Battery relocation question

[Corey121]

I understand there is plenty for threads with this topic but im after some questions, What is a good gauge wire to use is it going to hurt anything to run the wires side by side and would it hurt to run it by the ecu?

If you understand that there are plenty of threads about this topic, why didn't you browse through them to find the answers that you're asking?

just use a 4 gauge amp kit, bonus if you are already running a system

I use 1/0 gauge wire, 4 gauge is too small, you will get a lot of voltage drop through that long cable, also use a 200A fuse or a breaker

There are so many kits out there that you can use. I just bought mine from summit racing. If you're planning on doing this, it'd prolly be a good idea to get a box as well. I went with moroso

Thanks for your two measly cents i have looked through them and i still dont have my answers i have the gauge and i know i need a breaker but i still want to know if it is safe to run the wires side by side and by the ecu. Oh and i dont need any more of your specific two cents, since you not helping at all.

Thanks to everyone else that is try to answer my questions.

You shouldn't have any problems running the wires side by side as long as they are covered and there isn't any exposed wires touching. I'm not 100% certain about running it beside the ECU but since that is where the lines are run most of the time, I don't see there being an issue with that either.

Only reason I said something about getting a box is because its not something most people think of and its something that could be beneficial in the long run...

Hope this helps

I dont understand why people are so confused or questioning the box. its $10 it looks better and its safer, if you cant afford it sell your car, im not talking about this thread specifically but I have heard so much about why do I need a box? As far as the side by side wires there is nothing wrong with that they dont give off anything they are insulated.

Thank you for clearing everything up, im not questioning the battery box i do plan on getting one and have it vent outside the car or i might just by a gell cell so i dont have to worry about vapors.

Thank you everyone that answered my questions
