Which FMIC intercooler does not require batt relocation
 
Yes I did a search but didn't find much, but then again my search skills suck.

Which FMICs in the market does not require you to relocate the stock battery?
I have a yellowtop battery already and I don't want to buy the odyssey
What I want is a setup that doesn't sacrifice a/c power steering etc, and keep the battery where it is.. (Least customization possible)

I beleive the Blitz has a kit to turn the battery sideways and requires a 51R or similar size battery. I beleive HKS and Apexi are no longer being sold. That would beave Greddy and maybe ARC but i'm not familiar with those. ...damn, my car is dirty! :shock:

I'm not sure what FMIC's would require battery relocation. It's mostly the medium & larger SMIC's that do.

The GReddy kit also CAN leave a battery in the stock location but you modify the battery tray and go to a smaller battery. I do not think there is a FMIC kit that will allow you to use a large battery like what you have.

I see, thanks for the input I just bought the yellow top optima and don't really feel like getting rid of it since the car starts up pretty good with it..

No worries... I just purchased (well a few months ago now) one of the GReddy FMIC's. I am just going to be relocating a small battery (but one with the same cranking power as a stock battery) to the passenger side bin. I will be using the westco so I do NOT have to hack up the bin, only need a few small holes for wires and mounts. Really it is not that hard to relocate, it just takes time. I see your point with just buying a new battery, but really when you start getting into larger IC's whether front mount, V-mount, or large SMIC's you unfortuneately cannot use that size battery anymore...
