Im lookin to put the battery in the trunk...I need suggestions other than spendin $100+ on a kit lol pics of your setup would be much appreciated

Here's all the pics I have of mine... Cost me about 50 bucks for the zip ties, 20 feet of zero gauge, and the little terminal male/female connections. It isn't track legal or whatever, but I don't give a ****, cause I don't track my car!

Mr.sinister can I ask why you didn't mount on the other side of the trunk?

Hmm... I don't even know. Let me go look at my trunk.. There musta been a reason for it.

 

[mrsinister2424]

Ok, its cause there's a few more inches of room on the right side of the trunk because of the spare tire pit.

The best place to mount the battery is the right side. Along with cleaning up the engine bay, putting it on the right side offsets the driver weight.

Mine pretty much looks like the first car pictured so no point in posting mine

For best wieght transfer, you want the battery mounted in the right rear of the trunk

[norcalam2]

Gotcha. is there any negs from running all that extra wire? anything from the added resistance?

Im thinkin about makin a tray myself and also makin a dogbone looking piece of aluminum to go over the top of the battery with some all thread....

 

[norcalam2]

Just use nylon webbing strap. if you don't want the box all you need to do is make a simple tray and run a strap around the whole thing (works best with the straps that don't have ratchets just the spring loaded stopper).

how did you guys go about venting it and tying in with the existing wiring under the hood?

Nice pics! So you just have it routed to your speed sensor or whatever that is and that's it?

 

[F8L GT]

mine is routed to my starter. I cut the battery terminal off the old pos cable and but an eyelet on it and ran that to the power juntion box that sites by the factory battery location

F8L hit the nail on the head! thats what I want! break down the underhood wiring for me a little..oh and I wont be using an on/off switch
