my power fc is locked/password protected whatever, would a tuner be able to unlock it does anyone know?

You need a Datalogit to unlock it. Yes a tuner might be able to unlock it if they've got the smarts.

never seen a 'kit' before mate , most people use stereo (0 or 4 guage) cable (there is probably better cable you can use? ) , and run it from wherever the + battery terminal under the bonnet leads to, then earth to the body somewhere in the boot then buy a marine battery box and house the battery in that :) (just remember the battery has to vent outside the car to be road legal)

Thanks guys.

Haha I'm the sort of person that whenever I play electician, I leave the shed with tingles lol. I can do a little bit. Once I find where the +battery terminal leads to and mounts, I can run the cable and hook it up into the battery leads ok. How do you go about securing it in the boot so it doesn't roll around? Otherwise it not bolted down but it secure positioned in the footwell behind my drivers seat :laugh:

Most of the stuff you need you should be able to find at a campervan/trailer place or auto electrician joint will sell the parts.

You'll need the biggest cable you can afford (up to 0 gauge) 4ga as a minimum. Don't use car audio cable, use something with thicker strands in the windings.

6-7m of + cable

2m of - cable (must be the same size cable or bigger)

Insulated mountable terminal post

Crimp on ring terminals (once the cable is cut to length, get somone to crinp them on the cable for you)

Heatshrink (thick stuff with glue inside)

Battery terminals

Battery tray

Battery tie down

Battery box

Make shure you sand back to bare metal any earth points on the chassis. Any terminals on the cables have to be crimped on correctly. Try and consolidate the + feeds onto the + post in the engine bay.

Have fun

Justin

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
