Battery moving

[fortissimo]

I have moved my battery into the boot of my T8 ready for my 3" stainless steel exhaust ie delete the 90 deg cast elbow & fit a bigger shallower curve front pipe..
to gain a few more bhp...

battery sits about 1" above the boots false floor so I retain 95% boot area.

had to move my toolkit to under rear shelf.

can you see the new battery cables

both cables went over rear wheel arch under the carpet & through the bulkhead using large bellow where standard wires/loom goes.

car starts/drive fine all ok

I used 170A starter cable used 10 metres of it I took both -/+ cables from battery to front of car...

How far are you planing to go? With that Volvo IC I got enough to setup before there is more to go.
And is the 3" exhaust the only reason to move the battery? Don't understand the sence of moving the battery.

Ok, another question, what is vac capsule, what they are talking over at 900aero to exchange by a better or something?

Thanks

finally i get to know how t h a t works.
Fine you kept the original tool kit! No, I can't see any battery cables!!

Where is the exact position now, behind the right rear wheel arch? So did you have to cut out the wooden "ironing board", the trunk's floor in order to get the battery placed?

Furthermore, what do I see, Leather Seets for 900 with another than the Contour Shape?


Still the guys with the most evil mods to their Turbos in here don't need the "batteriboj", it seems. . .

reason for moving my battery is to get rid of the cast 90 deg elbow on the turbo as this is a big restriction on power..
by removing the cast elbow & fitting a 3" front pipe with bigger shallower curve this will gain about 10 or 15 BHP

as for not seeing the -/+ cables thats right you can't as there hidden under the carpet..

the battery sits behind the righthand wheels arch just infront of the rear light, as for the boot floor yes it did need cutting a section of 25mmx250mm long

like this.........

you can see the wheelarch & rear light

another view of the section I had to cut out

as for the vac capsule mod on 900aero it works by letting you run more retarded timing under boost so you can run with more boost at higher RPM

[fortissimo]

"what does "batteriboj" mean in English"

Battery-. . . "Corner"? No, rather "Bend". Obviously as you have to move the Battery for that thing.
