im finishing up my race car and want to mount my battery in the inner fender... ive seen this in EGs DCs and EKs but never on a crx... i mean im pretty sure its been done... the question im asking is will a stock EG size battery fit on the inner fender fit with the stock bumper on? please let me know if its possible. thanks

lightcrx

stock battery is kinda big, i run a high cca motorcycle batt on my crx. sealed of course

DaveF

the stock eg battery fits in the fenderwell of the crx, no problem.

lightcrx

learn sumin new every day! i never tried it but the battery is bulky, if you know what i mean. stock eg and stock crx batterys are the same.

does anyone have pictures on CRX batterys that they have moved to a new location.... i have a k20 and i was thinking about mounting it on the inner drivers side by the tranny but i was trying to worry alittle about the weight distrabution... if you look in this picture in the far right corner you can bairly see it... this is where i was thinking about mounting it. there or on the passanger outer fender

lightcrx

i have mine on the pass side just like that, but no k20 ;x

i mounted the battery like you pictured above on a customer's car,only on the passenger side(it was a B-series engine,so the passenger side worked better).no problems,and i wouldn't worry too much about it affecting weight distribution.

I think your a little heavy on the passenger side anyway.

Is it legal in NHRA to place the battery in the fender well without a kill switch? can you place a dry cell Motorcycle behind the dash and pass tech?

thanks

As far as i know the rules now state you only need a kill switch if it's in the driver's compartment.

anytime the battery is moved from stock location you need a cut off switch... even sealed dry cell batterys need a box i learned that last season...

even if it is moved to the fenderwell? that doesnt make sence. i can understand if your moving it to the drivers compartment by why does it need a cutoff if your only going to the fenderwell?

The rule book contradicts itself it seems. In general regulations it says you need a cut off switch if the batter is relocated anywhere. Under the class regulations (for SFWD for example) it says if the battery is relocated to the trunk you need one.

"MASTER CUTOFF:
Mandatory on any vehicle running 9.99 or quicker, or 135 mph or faster, or on any vehicle where the battery has been relocated to the trunk of vehicle. See General Regulations 8:4"

"8:4 MASTER CUTOFF
Mandatory when battery is relocated or on any vehicle running 9.99 or quicker. An electrical power cutoff switch (one only) must be installed on the rearmost part of each vehicle and be easily accessible from outside the car body. The cutoff switch must..."

I do. Not a CRX but an 88 hatchback. It's an Nrg-cell battery, not a stock sized battery. Made a bracket for it and placed it in front of the transmission.
