSD electronic or similar using a large dia cap, then if water does get in then there is no points and crossfire is less of a problem.
Or put thermos on so you can turn them off and then the fan wont blow water straight at it

TOU COULD TRY USING AN AMALGUM TAPE IT BECOMES SORT OF STICKY WHEN STRECHED AND IS WATER PROOF, ITS USED IN THE COMMUNICATON INDUSTRY WORKS WELL?

di-electric grease ... it is awseome.
Put it on every electical conector (plug boot's and around your dizzy cap). anything you want to seal and remain easy to disassemble (and be water tight again when you reassemble it.) It is fantastic stuff.

Get some good plug leads with formed boots ICE apparently make excellent ones. I have used bosch leads with great results as far as waterproofing goes.

thanx for the replies yeah cause if i go to quick into water she stalls or sometimes dont have to go in quick lol and yep stalled not fun when you this deep



oh if your wondering how high the car is


so yeah it was deep lol
thanx dane

with the plug leads, you can use 24hr araldite (spelling?) to seal up where to boot meets the lead.

I am sure that would work well .. but doesnt aryldite melt (or soften) at temps over 80c ?
Dielectic grease leaves things really easy to disassemble if needed as well, and becasue it stays as a grease .. when you reassemble it re-seals

the aryldite was intended to use on the current leads instead of buying lead woth formed boots.

but yeah for the rest of system the dielectric grease is a good idea
