Why do people relocated thier batteries to the trunk? Also, what is needed? A little skill of McGuyver or can you just buy a relocation kit?

 

its for weight balancing, the weight of the battery somewhat balances that of the driver. and it moves more weight to the back instead of the front. all you need is a ground, and a connection to the starter and the fuse box. relocation kit is good enough

 

i relocated mine due to having a fmic and wanting a less cluttered engine bay. Mine was made for 40 bucks at a hardware/house supply warehouse.

 

what all would i need to buy in order to do this?

 

wire in battery tie down

God, why dont people search on this forum? Out of all the car forums Ive perused, Ive seen the most moronic questions here..

 

God, what an *******!! WTF is your problem??!! So what he didnt do a search. You have to be a dick about it as if he asked you personaly to answer his question for him.

 

id personally do it just to clean up the engine bay....

 

I had some 4AWG wire laying around, so I thought why not?..

 

I went overboard.
I ran 0AWG from the battery to at distribution block in the engine bay.
From there I ran 0 AWG to the starter, and 4 AWG to the alternater through the fuse box, of course.
