hey i was wondering, i was thinking of moving the battery to the trunk of my car, i was wondering wat size gauge cables to use or just leave the battery there and run my piping down and to the side, but the problem i run into is my a/c fluid thing, i mean its a silver canister with 2 silver pipes runing to the a/c fan....., plan is to run my intake down on the passenger side now and intercooler piping later...

thx

The larger gauge wire you use the less resistance you'll run into. I wouldn't relocate with anything smaller then 4 gauge, and I would seriously consider 2 or 0/1. Just make sure if you do relocate that you fuse it...don't want to turn your ride into a weenie roast.

One thing I've heard that people are doing is just getting a smaller battery (like miata size) then they are able to turn it side-ways and run their CAI beside it. Maybe this would work for you? Good luck with the mods.
