Installing HKS DLI and NGK Spark Plugs today (need some advice)

Like the title says....wanted to get some advice from some members who have installed the HKS DLI....Where is the best place to mount the controller box to get a good ground?? also does anyone have a picture of the the HKS DLI installed?? I am trying to determine where to start so then I can determine what plugs go where.....

I will take some pics during the process to maybe show a write up of how to do the HKS DLI install along with the spark plugs.

I will let you know how everything goes as well with results from power etc.....I wish I had the grounding kit as well to install when I do this but unfortunately I dont...

Any advice/picture anyone can give that would be great!!!

Sorry for my ignorance. What does the DLI do? Increase spark power?

this is what I have to deal with right now...

As you can see they are not numbered....




Im assuming they plug in fairly easy to the OEM wiring harness....each plug to the connectors right?




Is this where I am tieing them into?




Im plugging the wires into these Technically:

thanks man...really quick..I unplugged all of it and plugged back up the OEM wires...my car seems to be idling fine now but I hear occasional popping from the exhaust....could this be because of the many times I started the car trying to determine what was the correct path for HKS DLI wires?? Meaning to much fuel in the system? Also I realized after changing my spark plugs lastnight that I was running NGK 1 Step Colder plugs on my NA engine for awhile now....(installed by infiniti when I put the new engine in) which I know is not good...so I put the OEM spec of NGK into the car...Should I do an ECU Reset, Throttle body re-learn and timing Re-learn?
