hey peeps, I was just wondering a couple of things:

1. how much should I be paying for (roughly), for a relocation to the boot

2. is it worth it or is it better transfering it to the right hand side of the engine bay and why?

3. what do most people prefer to have today, like the benefits and drawbacks?

Hope to hear back :original:

I'm in the same boat, wanting to relocate to the ute tray. . reccomendations?

Ugur. just put it on the passenger side, you have the space and that way it's still legal

I relocated to the other side of engine bay with a plazmaman relocation kit around $300 I think. I wanted to keep it in the engine bay and I only wanted to run a PW stage 2 kit so it was doable. But if wanting to run a PW stage 3 kit with the bigger piping I think the battery has to be moved to the boot.

The PW stage 3 kit fits fine with their battery relocation kit. It sits at a 45 degree angle to allow for the bigger pipes but it ain't cheap.

It probably is cheaper, but personally I don't like the idea of a battery or fuel system in my boot, I don't know about the legal side of it I'm probably just paranoid. I'm all for doing things myself, if you got access to the gear/tools it wouldnt be hard to knock up your own brackets for the other side of the bay or relocate it to the boot. I was just lazy and bought the kit lol

Fair enough, this was a few years ago when I went through it all and PW only had the battery relocation to under the guard so I went a plaz engine bay battery kit and a PW stage 2 cooler kit. But good to hear it all fits now.

Ve commodores have the battery in the boot. I think all the kits on the market are pricey for what they are! Try make your own bracket. I was going to buy a factory bracket from ford and see if I could spot weld it in. Not many diy guys when it comes to this mod

hmmm to be honest I am tempted to make my brackets and stuff but I dont have enough time :(. I have Exams and cant afford to spend time on it where as I could be studying. Has anyone made their own brackets in the forums?
