slick Posted May 18, 2004 Report Posted May 18, 2004 Any tips on doing this? I know mine are new, but hell, might as well relocate them with the extra time that I have now. Any suggestions on where to relocate them too are taken into consideration. Quote
Brian P Posted May 18, 2004 Report Posted May 18, 2004 A couple here have relocated it to the trunk to save weight in the front and add more in the rear. That doubles the weight Quote
per0781 Posted May 18, 2004 Report Posted May 18, 2004 The people to talk to for that are patgizz and brian89gp. Sorry for the other people I didn't mention. Quote
slick Posted May 18, 2004 Author Report Posted May 18, 2004 Davis, thanks for the link. Hopefully pat or brian see this. I don't want to bug them about it. Quote
Z34door Posted May 18, 2004 Report Posted May 18, 2004 why would you want to relocate them to the trunk? would you have 20 foot long spark plug wires?? think about the voltage drop Quote
slick Posted May 18, 2004 Author Report Posted May 18, 2004 I don't think that i would put them in my trunk neccessarily. I would just put them somewhere else in the engine bay, where there easier to access. EDIT: This is someone's coil packs Patgizz relocated his battery to the trunk, so he put his coil packs there. I might even relocate them underneath the air filter, on that metal plate. Quote
patgizz Posted May 18, 2004 Report Posted May 18, 2004 i think brian was referring to the battery in the trunk. mine's tucked away in the spare tire well. coils are on the old battery tray. i think brian89gp put his coils up on the pass side strut tower somewhere. whatever you do, dont remove the heat shield from the front exhaust manifold, ive got heat soak issues now with my starter, need to put a heat shield back on the manifold or one on the solenoid. slick, you dont need to wait for me to see a topic, if you have a question about anything ive done just shoot me a PM i don't mind. i dont get a chance to read most of the topics here because i'm busy 99% of the time.

slick Posted May 18, 2004 Author Report Posted May 18, 2004 Well, thanks. Yeah, i'm stuck inbetween wether to put it under the passenger side brace(wouldn't have to mess with the wires much) or locating them on the metal plate near the battery(would just have to turn the wires around, no biggy).

patgizz Posted May 18, 2004 Report Posted May 18, 2004 i'd do passenger side cause you can pull the wires out of the main harness and not add length to them. Quote
Brian P Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 why would you want to relocate them to the trunk? would you have 20 foot long spark plug wires?? think about the voltage drop Ah, FINALLY someone got it Quote
