Default How hard is it to put the battery in the trunk?

I have a 88 CRX Si & the turbo kit [peak boost(wiredspeed.com)] that I'm looking at calls that I need to put the battery in the hatch to clear the charge pipes. I'm in Iraq right now so its a little hard to check out my car and see where it needs to go. If any one has done this or knows how to do it that would help me out.

Try searching. There is a very informative thread on relocating the batt. to the trunk in this forum.

I just posted this same question like two days ago:

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1269209

I am interested in relocating mine, as well, or putting it on its side (its a smaller battery), but a guy on my thread said he was going to post pictures of a space he mounted his under the dash, that was apparently much easier for him.

No you dont cut anything. Your making it harder than it has to be. Its self explanatory.
