Battery relocation [Merged 3-8]

[92AWDHX40]

is there a place where everyone got all the parts, a online store.

Finally completely finished mine. 0 gauge from the alternator to battery and battery to distribution block. Also put a battery cut off switch behind the license plate.

Looks like a job well done as long as you don't plan on drag racing.

Tech at my local track isn't super picky, I'm sure it will pass. I plan on having the plate removed at the track and a sticker showing where the switch is.

Where did you find the box, im going to do mine soon.

Just pulling up a quick question, will I be safe to run 2Ga wire to my starter and alternator? Or should I return this wire and go with 1 gauge. I don't think it will be that big of a deal but I'd rather not waste my time. I've seen everyone do it a bit different. I'm running 2Ga from my box from the trunk to the front as it is, came with my Taylor box and kit.

My whole rewire is 2 gauge. It'll be fine.

Thank you sir. From what I know about wiring I saw no reason why it wouldn't be. But then saw all these guys running 0 and 1 and wanted to make sure. Trying to keep it a bit lighter

Where did you guys run your power wire through the firewall? Or do I need to drill a hole. 1g DSM.

 

[97_4g63t]

I used one of these for starter wire and alternator wire. http://www.jegs.com/i/Moroso/710/74...8&cadevice=m&gclid=CKK6i4S2ysYCFYZefgodNBQJBA
I just drilled some small holes with rubber grommets for fuse box power wires

 

[Maxthepersonz]

How did you drill the 1 1/4 inch hole in the firewall? Sorry for all the questions I don't want any mistakes haha. Seems like a big drill bit.

 

[darknezz7]

step drill bits.
I had to use one to drill out for master cylinder since the car was an auto.

Like stated above. I used the exact stepper bit. Bought it from lowes.

 

[Maxthepersonz]

Where do I go through the firewall in a 1g? My car still has full interior. If someone could post a pic from inside and outside that would be great!

 

[Maxthepersonz]

Pics anyone? I got the through panel connectors but not sure where to drill

So I got my wires all ran. I'm using a KunKoncepts power distribution block like shown on a previous page here. Howe exactly do I wire that with the ugly looking fuse box/battery terminal? Basically turns my 1 wire into 3 outputs.

 

[97_4g63t]

Give us a picture. Here is my distribution block. Pretty sure it's the same one but on a 2g[URL=http://s273.photobucket.com/user/brandonleehulsey/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20150425_193951.jpg.html]

Not sure if the 2g has the same fusible link box that 1gs have on the battery terminal on the positive. That's what I am most concerned on moving and need to know how I should wire it exactly?

 

[miliman13]

so if you just extended the +/- wires of the battery and relocated it to the trunk, would the oem fuses still not serve their purpose, would you still need an inline fuse?

All I did was purchase the Summit Racing battery relocation kit which comes with 1 gauge cable. I run the 1 gauge from the trunk right to the factory positive connections in the bay which includes the small oem fuse box. I also use a 175amp circuit breaker for a peace of mind since a positive wire is ran through the inside of the car. The ground just goes to the trunk. I may end up running a ground to the firewall as well and distribute to the engine.

Obviously this method isn't legal for sanctioned racing as there's no cut off for the alternator.

so are you 2G guys removing the white fusible link wires that are split into 2 sets of 2 and replacing them with 4 Gauge wire? with any fuse inline other then the distribution block?
my battery is going in the passenger footwell and I was going to remove them white wires and use 4 gauge like shown with 2x inline circuit breakers at low amps rated for them wires or output going towards my distribution block thats going to sit on the firewall or strut tower!

all your extra inline fuses and breakers just seem wayyyyy over the top more specfically the one going to the alt! you have 2 and I dont see the point as 1 would be more then enough and its extra cost! thankfully im not having my battery in the back

I bought my kit from 4 Wheel Online. Its a typical bolt on procedure. All parts and tools are included in the kit.

Reviving this thread from the dead. Does anyone have a diagram for the 2g relocation and no kill switch, there's alot of dead links for diagrams and so many different versions over the years. Was hoping to relocate my battery this weekend to the trunk as my odyssey doesn't really hold a charge so i picked up a red top and Moroso box.

I already have a 4 gauge feed from the trunk to bay from the amp previously so i was hoping to re utilize that. Purchased 0 gauge wire, distribution blocks, remote battery jumper leads to put in the bay. I do have a rewire with inline fuse for my fuel pump already that isn't pictured and an inline fuse for the amp already. Also not seen is a 0/2/4 to 4/6/8 gauge distribution (non fused) and a 4 way mini anl 0/2/4 to 4/6/8 fused (60)
