Hey Kyle, this is the Market place where people sell stuff, so you should post this in the General section. Don't worry a moderator will move it. :thumbup:

I think you need to make sure the ground is connected to the body and that the battery is sitting on an insulated pad. Also, I believe you will need to run thick wire to the starter but I am not sure. Good luck, and welcome to the 3geez site! :)

You can try to search at the top,

here are some I found

sorry bout that. i usually post only in the market place, but oh well. ok i ordered my kit lastnight. should be getting to my work in the morning. now. anybody now the best way to wire that fuse block, as in too come from the battery to the fuse block then out the back of it down to the starter.???? but that throws and big *ss ? cause on the stock positive cable it goes from the battery then splits going to the starter and to the fuse box. i dont know...

Why not just run your two main battery cables from rear-to-front to an isolator block/isolated connectors & then hook up your existing cable ends to that instead???

hey, im in the middle of this too cuz i just installed my CAI and dont want to jack with making the battery fit. pluse i wanted to do this anyway.

SO EVERYONE POST PICS OF THERE SETUP PLEASE :D

this is what i did. last year when i moved the battery to the trunk. i got the kit from Summit and for $45 they had everything i needed. THe positve cable was long enough to run it thru the pass side and thru the firewall.

THe kit was supplied with two eye ends. U know the ends with the circle in them? Well i used it on the end that goes to the engine bay and i bolted the stock battery holder with the red rubber cap directly onto the summit cable eye. It was a snug fit. Then i wrapped it with the insulation/electrical tape. And used the white plastic guides that come with the wire to hold that part to the box frame down near the firewall.

Ill take a pic tom and let u guys see how it looks. Its so far down that u can see it but from the glance, u cant.

I ran the positive cable from the battery to the starter, and put the cable that used to go from the starter to the fuse box on top of it. the positive cable runs under the rear seats (its an LXi hatch, so you can take the seats out pretty easily), under the carpet along the passenger's door, and threw the firewall. for the negative cable, i found a place in the trunk, and sanded the paint off, and then screwed it down to the floor of the trunk. just make sure the battery is secured in the back, or else it'll start moving around when you hit some bumps.

that's the same reason that i'm moving mine back there is cause with that supra intake it's right in the damn way when i put the intake on. so right now i've got it going out and straight down.

but anyway, got to work this morning and i looked in my transfers from little rock and to my suprise i couldn't find it so i looked at my paper work and i was looking through still couldn't find it listed. i finially found it and it's on back order. who knows how long it will be before i get it. i just might order the one from summit.

those are summit boxes. I dont know why that seller has it on his store as his own. And its 7 bux expensive too. Summit costs $43 now and they got free shipping.
