To bump this back up, the battery can be anywhere in the trunk right? The spare tire well is just a 4th gen thing correct?
I am thinking of just switching the N20 bottle into the spare well and mounting the battery on the trunk floor. |
^^^ why... i think it looks nicer having the bottle gback there than just some ugly battery... or are you trying to hide it!!! sneaky sneak!OHH I KNOW!! GET A CROSS BAR AND MOUNT THE BOTTLE ON THAT (i dont think you were there for that ordeal) haha... im running front mount batt for a while till i get all the bugs worked out ...
|
I just am not liking the battery in the spare area... it didn't work for me. So I am looking at other options.
Def not trying to hide my bottle, any one that knows the car knows its there... |
just needs to be a sealed box and meet NHRA requirements where enforced. mine is going on the driver side. also, needs to be mounted to the frame rail to meet NHRA req. and is a good idea IMO.
crossbar would work too :lol: |
Actually, my fab guy always mounted battery on the passenger side. He told me that is where u want the weight because when the engine "torque's over" it helps "preload the suspension during launch.I don't know ur plans 4 ur car but if ur plannin' on any track time u might want 2 reconsider. Mine is in the spare tire area, used 2 b in the center of trunk area, but relocated so we can use trunk area 4 a fuel cell and weight box.

it can be on the trunk floor, but you need a certain thickness plate on the bottom side that attaches to all mounting hardware.... (basically cut to the same size as the bottom of the battery box, and used as a spacer when bolting down the box |

isn't it fun pulling the trigger? ordered a blue box, summit pull kill switch, and some MONSTER WIRE. i'll post pics when i do it. :)
|
Note that in order to be NHRA legal the battery box must mount to the frame rails, not just the floor pan. Depending on Tech you could be rejuected?
You really should use a proper mount such as the BMR which is designed for the F-body. |

this thing? i'll let matt explain that.... i do plan on mounting to the frame rail. i am going to see if i have room on the passenger side since that would be more beneficial. if not, i have plenty of room on the driver side to mount it correctly on the frame. mike pointed out though, you can have the box tied into the frame with a plate that meets nhra specs. |
I am gonna stay out of this.
:( |
well metal and electricity........conduct :wink:
plus with that style mount, you tech need a bulkhead for the trunk area or you can get creative too. this moroso box is cheap enough, legal, plastic, and vents outside the car. works for me! :D |
How do you plan on mounting that sweet blue box you bought?

Where do you plan to drill the hole for the kill stick? tail or burger? |

And you still need to wire in the alt if you wanna be legit... |
I still have my old center panel, so I was thinking of putting a hole it that

I was also thinking about drilling a hole in the black panel I have on the car, and just getting a black plug for it when the stick is out. or maybe cover it with a gloss black decal :shifty:
|
both could work, quite nice too i bet.
|
Yea, should look nice. Sweet, two guinea pigs. :)
|
if I relocate to the trunk, will Atco give me crap for not having a kill switch located outside?
|
Hahaha, is that a joke?
Atco just asks you to sign a paper, wear a helmet, and go go go. |
