Battery Relocation for evo 8 wire type questions
I was planing on using welding wire for the battery relocation. I was specifically thinking of using 2 gauge wire like this. Will this hold up the car is mostly driven in the warmer months with a couple starts during the winter in the Northeast?
Also I think I am gonna call around to welding shops to see what they have to maybe pick it up locally, what type of gauge should I ask for? I am using the evo x distribution block upfront for a clean install with a 150 amp inline fuse close to the battery box
thanks

I eould go with 1/0 awg to reduce voltage drop as much as possible. You could run two 2awg leads instead. I think you can get welding wire in a single 2 conductor jacket. Welding wire itself is fine, less strands but just as durable and you'll add split loom and shrink tubing to protect anyway

Ideally you want no voltage drop . Then factor in current demand and make sure you've got room to upgradr in the future. I have a secomd fuel pump, amps, PC, gauges, ignition amplifier and other items that draw more than stock . Upgrading alternator leads and upgrading / adding grounds help too. I think it makes sense to build in some room for future upgrades or highet demand sincr it can only help now
