azzah Member 26 Member For: 8y 9m 21d Posted 13/09/16 04:25 AM Share Posted 13/09/16 04:25 AM Got a family member that runs a fabrication business so looking to get him to make up a turbo side intake and air box. I don't really want to relocate the battery so was thinking about a mini battery. I'm sure this has been done before so was wondering what model odyssey battery is recommended that will fit in that space and still fit a pod filter. Also with the stock fg turbo am I better going with a 4 inch or 3 inch intake. Have stock cooler pipes at the moment but will most likely upgrade them but don't see myself upgrading the turbo at any point Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92433-turbo-side-intake-and-odyssey-battery/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any smaller and the battery will be far too small Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92433-turbo-side-intake-and-odyssey-battery/#findComment-1611505 Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzah Member 26 Member For: 8y 9m 21d Posted 13/09/16 08:15 AM Author Share Posted 13/09/16 08:15 AM (edited) Yeah Looking at that it would be a tight fit and plazmaman only do the kit for the ba/bf so guessing the angles don't work right for the FG so perhaps I will just relocate the battery. So guess my only unanswered question is am I better off getting a 3 inch intake on the stock turbo rather then a 4 inch intake. mods feel free to change the topic to something like 3 inch intake vs 4 intake Edited 13/09/16 08:20 AM by azzah Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92433-turbo-side-intake-and-odyssey-battery/#findComment-1611525 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Fg look real neat with the battery on the other side imo. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92433-turbo-side-intake-and-odyssey-battery/#findComment-1611536 Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzah Member 26 Member For: 8y 9m 21d Posted 13/09/16 09:21 AM Author Share Posted 13/09/16 09:21 AM This might not be the case for the BA and BF but looking at some premade kits for the FG to get some ideas and the pics I see for 4 inch kits all have aftermarket cooler pipes. Is there insufficient clearance for a 4 inch pipe under the stock FG hot side. this kit is 3 inch and that says its specifically made for the stock cooler pipes, eBay sale here they do a 4 inch kit but says it doesn't suit stock cooler pipes eBay sale here and plazmaman kit also says you have to replace the hotside to fit their 4 inch kit So perhaps I will have no choice but to get him to fab up a 3 inch pipe Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92433-turbo-side-intake-and-odyssey-battery/#findComment-1611546 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be cheaper than that kit. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92433-turbo-side-intake-and-odyssey-battery/#findComment-1611547 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen prices for performance parts like these. I know there's a lot of r&d in it but not at that price point.
