i just finished installing my hks GTII, car was pretty much sitting for about a month, anyways my battery is relocated to the trunk with a amp kit, and everytime i connect the battery again that fuse blows

does anyone know what it could be? all i really did was take out the buschur kit and install the hks

if the turbo outlet clamps is too close to the starter could that be it?

frustrating..and these 100amp fuse arent cheap

 

A wastegate won't make you blow an 100 amp fuse. Check to see if the line is grounded with a volt meter or use a test light on the hot side of the battery and ground on the line coming to the battery to see if it is open or has rubbed the insulation off.

 

its not the waste gate, the j-pipe on the turbo is somewhat rubbing the starter, could that cause my fuse to blow?

right now its like giving me crazy sparks when im trying to plug the battery back in...ugh i hate electrical problems

 

how do i use a test light? sorry im super noob when it comes to electrical stuff

If your not great at electrical stuff, then are you sure it is such a good idea to be working on your electrical components?

With sparks and constantly popping fuses that means that the electrical connection is grounded from somewhere. Is the positive charge cable of the wires you ran back to the trunk stripped and contacting the body? It most likely is an issue like that since you are seeing sparks as soon as you even try to hook the battery up, you are not even cranking it to run current through half of the motor yet...

 

should i just try to hook up the battery at the front of the car to test?

Im just surprised since i didnt messed with the battery cables at all, i just unhooked it so my car wouldnt die from sitting so long, ill give it a shot

Thanks

appreciate further input so i can i get my car running soon!
