Hello All
am planning on relocating the battery to somewhere else! Cleaning the engine bay and planning for a turbo on the future.
What is my best choice? the trunk or the back seat area? Pros;/Cons?
I like the idea behind the back seat, but i was told i need to have a cutoff switch externally. best location for the switch? suggestions of how to or any pictures with best routing of wires or kits use.
what you guys did on your rides?
I did a search but nothing on the other rotary section, the aussies link is not working!! are they down? I hope not!
Oh is for my RX-808, thanks,
Andres

 

well my rx3 drag project has it located to the pass side of the trunk and the cutoff switch was unfourtunatly drilled into the tailights just right of the drivers reverse light, but if i had a choice i'd prob take out the lock and use that, just latch the trunk some other way or just take out the reverse lense an put it there or somethin, but that's just me, im picky about doing thing's clean and simple, u can kinda see it in this pic, only clear pic of the rear, sorry no pic's of the trunk

 

Thanks for the Info
I was leaning more for the behind the passeger seat area, I like the idea of placing the switch on the reverse light cover, I have to keep looking for my options....
thanks,
Andres

Oh by the way, thats a good looking car! more picts??

 

I put mine on the passanger side in the trunk. The farther back you can move the weight, the more it offsets the weight in the front, better traction. I put the cutoff switch behind the lisence plate. If you are driving around town, no one can see it, and thus no one will mess with it, but when at the track, remove the lisence plate, and it easily visable. To have it work properly, you have to route the power from the alternator back to the battery, and then feed the car from the battery, through the switch of course. That way, when you flip the switch, the car shuts off. Use big wire.

 

I put mines dead center in the trunk cut off switch is where the key lock is for the trunk

 

behind the back is the best bet ,there r many reenforcement floor plating and it will be wegde between the seat and rear end tunnel.

 

What gage wire?
