Battery Relocation, GT4 Style Options

[DanTheMan]

What a stupid place for a battery toyota.

I need to move it to the boot or swap it with the existing filter, illd prefer to do this:



Question is, how do i relocate it? I know i might need extra very think wire, but how do i hard mount the battery in the new location?

Heres what i want to achieve in the end:

In the sticky someone said the +power went to a "power box," whats that? Also how/where do you run the wire from the truck (lets say in a vert.) to the engine bay, would it be safe to run it under the car? Are you able to have a grounding kit still if the battery is moved, and where do u ground?

You cannot run the cable under the car - this is a very bad idea indeed. A good route might be down the passenger side if you don't have audio there. Else, down the center of the car near the handbrake cable but it will beed to be securely fixed along its length.

You can still have a specific grounding kit but the effect won't be as great (if you believe the hype about these anyway). Ground to any convenient chassis location then run an additional grounding wire from the -ve terminal to any convenient grounding location in the trunk. You'll still need the -ve wire running the full length front-to-back for best effect.
