Just wondering whats the best way to install the battery in the boot ? for the negative, is it safe to just use the body and find the thickest and best cable for the positive ?

I was thinking to get one from a import skyline since the battery is in the boot.

Reason im thinking of doing this is because then i can mount the sc14 supercharger easier and keep everything under a stock bonnet.

Also, i got a hold of a stock R33 skyline intercooler :D

yes its fine to ground on the chassis and use as thick a cable as you can. if you do a search u should find a post that i did a while back on how to do it.
however since then, myself and other people have had problems with starting, which was resolved when the battery was returned to the engine bay. so it must have been too much voltage drop over the length of cable, or there was some problem with grounding on the chassis in the boot (this is on a 3.5l btw, i haven't heard of any other make/model engine having these problems with a similar setup so it should be fine).

Thanks for that. I found the thread and read it all made me think of ALOT of stuff. What kind of circuit breaker did you use ? is it like one of those trip switches you use in a home ?

yea but what use is it.... lol

They are pretty damn good imo. My sisters r33 is running at 15 psi with stock intercooler and does the job pretty well. My supercharger would probably be running at 5-6 psi ?

She is going to upgrade to a big front mount soon :)

yea but u dont need an intercooler with a supercharger... it cools the air for you...

Dont forget to vent your rear battery to atmosphere if its not a dry cell.

Yeah i was thinking about this ey.

@ menash im not sure if its the stock turbo but when when my sister took the car to some place to have a look at a problem, the guy there said that its running at 15 psi and should drop it or get a bigger intercooler asap.

@ wooley, are you sure that i dont need an intercooler ? its still forced induction or do the superchargers have there own way of cooling ? Oh well, could use it as a wank factor ( haha i have an intercooler :D )

tbo guys, i thought of the idea to throw the battery in the boot for space while i was in the toilet. I havent measured if it actually will make more space for me but im sure it will. Tommorow ill have a good look.

the more you compress air the hotter it gets...

you do need a interclooser with superchargers, look at the commodore upgrades, and aftermarket stuff, you need it when you run over 10psi, that's the same with turbos, when you compress any air it gets hot

i got mine from jaycar - 75 amp , it's not exactly the same as a home circuit breaker but same principal, it has a little trip switch on it and two points to connect to.
