put the batt in the trunk. putting the batt there seems soo unsafe imo.
all, but learning how to realign the flux capacitor while going back to a Honda ecu..
seen my spelling right? LOL!
Hell if my gramer and spelling are good I have nothing to fear. LOL...
their are noticeable differences, and I'll tune you in later.

and did u really not thing about the IC pipes not fitting under the bumper???
Sorry i was buzzed last night.ur explanation is bolded.
and did u really not thing about the IC pipes not fitting under the bumper???
I knew they would fit, but what i really wanted to do was slide the intercooler under there too.
The bumper cover fit's over the pipes nice.You cant even tell that they are there with the bumper cover on.
why would you not put the battery there?
I removed everything that was attached to the stock manifold including the black box. I then ran new wires to the map sensor from the firewall area to the gm 3bar map sensor that is mounted under the manifold. you still need the iat,map,throttle position and the idle air control valve.. I think i am missing something though.

As you can see in the pic there are 2 spots i brazed together.
The spot in the middle of the car came out pretty good except I didn't Polish it enough. On the drivers side I had to braze it on the bend.
Let me explain. That particular bend was a U bend, and you know U bends are not perfectly round .
the brazing actually works very well, not the prettiest thing till you sand it smooth and Polish it. I purposely tried to break it and it held up fine.
I picked the stuff up at harbor freight and spent about $20 for the rods and polishing kit. Was it worth it. I think so.
Because in a wreck you either have a 60 Lb projectileor a damaged battery. Youd have to hit somethin pretty hard to hit it where you have it mounted, and i assume how you have it mounted is pretty solid. I think if you smacked it hard enough to damage the battery the battery would be your last worry anyway.
On those pipes, just be sure you won't have leaks.
Yes sir, The battery is still in the process of being mounted and will be solid.Because in a wreck you either have a 60 Lb projectile
On those pipes, just be sure you won't have leaks.
When all is said and done i am going to pressure check all the piping and intercooler as one.
lol @ u being buzzed.
mani sounds like good stuff, i wanna do that.
as far as the batt, i dono i guess its a personal thing, i really dont know why but i dont think its safe there. but do wut u gotta do! ur car is gonna be sick!
Right on
Remember that i dont drive it all that much, so it should be fine.
true.. well more power too ya!!! i wanna see u hit like 3453058320million hp wit ur set up.
all 3 inch piping?
Yes sir, I went with all 3". I know it's an overkill.

How far off the ground is that? Not that it matters, just curious.
The bottom of the tray is 7.25" . The front cross member is lower than the battery tray.
