are the any DIY or how-to's for the battery relocation? and tips or advice? ive neve ripped apart my interior so im kinda scared? do you have to run both power and ground to the trunk or can you ground the existing ground in the engine bay and ground the battery ground to a good ground in the trunk? and help is greatly appreciated?

 

im not sure if there is any diy or anything but you dnt have to rip apart your interior, take your wipers and windshield cowel off and the wires will be exposed. i am goin to run the wires thru thr firewall were the engine harness connest to the ECU im gona slip it thru the rubber gromet. the negative terminal on the battery has to have a good ground so make sure it does and make sure to use the correct gage wire. i am not sure wat gage is correct if you find out please notify me i am doin the same thing thanks

 

use 2 guage wire or better

 

so you dont have the run a ground all the way the truck? just find a good ground in the engine bay? and the ground on the battery has to be on a good ground in the trunk?

on another subject, i was thinking of doin a wire tuck on that side where is the best place to put the fuse box and the onther little box behind the fuse box?

 

Nope you dont need to run ground all the way back, good ground in engine bay and ground in the trunk for the battery and your good to go. The fuse box tuck i seen a s2000 with it hidden where the windshield washer reservoir would be inside the fender.

you can probably move that small box as well although i have no idea what it is for. The wiper tank will definitely need to be moved or removed up to you though. https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.ph...ic=484358&st=0

Thats the link to the fuse box behind the fender, i also found a couple threads with the fusebox under the blower unit. I have no idea about the Pfab topmount manifold, although it would look really nice without the fusebox and battery there.

 

i dont think im gonna go with the tuck unless i have to move the fuse box. but any tips on where the wire should run through the car holes in the firewall? do i need to take out passenger seat?

 

after looking and thinking. the negative hooked to the battery is attached to the firewall. a previous poster said i could hook that negative wire to a good ground in the engine bay, and a ground from the battery in the trunk to a good ground in the trunk. is that ground wire on the firewall neccessary with a relocation? it seems so be a grounding loop inless you need to ground the firewall to the frame. any help please?

 

If it was me i wouldnt run the power line along the ECU lines without a good wire wrap shield.

Im anal with electrical noise though.
