Idaho Tuner's 240/|SR Build thread

[idahotuner]

nope. it is small enought that it sits right where the stock on did. i wil ltake pics of it tonight to show. possible. i get out there to work on it. i odnt really have much to do besides body work right now. the bay is allready to recieve the engine. i just need money for parts and then i cna install it. back in

[White Comet]

well yeah a lot of batteries can fit there but i relocated mine to clean up/ distribute weight

[idahotuner]

the wieght differrnce between this batter is hardly anything. leaving it where it is or moving it wont make a difference. it is so light.

[White Comet]

how much does it weight? even a lighter battery relocated to the rear will help bring the car closer to 50/50

[idahotuner]

i think like 13 pounds but i am not sure on that. it is really light, dry cell battery. i wil ltake pics and show you

[White Comet]

sounds good but 13 sounds a little too light

[idahotuner]

i know it isnt more then15

[White Comet]

dang thats pretty light, the red top optima is heavy and relocating cleans up a lot of stuff

[idahotuner]

hey i didnt get a chance to take pics today. i will i nthe morning maybe or tonorrow evening

[White Comet]

alright sounds good, im gonna look up that battery, never heard of it b4

[idahotuner]

[duffman1278]

you're getting an odessy battery?

[idahotuner]

i bought it as soon as i bought the car. works great.

[White Comet]

how much does the odessy cost?

[idahotuner]

i bought mine for 100 buck of ebay. it was brand new and hasa warrenty and everything.

[idahotuner]

[2LO4URHO]

well i took pics but my camera deleted them beforei imported them o nmy computer

HaHa "FAIL!"

[idahotuner]

yea tell me about it. lol it sucks. well right now i am waiting for my gauges to get here s o ican instal lthem other then that i dotn have much to do. maybe some body work but that is it.

[2LO4URHO]

Well work is work so get to it!

[idahotuner]

i cant wait for my car to get painted and my new windsheild to be in.

[2LO4URHO]

I wonder how hard would it be to make mine pop a wheelie going down the drag strip? I think that'l be cool

[idahotuner]

a lot of tq some big sticky tires. and a LSD.

i think it would be sweet if i could get mine to do that too. but i doubt it will happen. the 240 is front heavy the bac end will more then liely break loose

[White Comet]

yeah it'll take a lot to lift the front of an s13

[2LO4URHO]

Yeah you're right but there has to be a way to counter that by being able to shift the weight in the front, back to the rear wheels. I would think you would it would be in the way u set up your suspension. And some big sticky icky tires lol might make your back squat and keep traction

[idahotuner]

b cool but i doubt it will happe. well m ydad got his intake for his mr2 today. he has cleaned up the motor pretty good . iwill psot pics of it later maybe.

it helps a little to have the battery in teh back, the extra weight in teh rear will help

[idahotuner]

is that a dig casue i got my battery in the front lol. i am going for light weight haha not for a better power to lb ratio
