Battery Relocation....

[AllTracCelica]

Hey guys,

Well still working on turbo build. We are going to send car out for paint in next few days i want to go ahead and do a wire tuck. Where is the best places for the fuse boxes and battery relocation? Reminder its daily driver and passenger usually with me so pass floor board not to likely. I have been looking on site see alot of pictures of wire tucks but any guides exactly where everyone ran it? I know it fenders but how fastened it and what not.

Thanks,
D

Link me some I can find alot of pictures but not extensive on how it was ran? What size wire from trunk? Also would it be best to do a T block for starter and for main battery feed in engine bay or split off battery run to lines to front of car?

i moved mine (an odyssey 545) under the front passenger fender, in front ot the tire. i grounded it there. ran a seperate cable to the starter and to the fusebox. its AMAZING!!!! looks hott too with the wire tuck.

Ive seen people mount their fuse box in their glove box, under the dash, etc. I plan on mounting my fuse box in the glove box. It would be the best place IMO.

i moved mine to the trunk..i used 1 gauge wire with a fuse as well and im using terminals up front in the bay.

Awesome well i went with some #2 wire from lowes kinda stiff wire but 30 feet for like 35$ cant beat that. Should be plenty heavy enough. So should i do 1 ground clear to front and 1 positive all the way to front? I went ahead got a yellow top Optima Friend works auto zone got the hook up for 78$ for the optima What is the best thing to mount it in the truck? And should i ground it in the trunk? Let me know thanks.

No need to run the ground all the way up front, just ground it in the trunk, only need to run the pos.

yup. you can bolt the fuse box up beneath the glove box and still have plenty of leg room

bend the stock bracket and bolt it up with the bolt hoding the hinge on for the glove box

get a battery box..they sell them at walmart..i believe its about 14 feet for the positive..and about 3 depending where you want to mount it for the ground..dont forget the fuse, dont want to cause a fire or anything

mounted my fusebox under the passenger dash..behind the glove box..perfect fit
