Title: Battery Relocation
Post by: gordyzx9r on November 22 2011, 08:52:22 PM
I'm having a pre-luber installed, and right now it looks like the best spot to put it will be...where the battery currently sits.

Still debating it, but we might move the battery to the trunk.

I thought for sure Casper's would make a battery relocation kit, but I don't see one listed.

Options?

Ideas?

Engine or turbo pre-luber?

You can make a better one yourself if you want to. It will work better if you use welding cable though.

Yeah, he's going to use welding cable if we have to put it back there.  The only thing he's still contemplating is the enclosure.

Cool Gordo. You might look at some of the boxes that're offered through some of theplaces like speeway as well.

It would be interesting to weigh the cables that are eventually installed.

Remember that the primary ground on these cars is the factory sheet metal...not the best route to the engine block

Figured out a way to mount the preluber up front w/o having to relocate the battery.
