Battery Relocation to Front of Engine Bay Thread - Can't Find It

[caister]

I know i've seen on here somewhere some pictures of when someone moved the battery to the front of the engine bay so that they could run a filter straight off the T/B without having to run additional battery cable.

I've been looking for it for about 3 hours now has anyone got it saved or know what thread it is?!

Cheers

Was it not a smaller odyssey battery which was laid on
it's side on top of the gearbox mount?

A standard battery?

So moving a 15kg weight further forward,?

Id get a race battery and lay it down on the battery tray mate,easy option and as Jay has pointed out will not move any more weight forward

Yeah it was a standard battery. Didn't really think about the weight shift TBH. I've worked out that I can do it by moving the stock battery 10cm forward (in its tray) but I need to try and work out what to do with the ECU. Hence looking for inspiration.

I'm not sure I can afford a race battery (though this is ideally what I want). What one would I need taking into account I have the front speakers amped and a small sub in the boot (only listen to stereo with engine running anyway)?

PC925 or Racing 30 imo

Similar weight to a stock battery just smaller and non spillable.


Not really worth it for the gains from straight inlet tbh, ie: little to none

 

[caister]

Yeah too much money for little to no gains especially seeing they are no lighter. I might just try to make a better heat shield for my ITG open filter then as although the one ive bodged together works it looks crap!

Mine really improved with the straight inlet !

Layed the ecu on it's side after removing the bracket from it.

battery went to the spare-wheel compartiment i'm afraid
