Anyone ever moved the battery to the passenger side behind the bumper? Im thinkin of do this just like EG's do, but would i need a half size battery or what? any info would be great

Boss, just move it to the back. In the trunk. And make two small holes and use and EG or DC battery tiedown.

then to run at most tracks you'll have to put a battery cut-off switch in it. Just run like a kinetic 800 battery up front small, and works good.

get a password relocation kit

I've used 4AWG wire for 6 years no problems.

You could but then you need to buy the battery tray that bolts to the frame.
Do you use this car for track or daily?

i didn't want to relocate my battery for same reason - dont want to install a kill switch

I got a mini oddessy style battery and mounted it up against the frame rail, sits right in between the tranny and the frame rail.

I purchased new 93 prelude VTEC battery cables - worked fantastic. Highly recommended mod

THE SEARCH FUNCTION SUCKS!!!!

After five minutes of time wasted searching here I just went to google and found this.

I would only recommend this setup if this is a drag car only.

I didnt want it in the rear, thats why i asked about the side
im thinking of just a undersized battery and a password kit
Daily with track on the side
hmmmm....ill have to look into that
why only on a drag car? Because it may bounce or something?




man after reading all of this i think im just going to get a PW:JDM kit and leave it at that

In my experience putting the battery in the trunk is best, it stays clean, dry, and the engine heat doesn't get to the battery. I did mine in less than an hour and it's working great.

I did that in my last hatch, just dont feel like doing it again really...

I say this is good for a drag car because it will allow space in the engine bay but retain all of that extra weight over the drive wheels. If you moved it to the back you would gain better weight distribution and balance for better handling but in a drag car you want the weight over the wheels.

I always thought It would be dope to relocate my battery to one of the side compartments. Although if you wanted it to still be functional (Lid open & closing) you'd have to find an extrordinarily small power supply

odessy batteries are hella small....i dont remember what my friend has in his s13...but its like. 3" wide, 6" long, and about 6 to 7 " tall....hella small..but enough power to start a RB25

but like i said i am just going to get the PW:JDM kit. mainly cause of CF and also cause i want a hella nice long term battery.....

gringo7718

Dont waste your money on PWJDM stuff. Just get and odyssey battery and this bracket for only 39$

Speaking of weight, how much do lightweight batteries weigh these days? I though I had seen something like 10 lbs or so, maybe less, this was quite some time ago...

apekd

well my full size weighs about 20-25 lbs.....so i think the half size is like, 10 or so...
thanks for the Summt racing link....I think ill get it and just powder coat it....again thanks!
