They do it for weight distribution.

 

delete post. found what i was looking for.

 

Only thing I would do is cut the excess threaded rod off, and tape up the connection a little better ( if you haven't already done these)

 

Very nice, this will go on my to do list.

 

No Kidding. I was trying to be subtle. BTW, Your going down the wrong road

 

I did the same thing in my previous EVO. I don't have any pictures of the wiring being re-ran through the fender and the fuse set up before I got rid of the car though. I didn't want to have a bare trunk so I left the carpet.

 

clean install. love the battery box. did this last year but used heavier cable and didnt use a battery box. i also made a bracket where the battery use to be and mounted my fuse link, catch can, and FPR on it. heres a couple pics

 

If you want the engine bay to look cleaner, theres a plastic tab on the left side of the fuse box on the firewall side. Drill a hole in it and mount a threaded bolt and mount the wires to it directly and secure with a nut. Very clean install BTW.

 

Looks good but as others said the battery should be mounted on the right side as the left rear is heavier.

 

Thanks for the complients and suggestions. It didnt really cross my mind to place it on passenger side for weight distribution. All the pics that I seen on here had theirs on the driver side or centered. So I may switch it over there. And yes I did cut down the threaded bolts. I know for sure I will switch to 2 guage wire soon. But for some reason after moving my battery to the trunk, my car only boost 18psi.... So now I have to find out why my car is only boosting 18psi now. Seems like its always something. haha.

 

how much for the batt?

 

nice looking job. real clean. thinking of doing the same soon.

 

any pics on this

 

OP. What did you connect the negative to? I bought 2 gauge wiring and I'm having my buddy make me an aluminum box for it. I've been told the only place to get a real good ground is the block but I'd rather just run it down to my frame or trunk floor. What worked for you?

 

Ground it anywhere to the chassis, just make sure its metal to metal contact (remove all of the paint). I grounded mine to the threads where the RS trunk bar would have mounted to.
