01-03 civic battery relocation - Honda-Tech

DynastyRacer22 · 10-10-2008, 05:09 PM

so ive searched and found nothing..but since im gettin a really good deal on a yellow top optima battery for 50bucks i was wondering if anyone ever relocate a battery in the 01-03 civics before? ive seen pics around here a while ago but i couldnt find it anymore.. and another thing is its a optima battery off a 94-00 integra wich is smaller than the 01-03 civics. i was thinkin of going to homedepot and pick up some sheet metal and bend it around the battery to create a holder and have it mounted somewhere any opionion or suggestion?

i was thinkin about something similar to this:

^^yea the trunk is probably the only place to put it

there is a whole tread devoted to battery relactions i believe it is in the appearance/cosmetic section.

mine is reloacated to the panel behind the drivers seat. i doubt an optima battery will fit tho.

I put mine in the trunk...

That is before turbo...give you a lot of room for the CAI...

gives you a lot of room for the IC piping...Put it in the trunk make engine bay look a lot more open and nicer

^ yea that looks good i was thinking maybe behind the panels too because i got 2 subs in the back and i dont want my back to sag lol but how did you relocate yours? just extend the power wire? would 4awg work?

ya if your leaving the fuse block you just need to extend the power wire. if you relocate the fuse block its a bit more work.

4 gauge would be fine i'd think unless you have a big draw from your amp.

ive done it to my es2...but then again i have it done on my k swap....so my fuse box is inside the car and my red top is in the trunk. i used 2 guage wire from the battery to a distribution block...then 4 guage wire from the block to the starter anbd alternator and also to the fuse box.
