No specific kit, just a universal one will do. The summit one is nice.

 

looks good i used the aluminum battery box. i love it. ive had this battery box in every car ive ever owed lol, ill post pics later.

 

3.5 years and never used rear wiper fluid. My ugly black box kit was from Summit, around $100, came with everything except 150 amp circuit breaker. Chose this kit because of price and 1 gauge cable. Some updated pics., a little cleaner looking.

 

i never did trust mini battery kits so this is on my list. nice work brO

 

Looks good, actually just did mine today with the same kit from summit

My trunk is striped wright now so doesn't look as good as your's but in same location. Wen't through 2 of the stupid mini batt.s in a year and said f-it.

 

OH BTW what did you use in engine bay for positive connections, looks good.

 

Thanks for the comps. everyone. I just connecte the 1 gauge cable that came with the kit to the stock distribution block and put it in the red box mounted on the firewall. Didn't need to sever anything would be easy to convert back to stock.

 

That is clean, really like the VII tails too, good work guys.

 

where did you get this red distribution box?

 

Good old Lowes, in the electrical section. They are blue, painted mine red with high temp. paint.

 

A heads up to anyone who has or is thinking about relocating the battery to the trunk. I discovered the hard way that there are not very many good ground poiints for the battery. I had one that worked fine then a week later randomly had a no start issue ( I posted a thread on here for it). I used some threaded holes on the trunk sides, and while it may work for some for a while, its not the best. Make sure you at least scrape the paint to get a better contact. The best ground I have found imo is the spare tire 17mm bolt hole. Its not the prettiest place to mount your ground to, but from looking around back there during my install it is the best place, imo. Just thought I would throw this out there if any trunk mounted battery guys start having issues.

 

looks good but was there a reason the small battery wouldnt work? its alot easier to put it in at pretty much everything clears with it so was just wondering!

 

how many amps is that circuit breaker rated for?

 

I just have to add to this thread that I've seen a lot of issues with relocating battery to trunk mainly from buying pre-fabbed kits with 4ga wire. Seems to be a lot of issued with battery melting or starting on fire. I did the relcation 10 years ago in my Ford Focus and I'm still running the same Optima red top in that car to this day with the battery in the trunk. I went to a welding shop and bought 00 arc welding wire and got a distribution block from a stereo shop. The system has worked flawless and my ground point in the trunk is just a rear seat bolt that was back there and I grinded off all the paint down to the steel. I'll do the same thing shortly in the Evo and will use minimum 1gauge welding wire which you can get in some of the summit racing kits and then probably a 200amp breaker.

 

Actually, those are 5/6 taillights so either he has a converted Mirage like I'm doing or a real JDM Evo 4-6.
