Evo 8 battery relocation confirmation questions
I have looked through the countless battery relocation posts and just need some confirmation on how I am gonna go about this/if I have everything to do this job.
Basically I am going the evo X fusible link route for the clean install
The parts that I have are as follows:
-Evo X fusible link/cover and joint wiring
-Bracket to mount the Evo X fusible link soon to be made
-25 ft 0 gauge wire (25 ft because thats all I can find on amazon and its $1 per foot)
-Wire loom
-Taylor battery box
-Terminals
-250 AMP inline fuse that is gonna be about 2 feet front the battery box in the trunk
Is there anything else I would need for this install?
I also plan to post installation pictures and a how to thread to add to the countless battery relocation threads on here

Some things to think about. If you are going through the firewall or any metal then you will need a grommet for the hole you make. I would also consider using a protective wrap for the wire, this place has nice stuff https://www.wirecare.com/category/braided-sleeving. Think about how your going to secure the wire . Your probably going to want a ton of zip ties. Do you have the tools to crimp 0 gauge? How are you going to ground the battery to the chassis? There are some good videos about adding large chassis grounds, especially if you search for things like "Big 3 upgrade".

personally I recommend getting a circuit breaker as opposed to just an inline fuse makes cutting power to the car worlds easier and if someone you do something to short it you simple just have to reset it vs replacing fuses
