1G Battery relocation

[ANGELRAY]

Ok so I bought a evo 8 battery relocation kit and they sent me these two pictures I was wondering if I would use it the same on my 1g I’m not really sure I wanna ask before I start doing anything

I would say yes. That is just a power distribution block it appears.

I feel like it’s a dumb question but what is the ACD I’m not sure what that is. my car doesn't have it correct

No, your car doesnt have ACD (Active Center Differential). That is only for those super fancy high tech race cars..

Okay great don’t need any fancy stuff and you happen to know where would the alternator wire be located

 

[ANGELRAY]

The fuse block goes to the positive battery terminal, yes.

Would I be able to remove it and contact it to this ?

And would this be the fuse box wire ? Second picture if from Guide

Are you asking whether you can remove the original fuse block and just use the Evo block? Are there fuses on the Evo block?

From the original fuse block on the positive battery terminal, there is a double white wire with ring terminal going to one side of the alternator fuse. The other side of that fuse would be going directly to the alternator.

The fuse box is mostly powered through the double white wire going to the alternator fuse, distributed to many of the other fuses in the box itself. The alternator, certainly, should remain fused, and I’d expect most of the circuits should, too. So unless the Evo piece has fuses, I can’t see exactly how you’d expect to use it.

Okay yeah form the original fuse box I need the alternator wire to connect to the evo thing like the picture shows I wasn’t sure what the alternative wire looked like. I was going to remove the positive fuse box it has a built in fuse I believe I’m not sure

I have it set up where I don’t have to remove any fuses

So would the double white wire be the fuse box wire and the red black and white wire be the alternator??

The double white wire is alternator and fuse box power. For a diagram and some explanation, see: 1G Electrical gremlin after new motor

Fused through the original 3-fuse terminal block:
The black with red stripe is power to the MPI control relay.
The red is power to the radiator fan motor relay.
The white is power to the ignition switch.

If so would I put it in a the alternator part on the evo fuse battery thing or do I leave it where I have it I have it where the battery wire is and separate the red white and black on the other slots

What are you trying to accomplish? Why use the Evo block at all?

The circuits need to be fused. If the Evo block doesn’t have fuses, are you planning to fuse the circuits downstream somewhere?

I bought a battery relocation kit and I’m trying to relocate the battery to the trunk of the car. i bought this bc one of the people told me on dsmtalks that it would work for it

Or could I use this J-case fuse wire and connect it to the evo block would that work?

 

[19Eclipse90]

I don’t know anything about the Evo block - if it’s truly just a distribution block, there’s numerous ways it could be made to work.

So you have wire from the positive terminal in the trunk to the top and center terminal on this block. You’re using the post labeled “starter” for the starter circuit.

If there’s no fuses in the block, you could use any other post for the two white wires to the alternator fuse. It may be easier to use the “starter” post for the original fuse block and connect the starter somewhere else.

This is all guessing as I don’t know the specifics of the Evo block.

Okay yeah I can try that out

Okay what this is is the

• Evo X Wiring Joint
• Evo X Fusible Link

  so could I use this as the fuses for the red black and white wire?

 

[pauleyman]

Battery relocation is kinda universal. Why are you trying to adapt this EVO X block? It looks to have a proprietary fusible link section also vs off the shelf stuff.
Somebody probably did it because it was available.

Knowing that, you would still need to fuse those other circuits down. Those values within the Evo block are too high to properly protect the DSM circuits.

 

[pauleyman]

Looks like every time you blow one of those links it's 60$. No thanks.

 

[19Eclipse90]

Agreed. The Evo block is definitely not the route I would go for a simple battery relocation.

 

[92AWDHX40]

You want to keep this simple as possible, straight and easy to maintain definitely want to be able to diagnose problems easily. I just relocated mien but i got some details to do like o gauge wire. good luck with your project.
