I'm going to give it a shot, but was after any tips from people who have already done it. I will post pics of the build when I get around to it, but still in the planning stage right now, any help would be great. Cheers !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too concerned about the electrical stuff as I'm an electrician, just worried about the fitment and curious to see what others have done. My boot is already filled so I can't really take it to there. I'm thinking of customing a bracket that bolts into the stock air filter place and wondering if anyone else has attempted this.

A few people have done it if you search through the threads. Not too sure if a full size battery will fit on that side though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem you have with the B series turbos is that when stepping up to a bigger IC the intake piping to throttle body comes out under the passenger headlight and goes right where the battery is!Nizpro have done it but they use an odyssey battery plus there IC exits at the top unlike the rest of the manufacturers plus they use there intake plenum which helps to miss the standard air intake area...PW have a part that relocates the throttle body and passes roughly the same direction as the Nizpro intake so that may be worth looking at!

A few pics if you got'em FINNEY would be great. I was looking at the nizpro kit, but wanted a full sized battery. I was thinking of going with the plazmaman stage 1 kit which wont worry me with the battery, but I might try to make it so it still fits with the process west throttle relocation kit too. I wanna go 4 inch race box intake for better flow and that sweet sweet turbo noise, so one way or another, the battery has gotta go !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY ROD GOT OUT Member 434 Member For: 14y 6m 8d Posted 30/05/12 12:05 PM Share Posted 30/05/12 12:05 PM Doubt there would be any chance of standard battery fitting with throttle body relocation... I moved mine to the boot so I could do the Relocation setup. Still looking for my pics... I stole the idea off another thread here somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
