It was pretty simple and only took a few seconds. I had to modify the front battery tie down as shown in pic...

13 1/2 Lbs.

Interesting, what's that thing weigh and cost?

 

Miguel,

Are those SAMCO hoses? Where did you get those. BRITS in Northern California phone number is wrong

 

Zygspeed, its 13.5lbs. Read the 2nd line

 

Doh!
hehe ... I was too busy looking at the pictures, thanks.

About the hoses ... C & R radiator has colored hoses, not sure if they are Samco or not.
The red ones were out of stock when I ordered my radiator so I just got blue ones instead.
They were about $50 ea.

Hey Migs,how are ya? They are probably made by Samco. They are sold by C & R racing. I picked them up when I got their radiator.

You can talk to Rob at C & R http://www.crracing.com

Also, Leo from http://www.jdmspecperf.com may be able to get you Samco hoses. I think he is running them on his car.

Thanks,
Miguel

Looking good. I have 2 friends with Dyna-Batts and they love them. Another battery to try is a 1500cc or higher Honda Goldwing battery. Ive been running mine for over 2 months with no problems what so ever and its 15 pounds.

 

Someone needs to remove their OEM Panasonic battery and weigh it. I would but I have no scale.

 

Nice... what kind is that?

They also make Spoon batteries... $300+ I believe and Type One batteries for less than half the Spoon battery.

I think A & J has them.

Mine is called a "Reactor", and I got it from/through Summit Racing.
It's a sealed cell system similar to the Dynabat, but that slae price looks good compared to what I'd paid.

 

Will the DyanBatt, or any of the others, be safe mounted lying down on their side?

 

Thr "reactor" battery I have is advertised as being able to be mounted in any position, and I suspect the same with the Dyna-batt if it is of a sealed cell type.

 

My stock battery weighed in at 28pds on my bathroom scale.
My Dynabatt has been in for at least 8 months with no problems.

 

Thats good to know

Thanks,
Miguel

 

How do these batts work for motors with raised compression, or bigger motors?

Are you running any stereo equipement (probably not, if you need a light weight battery )

 

damn, I want a lightweight battery now.

 

we've been selling a bunch of these for awhile now.
Great battery. we acutally have a relocation kit for the EF's but lots of DC, EK, EG guys have been using them as well.

I dont have pics of the mounted ones on the crossmember on the EF up on the site, but please email me so I can attach the pic of that custom fabrication piece that we do for the EF. EF relocation kits are $159.00 shipped. opens up the engine area to more space for better straighter piping, or if you just dont want that cluttered look in the Engine bay.
keeps the weight in the front as well.
pic of an EF w/o the battery on the top:


sorry cant see the battery from this pic, but you get the idea of the space saving that it gives

What is the CCA output of the Dynabatt?

I just put an odyssey PC625 in my car.

265 CCA's, $99, 13.2 lbs

 

dude you're selling the car :D
