Relocation: Wire!

Alright I am relocating my battery and can't for the life of me remember the place I was told to go to purchase the wire needed. Also what gauge is suggested and should I keep the ground location or ground it in the trunk area?

Are you going to do it to NHRA specs?

0 Gauge

0ga and 2-4ga for the fusebox

1 ought, and use the same size for ground, and find a good solid chassis member to ground too

Come see me at NAPA tomorrow, we sell it by the foot, if i remember correctly. We also sell cheap battery box's if you want.

if its being mounted in a hatch back it needs to have a steel or aluminum box mounted to a frame member with 3/8 hardware and have a vent

correct, also you need an external battery cutoff switch. Its alot of work Corey, but ask Clark at work he did his the correct way on his talon

Hey, I work all tomorrow but next week some time I will stop by at NAPA on my lunch break.

I'm thinking it'd be best to do it by regulations just to be same that way I can never be turned away from an event or something. Is there anywhere with the regulations stated that I could check off to make sure everything is done to a T.

Also should I just use the existing ground then or ground it in the trunk(yes, it is a coupe) Also mounting it to the trunk just drill holes and bolt it? Meaning I will have to drop the gas tank to finish it off?

you can mount it wherever you want. and you run the shortest ground possible.

it has to be mounted to chassis rail.
