Even though Hondata recommended not doing it, I saw that people on K20a.org had relocated their batteries to the trunk. I ran 1 gauge wire from the alternator to the battery and 4 gauge from the starter to the battery.

When I turn the key to the 'on' position there is a buzzing coming from the relay under the dash. I checked all the grounds on my engine with no change. Thinking it was the battery, I hooked the charger I have up and put it to the jump start mode. Flipped the key to on, no buzzing, fuel pump comes on.

So I drove over to Sears and bought a new battery. Came back, installed it, flipped the key, buzzing again.

Should I abandon the idea of relocating the battery to the trunk, or do you think there is something else going on?

Spent all day with a multimeter under the dash. It looks like the main relay is bad and the starter is shot as well. I should have replaced the starter anyways seeing as the swap sat for quite a while from when the car was wrecked until I bought it.
