Thread: Battery Relocation to trunk

That comment was directed at eggman.

I assume you have a 1992 B13? In that case, you should be able to leave the ground wire in the engine bay alone, or cut it off where it meets the chassis.

That ground wire (if you follow it) goes from the negative battery terminal, to the chassis, and to the thermostat housing. Make sure the connection from the thermostat housing to the chassis is in tact, and you can forget about the rest. You can cut it off if you want, or tie it up and away somewhere.

Alternatively I would take this opportunity to ditch the stock ground all together since it is probably heavily corroded and replace it with new terminals and thick wire. Go from the thermostat housing to the chassis with it and you're done.

Ground it to the body, and also ground the battery to the body in the back. You should only need to run the cable for positive up front

Oh,yeah...put the battery on the passenger side in the trunk for the best weight distribution,also.
Our cars are heaviest at the drivers side front and lightest at the passengers rear,so it helps balance this out.
