What's up guys! Been gone for awhile, but now back with an s2k prepping for turbo.

Installed an Odyssey PC680 today. Car starts no problem, but when I took it out for a drive I noticed it wants to die or dies when coming to a stop.

All my connections are solid. I'm thinking the distribution block I used isn't that great. Just purchased at a local audio store. I just ordered a high output stinger distribtion block.

What do you guys think?

 

I don't think it's the battery if not it wouldn't start up

But when it cranks does it take a minute to do do

I'm guessing it could be ur alternator I'm probably wrong though

 

Nope it cranks right up. Alternator was fine with stock battery.

 

Check voltage at idle after driving

Will it idle fine for extended time?

 

this always happens when replacing a battery/disconnecting it, the ecu is relearning driving/stopping conditions. Continue to drive it and it should clean up, if not check your volts&amps

 

After doing some research, I came across the same info posted above.

Thanks guys!

 

Why is the distribution block exposed like that?

 

Don't really get what is going on with the whole setup to be honest. Would have left the battery in the stock location with the stock wiring.

Like so...

 

I just had it that way to take the pic.

 

Relocating for turbo setup.

 

the thing you probably don't want to do is put weight further up front.

I would have gone stock battery but relocated in the back.

The turbo setup itself adds a lot of weight to the front.

The percentage of weight on the driven tires during acceleration is overlooked aspect that makes a huge difference.

The turbo kit and the battery moved further foward will mean less traction than a stock s2000. Stiff suspension only makes it worse. A 60lb battery mounted in the back of the trunk would be a huge improvement, and much cheaper than what you purchased. Mount it low enough and it might even lower your COG.

 

Right again! Ended up relocating the stock battery to the trunk. For the reason above, and can't go wrong with using OEM parts. Also didn't want any start up issues from cold weather or sitting. Still need to secure the circuit breaker, but everything works perfect!

 

Glad you got your problem resolved. Personally, I think the trunk is a better location for the battery. Should of been there when it came off the lot!

 

Yeah that would be nice! Just purchased my turbo kit today so I'll be boosted once again. I can't wait!

Thanks for your help everyone!
