I am currently installing a Greddy 3 Row FMIC on my Fd and is wondering if I it is necessary for me to relocate the battery? I have a yellow top optima battery, which i sort of small. If I do need to relocate the battery, can I instead use a small miata battery? Thanks for all your help guys/gals.

 

Yes you would need to move it to the back.

You can also get a smaller battery, such as the Odyssey PC680 that I use for my Blitz intercooler.

 

where can i get one of those little batteries from?

 

take one from a honda or acura car... i got mine from an integra...

 

just installed a greddy 2 row. i got a pc680 odyssey w/ auto terminals for $95. only 3 inches think. 370 cold cranking amps.

 

We use those batteries a lot with the front mount, but make sure you dont let the car sit for long or that battery dies quick.

ok..thanks

 

whered you get it with the auto terminals?

 

You can relocate a man sized battery to one of the bins for less than $100, still have lots of AMPS and clean up the engine bay. Install only takes about 2 hours once you have all the parts. Many threads here abouit it but I like Jimlabs write-up the best.

 

i'm in the middle of getting mine in, and i was wondering if you had to modify the stock radiator location, i'm using a koyo rad, and right now, i think its going to have to be changed to go straight up and down, not slanted. anyone else have this problem?

anyone have pics of it being installed?

 

i bought a batt for a miata and put it in the cubby hole behind drivers seat, it works great. yes you will have to relocate batt for fmic
