Battery and ECU relocation

[kev 3dr]

Im thinkin about relocating the battery to the boot and lieing the ecu down in its place so i can directly fit the air filter to the throttle body like the challenge cup cars !!!

Has anybody done this and with what results you had ??

Suppose I might as well add my relocation pics...

You know where I am if you need a hand mate!!

Lee where have you put your air filter and is there enough cable a room to lie the ecu down ??

PS keepin my car trimmed for now as its the winter hack too !!!

 

[LeeJSA]

I've got a Pipercross foam induction filter where the battery was mate....I'd imagine theres enough cable to lie the ECU down...why you'd want to is another matter though! LOL! I've left mine upright & mounted my breather on the front of it like so...

Ive noticed on some challenge cars the filter is directly on to the throttle body and not sure if the ecu will be in the way if i do this ???

 

[LeeJSA]

But yours isnt a challenge car.....especially with you in it!! LMAO!!!

I did this for Quade the other day on his cup. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=368676

To get a bit more space by the ecu you can take out the lower bolt nearest the engine and move the hole bracket back towars the bulkhead.

^^That looks like a great set-up, best of both worlds! Good work, as always, Mr Burp!! :star:

Mine's lay down and battery in the boot. Different inlet though so you cant really gauge how much room they'll be.....

Kev i wanted to do this, Filter straight off TB and yes the ECU does get in the way, i`m going to have to relocate my battery to the boot i reckon and lie ECU down.
