Hi All,

Tried searching for this one but couldn't come up with anything!

I'm trying to fit in a 2 cubic foot subwoofer box in the boot, behind all existing finishing panels, etc.

Next to the battery at the moment is a space of almost 1 cubic foot... the rest of the box will be fibreglassed around the right-hand strut tower, etc.

What I want to do is shift the battery holder as far to the left as possible to give me the maximum amount of room to play with. From factory it is bolted in between the ribs in the boot floor, it looks like I can shift it over "one rib" to the left.

Has anyone tried this? Are there any fuel lines, cables, etc behind that floor panelling that I'll have to move before drilling?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

i agree with hippy...

says that it sealed but you can still add distilled water if needed to certain cells....you just have to take a panel off...i assume its sealed seems like it is and thats what is stated by the company...had it for a while no leaks or anything..seems fine.

i fitted an eclipse sub in my 33 it was meant to have a 56 litre or 2 cubic foot enclosure fitted it to the right of the battery and built it out 130 mm towards the boot and across to a custom amp rack that fills in the corner put a bit of dackron in the box and it pumps way better than i thought it would and my mate who is in the car audio field was also shocked......and by the guys this thread did start out as a sub topic not a battery topic if your worried about what battery you want buy a odyssy expensive but can be fitted anywhere

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
