Re-wire battery to the back

Does anyone have an idea on how to do this or the difficulty? I would like to move some **** out of my engine bay...


Sincerely classy,

Daeity

why move the fuse box? probably not a good idea considering that the longer wiring would provide additional resistance to each and every line .

Well there isnt much space as is and if you remove the battery then you get that block. But i need enough room for a turbo, intercooler, and hoses.
If i shouldnt move the fuse then what else can i "relocate"?

People have gone FI without relocating anything. That being a lot of people relocate the battery to the trunk and that provides enough room. Another option is turning the ECU on it's side.

yeah see i want thinking about relocating the battery, that then opens the front between the fuse box and other thingy on the left side. More room for turbo to breathe = better performance

Moving the battery does nothing for the turbo unless you are locating it where the battery is and i doubt based on your questions, you are building a custom turbo setup.

sounds like you need to delve into the FI section if you are really serious about turboing. you will get ripped to shreds if you keep posting threads on things that you think will work (and probably have already been done/tried)

not being rude bro just a suggestion there is a lot of info on the site

If you go turbo the factory intake box is gone, that leaves plenty of room for the intake. I'm not saying relocating the battery is a bad idea, it is a good idea. But starting a thread on a topic that has been detailed many times is lame. If you are going to go turbo then you need to do A LOT of research or you will regret it unless you have deep pockets and a qualified builder (not a friend who installed a blow off valve once) in your area.

but how will you learn if you dont experience it for yourself? and wtf does FI stand for??

Any response is a good one, doesnt mean i hate you but means that your opinion is takin into condensation. But the point of the first question is has anyone moved the battery and the difficultly of doing so....

Now what we have here is a failure to communicate.....

Aiming to turbo your car without knowing what FI stands for is a sure sign that someone ain't done all their assigned readin yet......

(and taking opinions into condensation means you may never be able to achieve full course credit.)

Oh my...

lots of searching is in your future... hopefully.

otherwise, you are better off handing the car over to a performance tuning shop that knows what they're doing.

yeah i get that i understand...derp think about more than just putting a turbo in and more of the Bonus of having a batt in the back. Ok Sherlock i asked the first question which has kinda been answered... and thanks for judging me for a little kid!

But thank you for letting me know that you are a judgmental ***** and should be treated as such

PS. As a first time modder i feel like this little douche bag has an ego that should be taken care of.

Question is stated above, Douche/***** insults me for the idea of the turbo...grats dude your bad ***.

You learn by doing your homework. The answer to your first question has been addressed and answered many times in several different threads (is there an echo in here?). Had you searched and read, you would not have started this thread.

What the hell are you talking about? Derp? Little kid? did you quote the wrong post?

I may be judging (based on your posts this far) you but I'm not calling you a little kid, I don't discriminate between old noobs and young ones. I'm just trrying to help you bro, you are so random.

really? you really think that i care what age you think i am?
the way you talk makes you look kinda stupid and arrogant

and for the question being answered how come you didnt correct the second guy? i mean i searched and searched and found that it is possible and i wanted to know if anyone HERE has done it; to measure the amount of time it takes and if its a pain in the ***... i hate forums and people like you are the sole reason why i do. gtfo your high horse and talk to me like im normal and your not an *** then we can have an adult discussion of things

good day

I understand this, and yes that comment was uncalled for, but as a mod do you like being talked to the way i was talked to? I asked a simple question and was told to look at the FI section, need money, and a builder that hasnt put in a BOV once.

Im generally a nice guy just dont like being judged as a kid who needs a job, a mechanic, and put down.

I can't even see where you think he somehow insulted you in the post you quoted.

Either way if you use the google link someone posted above you can find the DIY very quick. Not like it needs to be a SII DIY, its probably the exact same steps and if somethings a bit different you can get the general idea from the post.
