Battery Relocation Help
I am going to be doing this soon and wanted to know what hole do you put the wire through? You have the one on the pass side for the ECU, but what else is there? What have others done?
when i ran mine in the back it was because my FMIC piping was in the way, i routed it differently then the stock soarers. What i did was run it into the firewall grommet for the ecu, pulled it all the way down, pulled the carpet up along the edge on the passanger side (where the plastic trim meets the carpet below the door) and there will be space under there to lay a 0 gauge wire. Then remove the passanger rear inner quarter panel, and back seat. there will be another rubber grommet where the back of the seat was. then open your trunk and pull the lining down to expose your gas tank, and pull the rest of the cable through.
make sure you use really good solder and flux when connecting the new cable to the old one. also i suggest using weather resistant liquid tape with a piece of heat shrink over top once its dry (you have to put the heat shrink tube on before you solder it of course. then to top it off wrap in some real electrical tape. thats what i did

for your stock ground cable, your going to need to flatten it down and then connect it to some where metal on the frame in the front. and then in the rear make a small 1/2ft ground cable and connect it metal in the trunk.
for both make sure you take a wire brush or something to get the paint off the spot where youll be bolting the ground too
