the 51R is a smaller battery than stock, typically used on hondas, because of its terminal locations it will fit in the stock area of our cars, and is about 10lbs lighter
the concept of using this battery came up because the larger intercoolers would rub on the bigger batteries, so you had to either get a smaller battery or move your battery to the back somewhere (bin, hatch, et)
turbojeff made custom trays for the 51R a while back:
