This airbox set up

[medici999]

What are peoples opinions on this set up?
Is it a pain to relocate the battery to the boot?

Thanks

 

[Sir_Dave]

Its a variation on the Clio Cup car setup from what i recall, JMS James runs a similar setup.

Not hard to relocate, you just need a load of battery wire & some patience

 

[medici999]

Thanks for the response dave.
The battery simply goes in the boot then i take it?

 

[Sir_Dave]

Effectively yes

PM Nick172cup.

He's moved his battery and I'm sure he'd be happy to help.

 

[Cookson]

You will need a batter box if you are moving it into the cabin IIRC

 

[medici999]

Is this airbox set up worth moving the battery to the boot though?

 

[Budgie]

Is it worth every answering your thousands of mindless questions?

 

[medici999]

Yes! lol

 

[Sir_Dave]

Yes! lol

As i'm kind, i've created a page for you that will yield all the answers, to all of your questions :star:

Thanks Dave!!

No gains, hassle in moving the battery. Worth it...NAW!

Has anyone done a guide on moving the battery so a reprobate like myself can follow it? I'd like to make some room in the engine bay for an idea I've had...

I'd still f**k it up.

Go to these guys... 2 mins down the road from you, "should" cost you around £25 - £30 for all the cabling, connectors etc.

@ Medici; So this is why you pm'd me for my picture. You're welcome ... ?

it was a definate change for the better to throttle response, actually gained a little torque ; flattened my torque curve noticably where there used to be a small dip.
Was on the same RR .

Funny how people can state there are no gains to be had with this without ever having tried ?
I copied this setup from a cup-racer and my guess is that these people use setups that work.

Who cares about looks when they're hidden under the bonnet haha, it needs to be FUNCTIONAL under there, that's all

I can back this up also, even though I used a 45deg elbow the throttle response was much more crisp


Should really put a dry cell battery in a car though due to fumes coming off usual battery

You can fit it all in the engine bay if you buy a smaller race battery.
