I Put My Battery in the Trunk

- Today I decided to relocate my battery to the truck to prepare for my Civic’s new Vtec motor. This has been one of the last steps I’ve needed to complete to be able to install the motor. It wasn’t too difficult of a job, but I decided not to share the link to the kit that I used because the kit did not arrive as advertised. In all of the pictures on the eBay listing, the wires are assembled. It was frustrating for me that they arrived the way they did. I paid $80 for this kit so that it would be easy. Unfortunately I played myself. With that said, I am happy with the finished product and I think this is going to be a great mod to clean up the engine bay. Now I just need to clean up my nasty interior haha.

Crazy timing, was just googling how to do this for my EK
much prefer the old vlog style bro, this style of video feels more cold and not as engaging. Either way keep up the good work on the car.
I’m experimenting bois.
I’m going to finish off the rest of the EG build in this style then prob switch back.
@@boosted_john Honestly I always like a mix. :)
@parkerbethke Keep in mind guys a channel has to have two types of content. Videos that perform well short term to keep subs interested and evergreen videos that keep getting views over time so the channel can sustain itself. Not saying you aren't being supportive, just that we gotta do what we can to stay afloat. :)
Like just how you do things! Keep the work up and running! 🙌🚗
Nice work! I liked the hammer to the crimping tool, hah. Going to give you the best grip. Really gotta make sure those copper lugs are crimped hard. My one critique is that you should definitely clean the paint off of the spare tire mount where the ring terminal makes contact. you want bare metal to bare metal, even if the bolt is bare metal and is touching threads. Solid grounding is super important!
Sounds good!
That positive cable looks a little small for going that distance. Remember distance comes into play when sizing wire/cable. As for that ground, not good, but I am sure that is temporary.
I’m going to be making a few modifications to the set up.
Pick-n-Pull near me charges $4.69 for a battery cable. Find a BMW with a rear mount battery and pull that long, thick battery cable. Bargain!!!
What’s name part in firewall red color?
I know this may be a stupid question but why did you mount the remote battery cables negative on positive? I asked this because I see some kits with plate with 2 screws one for negative and one for positive. Wouldn't it be an issue if you had to jump the battery?
Where i can find that plastic terminal post?
Negative ground I would did in a different location but dope vid
Nice work! TFS. Xoxo 🤗
What gauge of wires are they?🔥🔥
I’d still like to know where I can get a kit like this I’ve looked on eBay I can’t find anything thanks for any feedback!
Nice ! I’m thinking I can make my own kit with OFC - 0 gauge car audio cable would be much thicker as well
You definitely can!
Sorry but late to the party haha, I was just woundering if you knew the name of that piece you screwed into the firewall is called? That holds the two wires?
Ikr he didn’t even put it the link in disc, like he wants us to struggle
@@landmarkboulders6226 hahahaha 💯 agree! we need buy link asap 🤣✌️ please and thanks
power distribution post i think
What is the kit called please
Super legit video
Yup gotta get the fattest fing wire available or that you can fit every foot of cable cost’s you 15 amps 10 ft *15 is 150 amps you lose just from a simple location swap UNLESS YOU put your starter closer to the battery
I have a few constructive criticisms for you never ground on paint that battery should be twice that size being that far from the starter bet it dont start if it does its just barely maybe with a jump die electric in the heat shrink will waterproof it soldiering make a much more permanent connection sealed 100% you can do both dieelectric then shrink it 💴 that’s money dude
what is the + and - wire diameter?
the black wires u put on that post one went over by the fuse box to be grounded where does the other one go to???
starter
bro,red cable diameter?
where does the other end of the black cable go
In the engine bay? I'm assuming the starter
Size of your cable sir
❤️
Simple!
what does pcea mean?

Commit
Execute
Attain
@@boosted_john ty John. Big fans of your videos in ny
Bro make a roll cage and put those rear black panels on the civic
Bruh idk how to make a roll cage lol
That's not a good grounding point.
Why
Brayan Garcia thanks for explaining. I was genuinely wondering.
